Mansory Fat-Shames BMW M5 Into A Carbon Fiber Weight Gain Plan

When it comes to the latest generation of the BMW M5, two things quickly became clear: it’s fast, and it’s heavy. Mansory, however, decided to take a swing at both of those with their latest tuning package for the hybrid M5, offering performance tweaks and their typical flamboyant visual overhaul.

First, let’s talk about the exterior, where the carbon fiber hood with integrated vents get all the attention. Not to be outdone, Mansory also slapped a more aggressive splitter and intake garnish on the front bumper, both crafted from (you guessed it) carbon fiber.

The side profile isn’t left behind either, with the addition of carbon fiber side gills, sharper side skirts, and mirror caps to match. For those who enjoy the brand’s flair for the dramatic, Mansory has also added its signature shields to the front fenders, which almost seem to channel Ferrari’s design language.

At the back, the M5 gets a rear diffuser so massive it might as well come with its own zip code. Three tailpipes sit front-and-center, proudly showing off the sport exhaust system. And yes, there are spoilers – what’s an M5 sedan without a roof spoiler and a lip spoiler? Mansory also decided that the reflectors needed some extra attention, adding carbon fiber trim that makes them look like vents.

Lightweight? Sure.

Moving on to the “weight-saving” measures, Mansory introduces a new set of “ultra-light” 22-inch forged wheels with a multi-spoke design. As for the actual weight difference compared to the stock wheels? Mansory didn’t provide any details, but we don’t expect it to make a huge difference on the 5,390 lb (2,445 kg) curb weight of the M5. Still, it’s a nice touch if you enjoy pretending your car feels lighter than it really is.

Now, for the good stuff. Mansory didn’t mess around with the electric motor but instead focuses on the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8. As a result, the power output has been bumped up to a rather impressive 838 hp (625 kW / 850 PS) and 1,150 Nm (848 lb-ft) of torque. That’s a solid 121 hp (90 kW) and 150 Nm (110 lb-ft) more than the stock M5, which should make a noticeable difference on the road. And, because you can never have enough carbon fiber, the engine cover has received some too, alongside Mansory’s branding.

No word yet on any changes to the chassis, though. Mansory teased “much more to come,” which means we might see some suspension tweaks or other modifications later, but for now, the M5’s handling is presumably the same as before.

As for the interior, Mansory has done its usual thing: black and orange leather upholstery, custom floor mats, and sporty pedal covers.

While Mansory has already made the M5 more… Mansory, BMW is quietly working on its own plans for the hybrid model. Expect a facelift as part of the Neue Klasse in 2027, but until then, the current model is open for aftermarket fun.
