^E90 M5? You mean E9x M3? or were you talking about the E60 M5?

The rear has grown on me a lot, but the E39 M5 will always be my favorite 5-series. I literally wouldn't change a damn thing about its looks (aside from tint) unless I got REALLY bored with it. The E60 M5 headlights and front end just look off.... the stock wheels are great though.

Post 2012 G-Power BMW M5 Hurricane RRs

Press release...

G-POWER delivers a M5 HURRICANE for the 100th time – the Jubilee Model M5 HURRICANE RRs with 830 hp – the most powerful version in the world

After the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RR with twin-supercharger engine and 800 hp/588 kW has set a new High-Speed record with 372 km/h in 2010, improving the old G-POWER record from 2008, the demand for this power sedan with supercharged V10 engine just exploded. So, today already the 100th G-POWER HURRICANE is leaving the G-POWER workshop in Autenzell as a jubilee model with an additional 30 hp output increase.

G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RRs

• 800 hp / 588 kW at 7.500 r/min (+ 293 hp / 215 kW)
• 780 Nm at 6.500 r/min (+ 260 Nm)
• Top speed: 372 km/h
• 0-100 km/h: 4,3s
• 0-200 km/h: 9,1s
• 0-100 km/h: 25,2s
• G-POWER Bi-Kompressor system SK III RRs „Sporty Drive“
• G-POWER 20´´ SILVERSTONE DIAMOND wheels
• G-POWER coilover suspension GM5-RS
• G-POWER brake system for front and rear axle

This light blue G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RRs is equipped with a reworked version of the high-revving V10 engine modified by G-POWER and supercharged by a BI-Kompressor „Sporty Drive“ system. Therefore the two superchargers named ASA T1-313 have been replaced by larger ASA T1-316 units. They are both driven by a belt and do provide each cylinder bank with supercharged air. Further down the line the pre-compressed air from the superchargers is cooled for a maximum power output. A complicated aluminium casting - painted in G-POWER orange - replaces the standard air box on top of the engine, and its direct inlet is responsible for the spontaneous response characteristics which give the G-POWER motor its incomparable response and also much more torque.

The inner workings of the 10-cylinder, four-valve engine are optimised by light, precisely balanced MAHLE high-performance forged pistons with lower compression and increased mechanical strength. As the standard connecting rods and piston pins were equally not up to the considerably increased forces, here too, recourse was had to special parts. The switch to an Alpha-N engine management system and hence the elimination of the air mass sensors also contributes to the increased power output of 830 hp / 610 kW, available between 7,500 and 8,000 rpm. The engine delivers its peak of torque of 780 Nm at 6,500 rpm.

Of course the periphery of the engine, especially the exhaust system and the fuel supply system, needs to be modified as well in order to match with the new requirements. A G-POWER SPEEDFLOW exhaust system with two racing catalysts minimizes the exhaust backpressure and a G-POWER stainless steel rear muffler with DEEPTONE technology and 4 x 83 mm tail pipes featuring the M-Design completes the exhaust system of the M5 HURRICANE RRs. The capacity of the fuel supply system is upgraded with fuel injectors with enlarged mass flow and the use of an additional high performance fuel pump. An electronic control unit designed by G-POWER enables the additional third fuel pump to operated boost related. This set up guaranties and reliable fuel supply under all conditions.

Prepared like this the G-POWER HURRICANE RRs does not only set new performance standards for top speed. With an acceleration of just 4.3 seconds from standstill to 100 km/h, 9.1 seconds from standstill to 200 km/h and 25,2 seconds from standstill to 300 km/h the two-ton sedan is also leading his class.

Two tons of weight and a top speed of more than 370 km/h naturally require extreme demands on the tires, being fitted on special G-POWER wheels. Our technology partner Michelin provided high-performance Pilot Sport tires in the dimensions 255/35 ZR 19 at the front axle and 305/30 ZR 19 at the rear axle for this reason. For every day use the G-POWER HURRICANE RRs runs on 20-inch SILVERSTONE DIAMOND wheels with the dimensions 255/35 ZR 20 and 285/30 ZR 20 front and rear.

Even more contributions to the HURRICANE RRs’s high-speed talents are coming from a height-adjustable G-POWER RS coilover suspension that is adjustable for both compression and rebound in nine settings and the high-performance G-POWER brake system with up to six brake pistons and up to 396 mm brake disc diameter for the front axle and 380 mm for the rear axle. The G-POWER brake system enables a substantially higher brake force than the standard brake system. At the same time, the heat generated due to the braking process can be dissipated more effectively. The G-POWER brake package is completed by brake pads with a larger pad area, higher friction rate as well as metal-coated brake lines. With this set-up, the G-POWER Braking System always provides maximum brake force and the braking point remains precise in any case. Of course, G-POWER customers are provided with the choice of rotor material: both steel brake discs and ceramic alternatives (which are about 50% lighter for significantly improved cornering and road handling) are available.

The cost for the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RRs components start with 1.861,00 € for the G-POWER coilover suspension GM5-RS. Followed by 4.673,00 € for the 20``G-POWER SILVERSTONE DIAMOND wheel set incl. MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport tyres in the dimension 255/35 ZR 20 and 285/30 ZR 20, and 6.466,00 € (Ceramic version 14.460,00 €) for the G-POWER brake system for the front axle and 4.785,00 Euro (Ceramic version 11.788,00 €) for the rear axle. The output increase with the help of the G-POWER SK III RRs „SPORTY DRIVE“ supercharger system for the BMW M5 E60 / E61 and M6 E63 / E64 is listed with 57.000,00 € plus the installation in the G-POWER price list.

Since the company’s founding in 1983, it has focused solely on the tuning of BMW cars and the production of exclusive, handcrafted vehicles. In 2008, G-POWER was integrated into Group ASA, a year in which both brands celebrated their 25th anniversary. G-POWER is now one of the few globally active and highly reputable suppliers of exclusive cars. In cooperation with development partner ASA, G-POWER has developed unique versions of BMW’s most important models, and the world's most powerful versions of each, which clearly sets us apart from our competitors. G-POWER holds five world records:

- Fastest BMW sedan with 730hp G-POWER M5 HURRICANE and a top speed of 360 km/h
- Fastest LPG-powered car with the 660hp G-POWER M5 HURRCANE GS and a top speed of 333 km/h
- Fastest Sedan with the 750hp G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RS on the ATP high-speed oval in Papenburg with a measured top speed of 367.4 km/h. G-POWER exceeded its own record with the 800hp G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RR with a top speed of 372 km/h
- Fastest 4-seater coupe with the 750 hp G-POWER M6 HURRCANE CS and a top speed of 370 km/h
- Fastest SUV with the 750hp G-POWER M5 Touring HURRCANE RS and a top speed of over 360 km/h (governed)

Press release...

It is not the first time that G-POWER is improving its own record. Already in 2010 a G-POWER M5 HURRICANE (sedan) improved its record of 367,4 km/h for the world’s fastest sedan, established two years before, to 372,1 km/h.

Currently the modified Bi-Kompressor system for the BMW M5/M6 E6X series – featuring the legendary high–rev V10 engine – enables the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RR Touring to a new top speed of 362 km/h, making it in spite of the electronically limitation to the fastest station wagon in the world. Of course the G-POWER HURRICANE RR Touring sets new performance standards not just for top speed. With sprint times of less than 4.4 seconds from standstill to 100 km/h, 9.5 seconds to 200 km/h and 25,6 seconds to 300 km/h the two-ton station wagon is at the head of the pack in these categories as well.
But that’s not all. Next to the spectacular power output enhancement for the 5.0l V10 BMW engine to impressive 820 hp/790 Nm, the price for the G-POWER M5/M6 V10 Bi-Kompressor system during the “GP Edition 30 Years” promotion might be a surprise, too. With the „GP Edition 30 Years“ special edition, the ticket to the world of G-POWER M5/M6 V10 supercharger systems starts as low as € 7.300,-- excl. VAT. With this basic system, the customer receives - next to the power output enhancement from 507 hp to 560 hp – a high-quality supercharger system that is being serially produced in large quantities and which can be customized with several options accordingly to the individual needs of the customer. The G-POWER Mono-Kompressor system, based on a single ASA T1-724 supercharger, is available in 600 hp, 620 hp, 640 hp and last but not least 700 hp configurations, as well. Still the maximum power output enhancement of 820 hp is reserved for the G-POWER Bi-Kompressor system – based on two ASA T1-316 superchargers- that has been reduced in price for the “GP Edition 30 Years” promotion, too.

The secret behind the unrivalled price of the G-POWER supercharger systems is founded in constant evolution process of the system that allows in its current state use of state-of-the-art production processes and that fore the methods of serial production. The supercharger mounting plates for the two powerful ASA T1-316 superchargers and the complete air ducting, for example, are made from lightweight cast aluminium. Based on the world wide unique serial production of aftermarket supercharger systems with large numbers, along with the experience gained from more than 150 installed M3 V10 Bi-Kompressor systems after its introduction 6 years ago and the continuously product development, it is possible to constantly offer high level quality at this unrivalled low price.

But now back to the technical highlights of the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RR Touring. A two-tonne vehicle weight and a top speed of 362 km/h (limited) set extreme demands on the tyres, which is why the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RR Touring runs on 20-inch G-POWER SILVERSTONE RS wheels with MICHELIN Pilot Sport tyres measuring 255/35 ZR 20 and 285/30 ZR 20. Handling is also enhanced by the G-POWER G5-RS coil-over suspension with nine-way adjustability for compression and rebound plus infinitely variable height adjustment. A further factor contributing to the high-speed capabilities of the HURRICANE RR Touring is the G-POWER brake system front and rear. With a disc diameter of 396 mm on the front and 380 mm on the rear, combined with 6 and 4-pot callipers respectively, deceleration forces upwards of 1g are perfectly conceivable. Also worthy of consideration is the optional G-POWER ceramic brake set, which delivers a reduction in unsprung masses of around 50%.

The G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RR Touring does not only set benchmarks in performance, but also when it comes to individuality and exclusivity. The interior of the M5 Touring, upholstered by G-POWER in premium leather and Alcantara offers impressive confirmation of what is possible above and beyond “BMW Individual” equipment. The painstaking work carried out by hand by G-POWER craftsmen goes far beyond simply upholstering virtually every surface with the finest grades of leather and Alcantara. In contrast to many leather workshops, G-POWER takes the time to reshape the original BMW seat cushions.

Only thanks to this unique technology can the distinctive look created by G-POWER be achieved in combination with an optimum synthesis of comfort and lateral grip.

The visual highlight of the G-POWER full leather upholstery is the perfectly executed stitching covering almost every surface, like for example the front seats, rear seats and the door panels – even the floor mats and the trunk cover has been made from premium leather and covered with stitching. G-POWER logos in the front seats and the headlining set tasteful accents in this sophisticated composition of Carbon, leather and Alcantara.
The modification of the M5 HURRICANE RR Touring interior by G-POWER is completed by an exclusive multimedia entertainment system that leaves nothing to be desired. Next to a powerful audio system, electric powered iPads in the rear of the front seats, a lowerable main monitor from the headlining and an Apple iMac incl. Apple TV enable leisure time or productive work according to the desires of the car’s owner. The special highlight of the G-POWER multimedia entertainment system is the centered control of each component, like for example the interior lights or all electrical powered elements (iPads, main monitor and Carbon folding tables) through the G-POWER app, exclusively developed for this purpose.
