▀▄ eas | Exhaust, Springs, Lip & Diffuser for an Imperial Blue M5

The latest M5 to roll out of our shop was this beautiful, brand new Imperial Blue F10 M5.

The first modification on the list for this car was the full titanium Akrapovic Evolution exhaust featuring carbon fiber tips. Gaining 10 hp/12.5 lb-ft tq and shedding a total of 27lbs, the Akrapovic Evolution also manages to provide a the proper exhaust note that the M5 deserves. Surrounding the newly installed exhaust is a complete carbon fiber rear diffuser system comprised of the RKP outer and Challenge inner pieces. To complete this M5's carbon fiber transformation we installed RKP's front lip spoiler. The result is a sportier looking, sounding and performing M5 that fully maintains the comfort and ride of the OEM car.

Modifications
Akrapovic Evolution Titanium Exhaust System
Challenge Carbon Fiber Rear Center Diffuser
H&R Sport Lowering Spring
RKP Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler
RKP Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser

Great looking car.

IMO, carbon fibre trim and exhaust tips look better on a color that offers more contrast(MCB,SO,AW, etc), especially if you are keeping side & front grills in stainless.

Did you consider painting F/R valences in body color?

Agreed. Very clean and classy. Nice car. Plate has got to go. Completely bastardizes the whole look.

Super clean. I still haven't seen an F10 M5 in Imperial blue in person yet.

Looks good, with the exception of the front license plate.
