Minor visual changes distinguish the M5 Competition from the regular M5. These are black accented grille surrounds, badging, mirrors, door handles and fender vents. The black theme also carries over to the window surrounds, exhaust tips, rear bumper cover and the distinctive M gills in the front flanks. Model-specific 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels round-off the visual changes
Interior changes are limited to seatbelts and floor mats finished in the M colours and a new graphic for the infotainment system.

The M5 Competition will be launched in July and will come at a 10% price premium over the standard car. The M5 Competition competes squarely with the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S and will be great for buyers who want a sport-sedan with a bit more race focus than the standard M5.
