Even if the all-new BMW M5 is considered one of the most important models from the carmaker`s entire M range, thanks to exquisite design and most importantly, by raw power and performance under the hood, the high-end model is expected to be equipped with the Competition Package as well, meaning greater juice underneath the skin and new tweaks to the car`s chassis.

First announced last year in September and later on in December 2017, the M5 Competition Package will follow the footstep of the M4 Competition Package, with some important upgrades that won`t resume to just carbon ceramic brakes.

According to some new reports, the all-new BMW M5 Competition Package might be premiered in April. The greatest news is that it will pack a raw 625 horsepower, meaning 25 horsepower more over the stock 2018 BMW M5.

On top of that, the new 2018 BMW M5 Competition Package will also arrive with a number of new tweaks that will differentiate it from the factory model.

If the BMW M4 Competition Package received last year the company`s new Adaptive M Suspension, dampers, anti-roll bars and new springs, the 2018 M5 Competition will add updated shocks and a set of new alloys, along with some subtle changes inside. Of course, the option list is much bigger and the company will come back with more information on that.

Back to the car`s power, the M5 Competition Package will arrive with 625 horsepower as aforementioned, meaning improved performance figures. And even if we don’t have any details on that, we expect an improvement of around 0.2 seconds over the stock`s standstill of 3.2 seconds. So, how does 3.0 seconds sound to you?

As a reminder, BMW M CEO Frank Van Meel, said for Road and Track magazine last year that customers had been asking and waiting for an M5 Competition Package for a long time and it would be just a matter of time until the model arrived on the market ready to tackle the performance of its rival – the Mercedes-Benz E 63 S AMG.

We hope that BMW will keep its promise and deliver a high-performance M5 model with exceptional performance and top characteristics. We`ll keep you posted on that!

Following the footsteps of the M4`s Competition Package high-end version, the recently unveiled 2018 BMW M5 at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, has also been confirmed to wear the company`s exclusive Package, arriving on the market somewhere next year.

The news was confirmed by Motor1 publication, with Andy Cook, BMW product executive, declaring that the M5 Competition Package would come with some additional changes at the exterior and inside, over the standard model. This means “tweaked dynamics, and likely standard ceramic brakes – which are a $10,000 option on the standard car.”

However, rumors also have it that the 2018 BMW M5 Competition Package will bring new more than just carbon ceramic brakes.

Some of the additional tweaks might be exactly the same found on the M4 Competition Package, like Adaptive M Suspension with new springs, anti-roll bars and dampers. Of course, there is also the possibility of adding new and more standout alloy wheels.

As for the car`s engine and performance, there aren`t fresh details concerning chances. This means the same motorization as the standard 2018 BMW M5.

As a reminder, the 2018 BMW M5 comes equipped with a 4.4-liter V8 engine, with 600 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque. This allows a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 3.4 seconds, while the quarter mile is done in 11.1 seconds. The high-end model is paired as well to a high-performance eight-speed automatic transmission and a brand-new all-wheel drive system. The top speed is also set at 250 km/h, but can be raised to 305 km/h, if equipped with the M Driver`s Package.
