As a BMW M5 F10 owner, we can verify, confirm, put the stamp on, and triple thumbs up that his is hands down the best BMW M car ever built. The V8 twin turbo power plant and upgraded transmission drives amazing compared to the raw dog V10 E60 M5. But instead of just looking like the rest of the crowd, you got to spice up your ride by adding 3 necessary parts as soon as you get your car off the dealer lot. First, a stock exhaust is always weak. You bought a sports sedan, lets hear a sports sound. So we equipped this machine with a Meisterschaft exhaust just like the one installed on our Project F10 M5 seen driving here. Next is something called the fist theory. If you can put your fist between the tire and fender, you dont want to bring it home. Lower is better unless your out in the wilderness. But this is not called Vivid Romping. So to keep the amazing electronically controlled suspension, we just added a set of H&R lowering springs to give it that perfect stance and improved handling. Whats nice about the H&R springs is they feel really comfortable for daily driving and don’t give you that back jarring feeling that other springs do.
Finally, stock wheels, they got to go. No matter how much of a upgrade they were, they are no good. One of the premier wheel partners of Vivid Racing is HRE Wheels. Their extremely high end 3 piece forged wheels have set the #industrystandard in aftermarket wheels. And hey, they actually make them start to finish themselves! Their S101 is one of the newer styles with a bit of concavity, machined pockets, and a split design that has become very popular. The 21×9.5 fronts and 21×11 have been wrapped in a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires. Featuring a 265/30/21 up front and a meaty 295/25/21 in the rear. The brushed tinted clear finish with polished lip is a perfect match for the OEM silver body color.
