BMW has confirmed that it will launch a Competition
Package version of the 2018 M5. During an interview with Motor 1 at the
Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW product executive for large cars, Andy Cook, said the
Competition Package will include a host of upgrades over the entry-level model.
The BMW M5 Competition Package is expected to launch
next year and could follow in the footsteps of the M4 Competition Package with
upgrades beyond simply carbon ceramic brakes. The most significant change
between the M4 and M4 Competition Package is the latter’s use of Adaptive M
Suspension with new springs, dampers and anti-roll bars. If a similar setup
were used for the M5 Competition Package, the finished product may drive quite
differently to the regular model.
Other changes to the M5 Competition Package could
include bespoke wheels and some interior tweaks.
