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 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.
While torque figures and 0–62 mph times haven’t been officially updated, the stock M5 delivers a hefty 737 lb-ft and sprints to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds. With this boost, expect even more urgency under your right foot.
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.
AC Schnitzer’s latest BMW M5 upgrade proves that true performance doesn’t need to shout.
With nearly 800bhp on tap, a motorsport-inspired aero package, and subtle interior tweaks, this is the tuner’s answer to anyone who wants supercar-level power with executive-class discretion.
