The All New 2019 Bmw M5 Competition Has Emerged From The Woodwork.

In the race to ultimate luxury and superiority, BMW has upped the ante with the latest sedan in it’s M-Series line-up, the 2019 BMW M5 COMPETITION and has gone through great troubles to ensure the new upgrades doesn’t go unnoticed. This new car boasts of extra scoop of power and sportiness to the already highly capable regular M5 model. There’s no doubt that the sharper and slightly quicker 2019 BMW M5 Competition sounds like the car for you, it’ll be landing in showrooms in the month of September.

What’s the cockpit like ?

The new M5 is a seriously impressive piece, with better on-road manners and sharper performance chops than its predecessor. The cabin gets M seatbelts, M5 logo floor mats and the M Competition graphic display on the gauge cluster at start-up.

Like the M5, the intuitive iDrive 6 system handles infotainment duties in the Competition with a 10.2-inch center touchscreen, gesture controls, 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound audio system, navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot and an available wireless charging pad. Apple CarPlay capabilities are also included but disappointingly BMW still doesn’t support Android Auto.

Under the hood ?

The twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine gets a small bump from the base M5’s 600 horsepower to 617. The power peak also changes, from 5700 to 6600 rpm in the lesser car to exactly 6000 rpm in the Competition. Maximum torque remains at 553 lb-ft and is available from 1800 rpm all the way until 5860 rpm, an increase of 160 revs at the high end. The result, BMW says, is a zero-to-60-mph time that drops by 0.1 second to 3.1 seconds; however, the regular car hit 60 mph in a shocking 2.8 seconds, so BMW’s time is likely very conservative.

How about the price?

For a beauty like this, it will be wearing an $105,000 (N37.8 M Approx) base price, and I have no doubt many will happily pony up the cash for what’s easily the most capable factory M5 to date. Of course, if you’d prefer better ride comfort and can settle for just 600 horsepower, the base M5 is still a total sweetheart.
