BMW F10 5 series bowing out with a bang, with the M5 Competition Edition

Like everything in life, there is the beginning and the end. The same rule applies to cars. Once it reaches the end of its generation, it ceases existence, and a new generation model takes over its place. In the case of the BMW F10 generation 5 series, its end is drawing to a close, with the next generation G30 and its high-performance F90 M5 alter ego slated to take over. But, it would not be a muted farewell as Munich wants to give a special valediction to the F10 series, in a form of BMW M5 Competition Edition.

What better way to close the F10 chapter, other than giving it an extra boost of power to its wonderful 4.4 litre TwinPower Turbo V8. Thanks to recalibration of boost pressure, 600 hp and 700 Nm overall output is yours to play, up from 560 hp and 680 Nm. Result? 3.9 second 0-100 kph time, a good 0.5 second quicker than the non-Competition Edition M5. Before being consigned to the history book, it is a good idea to leave unforgettable performance figure that makes the car meaningful.

It wouldn't be a perfect send off if you end up in the ditch somewhere. So, BMW outfitted an uprated spring, an electronically controlled damper and a thicker stabilizer bar courtesy of the M Competition Package. Also, carbon ceramic brakes housed within the 20-inch 7 double-spoke alloy wheels ensure the farewell party doesn't end with mangled metal for our F10 friend.

Only 200 units are available. Colour wise, there are 2 available colour schemes: Carbon Black and Mineral White, with 100 units each getting either colour schemes.

With the F10 on its way out, hopefully the upcoming G30 and F90 M5 will be even better.
