30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 offers increased
performance
The 4.4 liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8
engine from the M5 with Competition Package receives an additional 25
horsepower thanks to increased turbocharger pressure and engine
control module enhancements. Elsewhere, the addition of a dedicated
control module allows the Active M Differential to react sooner and
improve the traction when exiting corners.
Capable of 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 3.7 seconds, the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 adds an improved M-specific Servotronic function as well as an improved M Dynamic mode, prepared to use the full potential of the increased power and traction.
