Call us stupid but around here, there’s nothing like the sound of a V8. A good old muscle car era V8 will bring goosebumps to our skin in a matter of milliseconds. However, from time to time, we like to take a walk on the wild side. This is one of them.
Out of the six M5 models BMW ever launched, only one was ever fitted with a V10 engine. And what an engine that was. Legend has it that it used Formula 1 technology and that angels used to sing once it reached the red line. True or not, all we know is that its sound is absolutely brilliant, especially when fitted with an aftermarket exhaust.
What you’re about to see in the video below is a perfect example of how a couple of carefully picked tunes can change your ride. This is an E60 M5 fitted with the S85 5-liter engine we were talking about earlier that also has a couple of tricks up its sleeve.
Tuning company Mosselman was involved in its creation and you can see that almost everywhere. First off we noticed the MM07-GTR wheels of their own creation along with the TMP spacers all around. Then, the lowering kit from Eibach came to mind as we saw the lowered stance of the car.
According to the uploader, this M5 is also sporting Brembo GT brakes, high-flow cat headers, HJS hi-flow 200 cell sports cats, an HMS cross pipe, an RPi air induction kit, ST pulleys, a Mosselman custom ECU remap and a JD customs wrap.
All in all, you’re looking at a 561 HP and 576 Nm (425 lb-ft) E60 M5 that sounds absolutely vicious. Check it out!
