YouTuber’s BMW M5 F10 is a Savage, 1,000 HP Monster

Tuned and modded to perfection, this BMW M5 is the fastest in England. Watch this beautiful beast in action. 

Watching this video by YouTube channel Living Life Fast, it is almost unfathomable to think that the BMW M5 F10 had it’s detractors. In his latest video, host Ricky gets an opportunity to ride at near hyperspeed in an impeccably tuned competition M5 F10, and it is jaw dropping.

The owner of the car is Tommy, and first we get a tour of his car, with Tommy providing a lot of information about all the upgrades and why he chose each. The car is actually Tommy’s daily driver (along with a 1966 Mustang) so it is not only race ready, it has been modded to meet his everyday needs. Not that he needs 1000 BHP day-to-day, but Tommy certainly makes the most of it. He’s taken this car out on the track and won numerous races, from Best Quarter Mile to U.K.’s fastest 100-200 km. Once he shows off the car, you can see why.

The car has undergone very purposeful modifications, aiming for maximum performance, power, and velocity. The wheels are lightweight, with drag radials added. Under the hood, Tommy has added methanol injection, Pure Turbo Stage 2 hybrid upgrades, CSF racing radiator, upright driveshaft, custom clutch, custom exhaust manifold, and more. The interior also includes nice race-ready upgrades, including the custom steering wheel.

But how does this baby perform on the road? Ricky is just blown away, saying in an awestruck voice, “Wow….” Every time Tommy accelerates, you can see Ricky’s reaction, and it sounds heavenly.

Ricky points out that this is probably the fastest cars he’s been in, but it doesn’t feel like it. It grips beautifully, feels solid, and delivers a smooth experience for driver and passenger alike. Tommy agrees. “It’s nice, innit?” A bit of an understatement, but yes. Ricky finally gets to take the wheel, and is surprised how it feels like a stock BMW M5 to drive, while performing like an utter beast.

The video is a lot of fun to watch, the guys chat is very interesting both on and off the road. Check it out, and let us know what you think of this exceptionally tuned M5.
