That is BADASS. It’s almost ricey, but would look tasteful in a different color. The wheels are awesome and I think the widebody is needed to make the M5 more aggressive than the base models.

Wow, an extra 60hp…don’t sign me up.

^It’s more of an aesthetic upgrade than horsepower, but I’m sure that 60 horses is noticible it the carbon fiber reduced the weight enough.

Please hand me my sunglasses. Thanks.

thats terrible. Its not a honda civic… boy racers dont have that much money. Im sure the market is very limited for this type of product.

This is perfect for drug dealers when they get “tired” of their SUV’s.

Of course the market is limited… AC Schnitzer did similar things to BMWs and recieved generally good reactions. The orange paint doesn’t help and the body kit is outlandish, but I think its cool as hell…

That indead is bad ass, and is tastfully done this is what those ricers try to make, not the other way around just because fast and the ferous has cased 100rds of cars to be turned into grap doesnt make this bad it makes them bad so dont hate. Remember witch was first.

Wtf were they thinking with those wheel wells? Those wheels are pretty clearly photoshopped. And last time I checked you can still paint carbon fiber, right?

If are looking for something with tons of HP/Torque with looks that make you crap your pants then its the solstice that you want.. who do I sound like? LOL

Next to the new Pontiac G8, this BMW is horse****. You can tell the Germans are trying everything possible to survive the onslaught of the American Revolution. Witness the last iteration of the 3 series folks. After 2008, BMW will be no more.

asiminator, I disagree. I’m seeing tuned up german cars all over LA right now. Also, IMO it looks more like something you’d see in forza motorsport then tokyo drift (more racey then ricey). I don’t think it looks cheap. I like it.

looks like my post above got in just in time LOL!!!!!

ONE WORD: SWEET

I love the wheels, they’re insane. Not sure if I like the color scheme though.

ill take the engine upgrade, ill leave all the puerto rican bolt on parts at home.

hahahaha bousbous55

The ricer look does not match the elegance of the 5-series.

It’d be like putting that kit on a Town Car, for goodness’ sake.

the old m5 was perfect…..
bmw screwed it up in every way possible……
now these idoits are ruining it evenmore…..

Pontiac G8 or BMW M5… Hmmmm…
Anyway, the car would look much nicer in a different color. Unpainted carbon fiber looks great when paired with the right color. I like it because the chances of one individual doing something like this to a Beamer are slim to none.

Hey MS. GM#whatever… why don’t you just comment on pages that has something to do with GM, and stay away from the rest if you don’t like it!!

^I agree.

ill take it in jet black please, now this is what a bmw is all about. nice darn car, i likey alot.

Eh, the car lost all class and sophistication with this. They took an already akward design and made it more akward. Thank goodness they didn’t mess up the 3 series too much.

I’d like to see the dyno numbers on the improvement. Giving a round number like 560 makes me think that there hasn’t been proper testing on the output, or that there is some bufferring for marketing purposes.

If I had an M5, they would have to pay me to do this to my car.

Becuase this is a GM fansite. BMW articles are just fluff. There will always be more reaction to the GM pieces and when the fluff comes around we are going to comment on it as well until the next jucy GM piece comes.

That’s awesome. I’m not really a fan of the current 5 styling, but this is a plus.

As for sophistication, as I recall, all M’s have relatively stiff suspensions compared to their normal brethren, because BMW is still true to performance. Not the most luxurious ride. And that’s a good thing for M’s. Thank god they aren’t Mercedes-ifying them like an AMG

Just going to get to the flatbed a little quicker than a regular M5

GM I think I might start a website called GMshoulderlane.com just for you!

1966_GTO,
It’s Bimmer, not Beamer. Just an FYI .

anyone notice that the wheels ae ofset in the 2nd picture and not in the first? also i think the kit wouldnt look bad if u smooth part some vents shut. the rear bumper looks real bad. and 60hp from a NA highly stresed motor isnt that bad

Yeah megator, I noticed that too.

I LIKE THIS!!! this is frickin’ cool. i want one exactly like that. man i love the rims. chrome rules

oh ****, i thought those rims were chrome in the mini picts. damn now this thing NEEDS MORE CHROME on the wheels

Thank goodness there is a worldwide shortage of carbon fiber.

LLN…again you disappoint with stupid tuner news. Ricing perfectly good German cars must be your #1 passion. Only 12-16 yr olds could think this disaster is “kewl”. What a waste of time and money. This “kit” is only worthy of a Civic or WRX, not a BMW. Who the F needs 500 hp let alone 560 in the USA? No one. Keep the news to what actual adults want to buy, please.

I do have to agree with GM#1…
If the G8 looks as cool as the Commodore, ill have the Commodore/G8 instead.

I personally like the car in orange.

The M5 was the sort of “stately” ass-kicker to me. The color and the rims really don’t do it for me on this type of car.

The wheels are the best feature. you can’t call it ricey b/c it’s actually a fast car that deserves what ricers put on their cars. It’s not that tasteful, but is built for speed. Orange is a cool color, however.

Its quite nice, but for my style, something black would go better and with more driveable rims (19″).

Why the hell are people always complaining. Its a M5 slighty tunned with bigger arches and wheels and and a new back bumper. Im not BMW’s best fan but I gotta admit this thing looks beautiful, I never really ever wanted a BMW so bad. Coming from a Merc fan that mean something

Stuart, you should be dreaming of a real car like the CTS, not some POS German. I’d be embarrassed driving a BMW. And I’d be afraid of getting my ass kicked by the guy in the Pontiac G8. Go GM!

man…this looks like a photoshop creation..

Okay to the ppl that complain about the quality of the articles, go buy a magazine u dumbass. seriously left lane news averges about 6 car related articles a day. That is quite hard to do seeing as how the auto world is so small. so yeah from time to time filer like this will come along. dont like dont read it.

GM#one4loosers- you fear getting your ass kicked no matter what you drive.

I love the rear facsia, and the wheels/widebody. Dip it in Jet Black paint, and limo tint. I like orange, but on smaller cars usually.

I’m not sure GM#1 even believes everything he types, but you guys sure buy into it. He gets his kicks off of your guys reactions, so stop taking the bait! If some of you guys were fish in the pond, you would have been in the frying pan a long time ago.

I figure he’s not going anywhere, may as well take shots at him.

That’s true ironpony42, but what if he thinks like a real enthusiast and drives a Bimmer himself then does this for kicks. HIGHLY unlikely, but I think that’s what MHW is getting at. Maybe we’re not actually taking shots at him so much as taking the bait.

Still, one the other side of the argument…I think ppl coming up with ways to dis GM#1 has become sort of leftlanenews culture. Even when the trolls are gone/taking a break, we still make jokes about them.

does GM really think the G8 is an american car cos thats sad

and they say german rice doesnt exist….the liars…

Ricers dream of bodykits as well integrated as that, not my thing but I’ve got to say its very well done. I could imagine myself getting one if I lived in Michigan and wanted to bait fanatical GM fans, looks almost brash enough to attract their attention.

Presumably the extra horsepower is achieved with an engine-life-shortening remap; hardly worth reporting really, I miss the days when tuners actually got their spanners dirty.

alpina version anytime over this…”CLR 500 RS” seems like a racing benz project name

Lol! Looks like they raided the Focus ST Factory and stole some Electric Orange paint!

Moderators should have banned GM#1 a long time ago because he is a disgrace to this site.

Just what the M5 needs, more power and no warranty. I like the wheels though.

cool as hammer pants.

well said.
