Like most other M Performance parts, those developed for the 5-Series Touring and i5 Touring are made primarily from carbon fiber. This includes the new three-piece M Performance carbon fiber front splitter, which instantly enhances the sporty appeal of both models without looking like an aftermarket special.
The carbon fiber accents continue on the sides with new exterior mirror caps and side sill extensions. Owners can also order Frozen Black accent stripes that run along the car's shoulder line and M Performance decals for the side sills. Perhaps the most noticeable change is at the rear with a bold carbon fiber diffuser. While not as over the top as the diffuser/exhaust combo available on the M4, it's still pretty wild.
M Performance Parts for the new BMW 5 Series Touring
Four new wheel designs are also offered for the 5-Series Touring and i5 Touring, available in 19-, 20- and 21-inch sizes. Those seeking the ultimate in summer performance should opt for the 19-inch M Performance alloy wheels with a Y-spoke design painted in matte black and wrapped in sticky rubber. Behind these new wheels are M Performance 20-inch brakes with red-painted six-piston calipers at the front and a single-piston design at the rear.
Several touches have also been made on the inside. These include M aluminum door sill trims, new door projector slides, M Performance floor mats with contrast stitching and leather-look edging, and stainless steel pedals. Owners can also order a special Alcantara and leather key case and a carbon fiber fuel filler cap.
BMW has not provided market-specific pricing for these parts, but has confirmed that they will be available starting this month.
