The BMW M5 has been considered the ultimate performance sedan for a long time now. While it may not be as nimble as some smaller sports vehicles out there like the M3 or Z4, it can certainly hang with the supercars. Moreover, larger performance sedans like the BMW M5 prove to be well-rounded in that they excel at everyday tasks (i.e. commuting and errands) while boasting the innate ability to tear up a windy road and deliver a good time at the track. The M5 has remained true to its DNA since the very beginning and will never disappoint as being the practical daily driver that doubles as a fun sports car for more spirited driving.
The BMW F10 M5 was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show with the first models hitting showroom floors later that fall. The F10 is unique and iconic in its own right for being the first turbocharged M5 model as well as being mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The revolutionary F10 is powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine that delivers 553 horsepower with 502 pound-feet of torque, capable of going from 0 to 60 in just four seconds with a top speed of 190 mph. While the numbers prove that the F10 is a super-fast grocery getter, it appears a bit bland on the outside; but that’s where the aftermarket comes in.
The BMW F10 M5 boasts a sleek four-door sedan design that attracts enthusiasts while still blending in with other cars on the road. Some, however, would like to stand out a little more and set their vehicle apart from the rest with some personalized mods. Luckily, BMWs are known for their “modability” and the automotive aftermarket houses a virtually endless array of products to make your M5 more “you.” Our customer, Radi Slantchev (IG: @F10_m5ntal), chose to amp up the exterior with Vivid Racing’s very own Aero DTM Style Carbon Fiber Hood. Radi tells us that his 2016 BMW F10 M5 is a DME stage 4 full bolt-on car. He also says that it’s currently the fastest stock block FBO BMW F10 M5 in North America – did 171.58 mph in the standing half-mile.
The Vivid Racing DTM style vented carbon fiber food helps with heat extracting while adding an elevated look to your BMW M5. The hood is crafted from a top-grade 2×2 carbon fiber weave that is then finished in a glossy clear coat for the ultimate luster. Its underside is a durable FRP construction that retains all of the M5’s factory hardware for an OEM-type finish. The vents also feature subtle mesh inserts in silver. The hood can be installed on any BMW F10 chassis in the raw carbon fiber style or painted to match your vehicle. This hood fits all F10 vehicles including the 528, 535, 550, and M5 from 2011-2017. If you are looking for a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing hood to help keep your car running optimally, look no further than the VR aero hood.
