BMW has released the final version of the F10-generation M5 before the new model makes an appearance in 2017.

In terms of power output, the Competition edition boasts the same outputs as the South African market-onlyPure Metal Edition that we recently tested(441 kW and 700 Nm). The M5 Competition Edition features a number of items from the M5 Competition Pack, such a lowerride height (by 10 mm) and firmer suspension settings, as well as a derivative-specific control setting for the Active M differentialfor optimised traction.

The Competition Edition will be limited to 200 cars, of which half will be finished in Carbon Black and the restMineral White; South Africa will receive just 6 of the units… Each carwill be adorned with a “1/200” logo (to mark the special edition) and shod with 20-inch Jet Black double-spoke Mlight alloy wheels.

The final touches to the Competition Edition include a 1 200WBang&Olufsen surround sound system, head-up display, lane departure warning, heated seats (for the front occupants) and a through-loading system. The BMW Driving Assistant system is an optional extra.

The BMW M5 Competition Editionwill be available from R1964500 and includes a 5-year/100 000 km maintenance plan.
