M Performance Parts for the 2018 BMW M5
With deliveries of its 2018 M5 due to begin next March, BMW has announced that a range of M Performance Parts is going to be available for the car.
Chassis upgrades comprise motorsport-derived carbon-ceramic brakes and a coilover suspension set-up with adjustable spring plates.
Many M Performance Parts customers will probably be more keen on visual embellishments, though. For them, there's a selection of carbon fibre components including front bumper attachments, side sill extensions, door mirror caps, a rear diffuser and two types of spoiler. Some fairly subtle tricolour stripes could appeal, too.
Apart from a seemingly pointless carbon fibre cover extension kit, nothing is being offered to modify the 592 bhp (441 kW / 600 PS) 4.4 litre V8 engine. However, a sports exhaust with a titanium muffler and carbon fibre tailpipe trims has been developed exclusively for Canada and the USA.
Dedicated track day enthusiasts (or anybody who enjoys boring their friends) might be interested in the M Performance Drive Analyser. This records all sorts of vehicle parameters, which can then be scrutinised via a dedicated smartphone app.
While most of these retrofit accessories should be in stock when the new M5 arrives at dealers, a few won't be obtainable until July 2018.
