Vorsteiner: Custom M5 (based on BMW M5) news

Press release...

While the original BMW M5 was released over a quarter of a century ago, it has maintained its status as the original four door supercar through the years, and it is never more apparent than with today's model. Although the F10 M5 comes straight from the factory with a fairly aggressive appearance, Vorsteiner recognizes the need for a truely graceful and yet aggressive shape while maintaining the original lines and design cues. Today, that need is fulfilled.

Vorsteiner is pleased to announce their new carbon fiber aerodynamic program for the BMW F10 M5. As always, only the highest possible quality and materials were used, along with the most modern technology and production methods available. This has resulted in a complete selection of aerodynamic products for the M5, as befitting a world-class sports sedan.

The Vorsteiner BMW F10 M5 program includes:
- Carbon Fiber Pre-Preg Add-on Front Spoiler
- Carbon Fiber Pre-Preg Add-On Rear Diffuser
- Carbon Fiber Pre-Preg Add-On Boot Lid Spoiler
- 21 inch VS-190 Forged Monoblock Wheels

All pieces are produced with an eye for innovation and style, as well as true aerodynamic aid. Each part is modeled using a 3D scanner for exact accuracy and perfect fit. Pre-production sections are wind tested and formed for minimum drag coefficient and maximum effective downforce, reducing lift at the front axle. Every individual segment is specifically formed to both enhance appearance and yet seamlessly mesh into the existing bodywork.

Our autoclaved Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber structure gives our parts superior stiffness, aerospace strength & durability compared to traditional hand laid carbon fiber composites. Vorsteiner's trademark vacuum forming process enables superior rigidity and durability, while special UV-inhibiting clear lacquer coating protects the parts and keeps them looking fresh for the life of the car.
The Vorsteiner BMW F10 M5 aerodynamic solution package is available as a complete set or as individual components. See your preferred Vorsteiner provider for more details.

You are taking the wrong approach. All season tires will not flex and you will be able to unleash all that HP and Torque.
