AC Schnitzer has dialed up the power on the BMW M5, giving it more grunt than a McLaren 765LT—without going over the top. Discover how this refined upgrade blends stealthy aggression with 799bhp of raw performance.

Ac schnitzer bmw m5 799bhp upgrade 1AC Schnitzer has done it again—quietly but confidently taking the already ferocious BMW M5 to new heights.

Known for its tasteful tuning and performance-first ethos, the German aftermarket specialist now offers a new package for the G90 M5 saloon and G99 M5 Touring.

And while it might not scream “look at me,” make no mistake—this stealthy beast now delivers more power than a McLaren 765LT. Yes, really.

Let’s dive into what makes this power-packed upgrade so special—and why BMW fans should be paying close attention.

Power That Speaks Softly… and Carries a Huge V8

The heart of this upgrade lies under the hood. AC Schnitzer has massaged BMW’s 4.4-litre twin-turbo hybrid V8 to produce a staggering 799bhp, up from the already potent 727bhp. That’s a 72-horsepower jump—enough to rival the likes of McLaren’s 765LT.

Aggressive Looks, Refined Execution

To match the newfound muscle, AC Schnitzer has fitted the M5 with a sharper, more aerodynamic body kit that’s equal parts bold and functional.

  • Striking front canards that add downforce and drama
  • A prominent rear wing for high-speed stability
  • 110mm stainless steel exhaust pipes that enhance the M5’s soundtrack
  • Revised suspension, lowering the car by 20mm for a more planted stance
  • AC6 lightweight forged alloy wheels with intricate detailing

Fair warning: those alloys look stunning, but even the faintest touch of a kerb might make your wallet wince.

Subtle Cabin Enhancements

Inside, AC Schnitzer keeps things classy with just the right touch of custom flair:

  • Machined aluminium pedals and footrest
  • A redesigned iDrive controller
  • Exclusive interior badging to remind you this isn’t your average M5

It’s a clean, motorsport-inspired upgrade that aligns with Schnitzer’s reputation for refinement without excess.

Price and Availability

Pricing details haven’t been released just yet, as the full package is still in development. However, prospective buyers should be ready to shell out around £111,000 for the base M5 saloon, or roughly £113,000 for the more practical Touring variant—before any AC Schnitzer enhancements.
