The most powerful production BMW model ever offered, the new special edition M5 “30 Jahre” that celebrates the high-performance series’ 30th anniversary, is on sale now in the UK.
Pricing is set at £91,890 OTR (equal to US$155,880), which represents a hefty £17,950 (US$30,450) premium over the standard M5 that starts at £73,940 (US$125,425).
If you must have one, you should probably make up your mind swiftly, as the UK will get 30 examples out of a total worldwide run of just 300 units.
In summary, what you get over the regular M5 is an Individual frozen gray paint job with gloss black trimmings, unique 20 inch wheels, an Alcantara and Merino leather interior with aluminum accents, the Competition Package with sports tuned chassis, exhaust and electronic driving aid systems, plus a 40PS (39hp) and 20Nm (15 lb-ft) boost for the bi-turbo V8 that now produces 600PS (592hp) and 700Nm (516 lb-ft).
