The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2018 might be
over, but material from the Italian event continues to emerge. One of the
latest findings is a special BMW M5 F90 that was displayed on the grounds. The
super saloon is the work of BMW Individual and sports a unique green metallic
paint on the outside.
The cabin of this Individual BMW M5 is dominated by
the dark beige leather that covers the seats, the lower part of the dashboard,
central console and doors. Elsewhere, notice the M specific cue that make a
clear difference between the rest of the 5-Series family and the super saloon.
To the delight of the bystanders, the twin-turbo
4.4-liter V8 engine was fired up for a few seconds, revealing the crackles and
pops of the exhaust. Despite having as much as 600 PS and 750 Nm of torque to play with, the first-ever all-wheel drive BMW M5 isn’t
the most powerful of the range. That position is currently held by the M5
Competition, which benefits from an additional 25 PS, taking as
little as 3.3sec for the 0-100 km/h run, or 0.1sec faster than the
regular M5.
The extra muscle and other work carried all around
will cost you at least US$ 110,995. This means that the BMW M5 Competition is US$ 8,400 more expensive than the base M5 in the United States.
