Probably the most famous BMW tuner in the world, AC Schnitzer knows a thing or two about the Bavarian brand, things it picked up over its nearly 50 years of experience.
Even to this day they make some of the most reliable and fast cars on the planet, backing up every one of their kits with extended warranties. The F10 M5 couldn’t be left out, of course.

Their version has quite a number of improvements not being limited to just a power bump, even though this is also an impressive feature. The ACS5 makes 620 HP and 790 Nm (583 lb-ft) of torque, 60 HP and 110 Nm more than the stock version. With the newly found power the M5 reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.1 seconds (0.2 faster) and goes all the way up to 305 km/h (190 mph) with ease.

The best feature though is the new Export Sound exhaust that’s always working with the valves completely open and sounds absolutely brilliant.

Other add-ons include a new exterior aerodynamic kit that makes the M5 look a bit sharper, a new suspension that lowers the center of gravity by 25 mm and lighter, bigger forged wheels.

Overall, this beauty is absolutely bonkers and might very well be called the M5 BMW should’ve made in the first place. Check out the video done by the guys from Autoblog.nl (English subtitles available).
