With all the excitement and talk of the new 2014 575hp Mercedes E63 AMG, many BMW M5 enthusiasts were left wondering how the M team would respond. Well the answer could be here, the 2014 BMW M5 Competition Package. The current standard BMW F10 M5 equipped with the twin turbo driven 4.4L V8 pushes out 560 horsepower but with the new Competition Package the F10 M5 will get a 15 horsepower boost pushing that number to 575 horsepower which is spot on with the all new 2014 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG. You can say the German 4 door horsepower wars have officially started.
Not only does the new F10 M5 get a slight boost in horsepower it will also be available in new color choices and exterior lighting updates. The F10 M5 will still be equipped with the 7-Speed DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) and 6-Speed manual transmission which is only available for the US spec model. The new Competition Pack will not only be available in the new F10 M5 but will also be available in the M6 and M3 models boosting horsepower output. The chassis have also been spec tuned to make the F10 M5 handle even better then before which will result in some great lap times at the world famous Nurburgring racetrack. The Nurburgring is the standard that most car companies use to measure the performance of their cars.
The Competition Package will bring the F10 M5's 0-60 time down from 3.6 seconds to 3.4 and a quarter mile time in the mid 11's which will put it back in the running with the new 2014 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG.
The F10 will once again recieve the famous iDrive 4.2 system with a small update. You can expect to see the new M5 for sale later this year and in the hands of many tuners and customization boutiques as early as the next few months. Roadstarr Motorsports plans to release a Black Edition F10 M5 in the near future that will not only add to the already sleek exterior design but will have a custom tune that will boost horsepower.
