The BMW M5 Competition Package price in Australia is set at an additional $20,000 AUD. This investment unlocks a range of upgrades designed to elevate the M5 driving experience to new heights. While the initial allocation of launch edition models is already sold out or allocated, this announcement opens the door for new orders to incorporate the coveted Competition enhancements.
So, what exactly does the BMW M5 Competition Package offer for this price? The upgrade encompasses a suite of performance and aesthetic enhancements, including:
- Enhanced Audio: A standard inclusion of the premium Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) Hi-Fi system, ensuring an immersive audio experience to complement the thrilling drive.
- Carbon Fiber Engine Bay: The engine bay receives a visual upgrade with a carbon fiber engine cover, featuring two distinct parts that elegantly overlay the engine and charge air coolers.
- Lowered and Tuned Suspension: The Competition Package features a revised suspension setup, lowering the car by 7-10mm at both the front and rear axles. This adjustment, combined with specific tuning, sharpens handling and responsiveness.
- Shadow Line Exterior Trim: Exterior aesthetics are enhanced with BMW’s signature Shadow Line trim, incorporating black elements for the kidney grille, badges, and side vents, creating a more aggressive and stealthy appearance.
- Increased Power Output: The M5 Competition boasts a power increase, pushing output to 460kW (616hp). Torque figures are still to be officially confirmed, but are expected to see a corresponding rise.
- Competition-Specific Exhaust System: Drawing inspiration from the latest M3 Competition Package, the M5 Competition features a specifically tuned sports exhaust system. This system is engineered to deliver a more visceral and emotive sound, complete with the characteristic crackles and burbles on the overrun.
According to information shared by dealership sources with direct links to Munich, comprehensive details regarding the Competition Package will be disseminated to dealerships in the April bulletin. Production for models destined for Australia is slated for July of this year, with anticipated delivery in the last week of September.
