Given that the BMW M5 F10 already has some mileage on it, the expected arrival of the next-generation model in 2018 can’t come soon enough. Sadly, that’s still two years away so for now and the M5 F10 continues to hold the fort for BMW and the M Division. It’s not a bad place to be in considering that the M5 has long been regarded as one of the cornerstones of the M lineup, despite the belief that a lot of its shine has been “stolen” by the M4 and M2. Still, the M5 remains an interesting car, and that holds true for aftermarket companies like CarbonFiber Dynamics, which presented its latest program for the performance sedan, complete with a power upgrade that reaches an eye-popping 818 horsepower.
Yep. That’s 818 horses coming out of the M5’s modified 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine. It’s a little hard to grasp, but CarbonFiber Dynamics made it work in large part because it was able to focus solely on the mechanicals, while its partner firm, 3D Design, worked on the aesthetics and aerodynamic upgrades on the M5. This program is a two-tuner job, which makes it doubly special in my eyes.
The result definitely speaks for itself, the choice of body color notwithstanding. Everything else though, from the carbon fiber aero parts to the wheels and, of course, the engine upgrade, is top caliber. It’s the kind of program that makes the wait for the next-gen M5 more tenable. Kudos to CarbonFiber Dynamics and 3D Design for cooking it up.
