I wonder: Will the 600 HP and 700 NM Power and Torque Upgrade be available as an option on regular M5 cars in the future? (after this special edition is all sold out)

If so, then when?

They won't offer it as an option for non-30 Year Edition M5's. That would make the 30 Year Edition less special.

Could you clone the ECU from the 30 Year Edition? It's like straight from the factory tune for regular M5's.

Excellent

What Forum?...anymore news on this.I have ordered one, understand all 300 were slated for a july build, so dealer reckoned mid august. Problem with that being reg no change on 1st Sept so don't really want it before then anyway, pointless for the sake of a couple of weeks.
Would like to see anymore pics though, so hopefully some will be floating about soon.
Gone for all options on mine, carbon brakes/akrapovic exhaust/B&O sound etc , should be a real beast. Bought it to replace a Ferrari FF, interior on the FF was wanting, my other car is a well specd 5 series, which I found so much nicer to be in than the Ferrari, so will be happy with the interior & gizmos, but it will be interesting to see how close it gets performance wise & more importantly sound wise, the V12 FF sounded pretty epic!

sounds odd

Really?...is that fact or supersition?, I understood that the whole 300 units was a july production ,which would make more sense to do them all in one go, especially for such a small run, why would they take 4 months tomake 300 cars?. Might take a while for the US to get theirs as obviously shipping takes a while

It's information based on PDF documents for this edition. I have no idea why 300 cars take such amount of time, you need to consider the regular M5 on production line as well. I don't know how many cars per day they can do AFAIK guys from US have their cars produced and probably in process of shipping as well. So it looks like US + UK were first in line for the edition.

It could be a marketing factor, the cars hit the market in the period of a couple of months, so it's free publicity about something NEW from BMW worldwide. I have no idea

I sure would prefer all 300 to be built in July, yet im scheduled for ~Late August/September

An overdose of stitching, personally don't like it. Was expecting more visual differences.

Interesting variant this is.

Although it would've been nice if BMW released this thing in BLACK exterior, Black Interior with BMW Piano Black trim as well Black-colored OEM 343M wheels (because I don't like seven-spoke wheels like those 601M rims)

BarryB you're the man. I tried to order one and called too late. So then I tried to order a 2015 Individual frozen dark silver and they turned me down.
Be sure to post some pics!
