Appeared in 2018 BMW M5 Competition is full model in the BMW range. Indeed, it is necessary to distinguish between “M” and “M competition”.

German sedan design

The design of this M5 Competition is very similar to the “classic” M5. She holds it the appearance of a large body German sedan which made it successful. In the Competition version, you get, among other things, special 20-inch wheels and numerous high-gloss black accents on the exterior. These strokes of black color are visible on the radiator grill, mirror housings, on the diffuser, on the trunk spoiler, etc.).
You also have the appearance of a “Competition” icon that appears under the “M5” logo.
In 2020, the M5 will receive a minor restyling in particular, a new design on the front lights, which have become sharper. The same goes for the rear, where the headlights become more refined.
As for the interior of this M5 Competition, again, BMW hasn’t made any major changes. You only have a new digital instrument panel, as well as a large central screen with a diagonal of up to 12.3 inches.

A few horses under the hood

It’s good in terms of productivity that the M5 Competition stands out from all its distinguished predecessors. THE overhauled the engine compare to the “base” M5 F90, as is its setup. Under the hood of the Competition version we find 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, which now develops 625 hp ! This is for 25 hp. more than the classic M5. When it comes to torque, the M5 “Compet” delivers 750 Nm! The latter is available in a wider range from 1800 to 5800 rpm.
On the road, the increase in productivity is noticeable, but insignificant. In fact, the M5 Competition only received a tenth for the fiscal year. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds compared to the classic M5.
As we mentioned above, BMW not only improved the engine of the “Competition” version. The latter does offer stiffer suspension springs, a stiffer rear anti-roll bar, and ground clearance reduced by 7mm.
All these additions and new settings make the M5 Competition logically more agile with more dynamic behavior.

What car can compete with the M5 Competition in the 0-100 km/h range (Audi RS6, Mercedes AMG GT 63 S, etc.)?

There are few models in the sports sedan market that can compete with the M5 Competition because the performance of the latter is so high. How not to mention its main competitor Audi RS6. Available in three different versions, you have RS6 performance which is the closest version to the M5 Competition. Although the Audi estate is more powerful (630 hp) and has more torque (850 Nm), it remains slower than the M5 in the 0-100 km/h exercise with a time of 3.4 seconds. The delay is due, among other things, to its weight of 2,090 kg, which is 120 kg more than the M5 with its weight of 1,970 kg. At another opponent, Mercedes-Benz, E-Class 63 S 4Matic+ does not make better. Like the RS6 Performance, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds thanks to 612 hp. and 850 Nm of torque.
To get more performance in a Mercedes, you’ll have to turn to AMG GT 63 S and its 3.2 seconds in the exercise from 0 to 100 km/h. We see the same times on Porsche with Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid. And how can I not quote my own here Tesla Model S blanket and its 2.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h.
