American tuner Turner Motosports bought a brand new BMW F10 M5 back in 2012 just because it was their all-time favorite. However, after a while they decided it could be improved and this is what they came up with.
The original car came in an exquisite Frozen Silver finish with almost every possible option on it. The first impressions left them almost speechless, especially since they expected something completely different from the new sedan. Even Will Turner, the company's president said "I love the new M5, the car is so smooth, comfortable, and fast! The power delivery of this twin turbo V8 in unbelievable. The torque is instant with absolutely no turbo lag."
Even though Will was impressed, it still wasn't enough. The first thing they changed was the intake. After hours of serious deliberation, the Gruppe M intake for F10 M5 was chosen and they immediately started the complicated process of installing it. The new Carbon Fibre intake is lighter than the OEM one and will also provide the car with 15 extra HP and 30 lb-ft (40 Nm) of torque.
Next it was time to change the suspension. The weapon of choice was a H&R sport spring system which lowered the car by 1 inch (2.54 cm) at the front and a little over half an inch (1.27 cm) at the back. The whole process took 6 hours and completely changed the feel of the 5er.
As a finishing touch a set of 21" Vorsteiner VS-340 Series wheels was added to the mix, unmistakable due to their twin 7 Spoke Race inspired design. Wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport 265/30/21 tires at the front and 305/25/21 at the back, the car was done.
All they had to do after that was take it for a lap around the Nurburgring, film the experience and share it with us. Fortunately, that's exactly what happened. Enjoy!
