The BMW M5 is a true legend in the performance car segment and in F10 Competition Package guise, can keep up with a number of serious two-door, mid-engine supercars.
Before its replacement is unveiled in the near future, The Smoking Tire’s Matt Farah jumped behind the wheel of an F10 M5 Competition Package to explore what makes this Autobahn cruiser such an effective weapon on the street.
Power for the car comes from a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 567 hp and despite not having the exhaust note of its V10-powered predecessor, it offers some simply staggering driving thrills, thanks in part to its broad power band and exceptional dual-clutch transmission.
To live up to the F10, the new M5 will have to be seriously special. We can’t wait to find out in full what BMW has in store.
