SPEED-BUSTER celebrates the 30th anniversary of BMW M5 with unique tuning program

SPEED-BUSTER offers comprehensive power upgrade for the entire BMW M5 range

BMW 5-Series is 44 years old! Can you believe that? It is almost impossible to grasp that one of the most iconic models in BMW’s lineup has debuted back in 1972 and ever since then it has been praised as being one of the best middle class prestige saloons. Fourteen years later, in 1986, BMW released an M version (M5) of the model, topping a 286 hp of performance and taking the crown as the fastest production saloon in the world! How cool is that actually!

But what happens with the current M5 series. BMW is celebrating 30 years of its introduction with the release of a special edition model. What is more, it has added the unique Gran Turismo variant, which in our opinion shows even better the capabilities of the outstanding Bavarian company.

The current series, M5 F10, has a power output between 560 and 600 hp depending on the variant one chooses. The horsepower is pretty much enough, but for those who want even more there is always someone who will offer “even more”. In this case, such someone is the renowned chip tuning company SPEED-BUSTER. The experts there have prepared a muscle-building program for the German blockbuster.

They have developed a special Chiptuning-Box, which re-maps the electronic brain controlling the TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. If one has chosen to go for the “30 Years” anniversary model, then after the modification he or she will be getting up to 695 hp, which is an increase of 95 hp. The torque has been uprated from 700 Nm to 844 Nm.

Owners of the of the M5 Competition Package variant are getting even more. The power increase has been estimated around 108 hp, thus making the numbers increase from 575 hp to a rousing 683 hp, with peak torque up from 680 to 839 Nm.

The least powerful variant among the M5s is the standard one which comes with “only” 560 hp and 680 Nm. After the SPEED-BUSTER Chiptuning-Box intervention, it is now capable of 631 hp and 820 Nm.

This is the Ultimate M5. G-Power Tunes it to crazy 740 HP

G-Power is a tuner famous for its admirations for BMW models. And specializing only in this single company’s products it has achieved heights that it is literally impossible for anyone else to follow it. Of course, we are speaking in terms of power, since this beautiful black M5 is capable of more than 740 horsepower (455 kW) and 975 Nm (717 lb-ft), delivering it via its tweaked 4.4 V8 bi-turbo engine.

This means that the car achieves the same performance level as the first versions of the legendary G-Power M5 and M6 HURRICANE cars that were equipped with the supercharged V10 engines. And if these numbers mean nothing to you, then you should know that the standard M55 generates “only” 560 hp/(412 kW) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft). Now this is impressive, isn’t it?

But how this gain in power has been achieved? The performance package here is called Bi-Tronik 5 V4. It comprises of an external performance module that has been based on a microprocessor, as well as a Titanium exhaust system with racing catalysts.

Then the Bi-Tronik 5 V4 was enhances by a G-Power V-MAX increase, which is actually a software optimization that adds some numbers to the top speed. The result is breathtaking: the V-max now stands at 350 km/h. All of these changes logically result in better performance figures. G-Power says that the enhanced BMW sprints from 0 to 200 km/h in only 10.5 seconds on its way to the new top speed.

Modifications have been implemented to the engine cover, which is now made from visual carbon fibre, and there is tuning company’s badge in its middle. The sound of the powerful unit now goes out from four titanium/carbon tail pipes. Then, the appropriate wheels were added, being namely the 21 inch G-Power HURRICANE RR, which were then shod with 255/30 ZR 21 and 295/25 ZR 21 Michelins.

All in all, this is another stunning tuning from G-Power that attracts a lot of attention. Great work guys!

PP-Performance and Fostla.de Get Creative on BMW M5

Last week we’ve seen this great PP-Performance project on Ferrari F12berlinetta. Now it is time for the tuners to collaborate with the specialists at Fostla.de and get creative on a BMW M5 Series. First, the foiling experts wrapped entirely the BMW 550i F10 with gray-olive-mat-metallic foil. There are also accents like the shiny-black wrapped shadow-line-elements.

To harmonize the dark look, the windows and the front and rear lamps were tinted. In shining black come the front bumper lip and the rear diffusor. There are even some parts in the interior that include wrappings. Next, the steering wheel has been created by fostla.de and was coated with leather and soft cushioning.

The tuners added H&R lowering springs that lower the vehicle with 35 mm and Yido Performance YP1 Talia wheels of 20 inches in 9×20 ET35 on front and 10×20 ET35 on rear axle. The rim set is offered by fostla.de. They were fitted with Michelin Pilot Sports tires in 245/35ZR20 on front and 285/30ZR20 on the rear axle.

In addition, right before mounting, there have been added 5 mm wheel spacers. The racing sports exhaust system includes downpipes, which also play their part for M5’s performance.

PP-Performance stepped in when it came to the engine tuning. The performance was achieved via stage-2 motor electronics modification, downpipes and maximum speed unlocking. Thanks to this the tuner managed to improve the power significantly. The result of the enhancement is 570 hp (419 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft).
