Optimized cross-bank exhaust manifolds
Exhaust reduced 11 lbs (by way of fitting a Helmholtz resonator)
Flap-controlled exhaust system controlled by selected driving mode
New M Sound Control button allows independent control of exhaust flaps

Transmission / M xDrive all-wheel-drive

Front wheels only deliver power when rear wheels are not able to transmit any more torque to the road and additional tractive force is required.
Active M Differential
3 DSC Modes: 4WD, 4WD Sport, 2WD
4WD gives maximum traction while still allowing some slip at rear wheels
4WD Sport sends more torque to the rear and rear wheel slip is increased allowing for more oversteer and slip angle
2WD = pure rear-wheel-drive mode
8-speed M Steptronic transmission
Torque converter lock-up clutch fully engages, proving instantaneous response
Shift mapping controlled with Drivelogic rocker switch
In manual mode, no automatic upshifts at rev limiter


Chassis / Suspension

M-specific Variable Damper Control (Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus modes)
M Servotronic steering (incl. three driving modes: Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus)
Chassis tuned to achieve neutral steering behavior with linear build-up of transverse loads across the full range of lateral acceleration
M-specific double-wishbone suspension front axle with increased track width (64.02 in. versus 63 in. on standard 5 Series)
M-specific five-link rear suspension
Firmer anti-roll bars and new toe links with stiffer rubber mounts
M5-specific elastomer bearings on rear axle mounts
Steel X-brace and an aluminum transverse strut at rear axle
Aluminum tower-to-bulkhead and tower-to-frontend strut braces

@ R1.85m I could never afford to pay that much for a car right now or in the near future..
But relative to the current super car prices, it really is, (dare I say it) “CHEAP!”.
0-100 in 3.2 seconds is Ferrari 458 quick, not forgetting this has more creature comforts , 4 doors, 4 seats and a large boot..

Epic!
