The heavyweight performance sedan benefits from visual and aerodynamic improvements
- The new BMW M5 is optionally available with an M Performance Parts bodykit made of CFRP.
- Interior options are currently limited to branded floor mats and a Nappa leather key case.
- New wheel designs will be available in the summer of 2025.
Fresh out of the M5’s global debut last month, BMW revealed a range of optional accessories and M Performance parts for the electrified performance sedan. These are said to bring stylistic, and aerodynamic improvements, for owners willing to put their hands deeper inside their pockets.
The BMW M Performance Parts catalogue includes a more prominent twin-section front splitter, aerodynamic side skirt extensions with integrated fins, a larger rear spoiler, and a twin-section rear diffuser. The latter covers the lower part of the heavily sculpted rear bumper, adding more visual weight to the M5’s tail.

All the components are hand-crafted from carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) featuring a clear coat finish. BMW also threw in matching trims for the quad tailpipes. These are made from a mix of titanium and carbon fiber, featuring embossed M5 emblems.
The bodykit can be combined with the optional M Performance side decals in Frozen Black, which are said to withstand regular visits to the car wash. Finally, the antenna cover and the fuel tank cap add more carbon into the mix, with the latter featuring brushed aluminum M Performance badging.
If you’re looking for a new set of lighter M Performance alloy wheels for your BMW M5, you’ll have to wait until summer 2025 when these will become available.
As for the interior, options are currently limited to new floor mats with contrasting stitching and M Performance branding, and a new key case made of black fine-grain Nappa leather. Finally, the BMW M tire bags are a cool touch for storing the extra set of rubber in your M-themed garage.
There is no word on the cost of the M Performance upgrades but we suspect that if you get carried away you could easily end up with an M5 costing significantly more than the base MSRP of $119,500.
The BMW M5 is powered by a plug-in hybrid V8 rated at 717 hp (727 PS / 535 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. While this is more than enough power for a premium sedan, the new model tips the scales at 5,390 lbs (2,445 kg), or 1,020 lbs (463 kg) heavier than its predecessor.
