BMW M5 G90: Understated Beauty

Despite the illuminated kidney grille, the new G90-generation BMW M5 boasts understated beauty with a subtle hint of aggressiveness. Just like its long-roof Touring version, the clean lines and aero kits of the sedan aren’t offensive, and despite the hefty weight it now carries, the electrified powertrain has brought the midsize M Bimmer to supercar territory in terms of power output: 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, coming from a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid setup.

But in case subtlety isn’t your thing, Mansory has just introduced a loud and screaming version of the BMW M5, with restraint thrown out the window. Even better, it has been given a power bump through the German tuner’s P850 uptune offering.

Power Bump for the Combustion Engine

As the name implies, Mansory’s P850 tune brings the overall output of the BMW M5 to 850 metric ponies, or 838 hp and 848 lb-ft on this side of the pond. These are huge jumps from the standard 717 hp and 738 lb-ft torque, which allow a 0-60 mph sprint in just 3.4 seconds. Mansory hasn’t disclosed any performance figures, but we’d expect it to be close to three seconds flat for the century sprint.

Details on how the final P850 figures were achieved weren’t disclosed, but the S68 engine has likely been given the extra oomph, with the electric motors kept intact. In stock tune, the V8 powerplant churns out 577 hp and 553 lb-ft. Meanwhile, the electric motor is rated at 194 hp and 207 lb-ft.

Apart from the engine tune, Mansory’s BMW M5 also gets a sports exhaust with a triple exit at the back. The engine block is covered with a glossy carbon fiber material, but as with most things from the infamous brand, the exterior gets the wildest makeover.

Wild Styling to Match the Wild Uptune

BMW has its own set of M Performance Parts for the new M5, but Mansory’s recipe consists of outlandish elements. These include forged carbon fiber parts, orange pinstriping, and illuminated elements all over the super sedan. These are found on the hood, grille, front lip, front and rear air intakes/outlets, winglets, mirror caps, side skirts, C-pillar, fender, rear diffuser, and roof and decklid spoiler.

The company also throws in a set of 22-inch glossy black forged wheels for good measure, matched with orange brake calipers. Bonus points for those who can spot the unusually positioned illuminated Mansory logos.

Inside, the company didn’t provide any details for the package, but options are available, including standard Mansory things like floor mats, custom upholstery, starlight headliner, and illuminated scuff plates.

Mansory didn’t announce the pricing for its BMW M5 package, but given the heft of upgrades, including the uptune and extensive use of expensive carbon fiber elements, expect eye-popping numbers to add on to your near-$120,000 super sedan.
