▀▄ eas | Brand New M5 Gets The EAS Treatment

For a lot people, taking delivery of their brand new BMW from the dealership would probably one of the highlights of their life. However, there are some people who know exactly how they want their car modified before they even get a chance to drive it. So was the case with this brand new Black Sapphire Metallic M5. Arriving at our shop on the back of a BMW dealership's delivery truck, this beautiful F10 got an EAS makeover with only 9 miles on the odometer.

As is a priority with many M5s that come through our doors, this F10 required an exhaust worthy of the 560hp V8 under the hood: the Akrapovic Evolution titanium exhaust system. While this car came equipped with the 601M competition style wheels, the owner asked that we swap them with the standard 343M style wheels and a set of Macht Schnell wheel spacers. The exterior received several upgrades such as the RKP carbon fiber lip, the RKP carbon fiber diffuser, the BMW Performance carbon fiber spoiler, a set of IND carbon fiber mirrors and the ever popular IND painted cosmetic package. A black stainless steel "Powered by M" license plate frame and an M-engraved set of black aluminum BMWPedals give the finishing touches to this sleek M5. Now, it's finally ready to be driven and enjoyed.

Modifications
Akrapovic Evolution Titanium Exhaust System (With Carbon Fiber Tips)
BMW Performance Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler
BMW "Powered By M" Stainless Steel Black License Plate Frame
BMWPedals Aluminum Pedal Set
IND Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers
IND Painted Cosmetic Package
Macht Schnell Competition Wheel Spacers (12mm Front, 10mm Rear)
RKP Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler
RKP Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser

looks super clean. I love the carbon fiber parts, only bad thing, you cannot really noticed them because the car is black, that's WHY I HAVE not put carbon fiber parts on my m5 since it is black

Man I was just thinking that would have been a great opportunity to weigh both the 343's and the 601's at the same time. Doh!

Looks great - I'm guessing that you didn't take a video comparing the CP sports exhaust against the akra? What were your thoughts as to how different these sounded?
