- Loads of carbon fiber and bright blue accents have been added to the M5.
- At the rear, this unique Bimmer has a set of Honda-inspired triple exhausts.
- Mansory has also re-trimmed the super sedan’s cabin in black and blue leather.
Mansory has taken a break from overhauling Rolls-Royces and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagens and is now turning its attention to the new BMW M5. Criticized by many as being too heavy but actually turning out to be brilliant to drive, the G90 M5 is a true super saloon that now looks even wilder and offers more performance.
As far as Mansory projects go, its take on the M5 isn’t as extreme as we expected. Mind you, this doesn’t mean that it flies under the radar. As always, the tuner has gone heavy on the exposed carbon fiber parts, installing a new lower grille surround and a pronounced front splitter to add some extra menace to the front end.

The most dramatic change made is to the hood. For whatever reason, Mansory was compelled to add some pronounced carbon fiber vents to the center while keeping the rest body colored. Of course, the changes don’t stop here.
Mansory has added carbon wing mirror caps, new side skirts, and added carbon over the traditional BMW Hofmeister kink. A new set of 22-inch wheels has also been fitted.
And That Exhaust?
Then we get to what’s perhaps the most controversial element of the upgrade: the exhausts. Mansory’s designers clearly spent a lot of time looking at the Honda Civic Type R and have fitted three exhaust tips sitting in the center of the bumper. While we much prefer the placement of the original quad exhausts, the tuner’s solution certainly looks better than the bizarre M Performance exhaust available for the M3 and M4.
No Mansory project would be complete without some thorough interior changes. The tuner has added bright blue leather to the seats and parts of the door panels, contrasted against large swathes of black leather. It’s anything but subtle, but again, by Mansory standards, it’s rather restrained.
Then there’s power. In stock form, the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 hybrid powertrain of the G90 M5 pumps out 717 hp and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Mansory has increased this to 838 hp and 848 lb-ft (1,150 Nm) – which is a good thing because, as we all know, one can never have too much power…
