Supercar in a Suit: 2014 BMW M5 Competition Package Gets Driven
If you’re looking at buying a new BMW M5, and you’ve got an extra $7,300 that is begging to be spent, the Competition Package is worth your consideration. For starters, it ups the BMW M5’s horsepower ante to 575. That’s a lot of dosh for 15 more under-hood stallions, but the package also offers a plethora of improvements like a more direct steering ratio, tweaks to the M Dynamic Mode, and a reworked suspension that is 0.4 inches lower. The Competition Package earns its merits as a package; not as a single option, but when the tires hit the road, does it really make $7,300-worth of a difference? Find out in the Motor Trend video below.
