i really hope the F10 M5 is capable of being a car that can be modded past 1000hp. The American cars have been doing it wayy to easily lately (Z06, older Vipers, Mustangs...) and its kind of embarassing that there arent any BMW M cars getting up that high in horsepower minus the ridiculously priced HPF M3's

The engine is not where efforts need to be in terms of tuning the M5. The efforts need to be placed on better enabling the current power to get to the ground.

My question would be as to the possibility of increased displacement. Brabus, for example, and others have used boring/stroking as a means of extracting large amount of power from their engines.
Do you imagine reaching a threshold where only more displacement will deliver enough power? As for the undertaking itself, you already know what I think ![]() Amazing!!! ![]()

There are obviously tire and suspension mods available that are more biased towards optimum traction than the stock M5 setup. The stock tires are a compromise between traction, noise, longevity, rolling resistance etc. Just changing the tires to a softer compound/semi slicks will give better traction (but a short lifespan on the tires...). Anyway, amazing project. Best of luck! |

In our latest update, we can share a rendered drawing of the AMS catted downpipes!
Once again CAD proves to be an invaluable tool, helping the engineers at AMS position the downpipes within the engine bay before a single bead of weld is laid. This allows us to create the most generously sized downpipes with the smoother possible bends, resulting in the best possible exhaust flow. The catalytic converters used in this application are ultra high flow race cats, which have been proven to offer plenty of exhaust flow well after the 900 horsepower mark. In testing a less than 1% reduction in horsepower was found when compared to a catless downpipe, on a car making a bit over 900 wheel horsepower. A catless option will be offered as well, with our first prototypes being tested on our own IND F10 M5 in less than one month. ![]()

We will develop a software fix for the high flow and catless downpipes with ESS Tuning, that will be integrated into their performance software package. Preliminary testing of this software will occur in several weeks once the prototype downpipes are completed for our own F10 M5 project. I believe the best way to check cross compatibility will be to test each piece individually. While the engines are very similar in their general architecture, they share very few parts from BMW. It is not possible to guarantee cross compatibility without trying the parts directly.

We will work with ESS to develop software specifically tailored to AMS hardware packages. In developing our F10 M5 project our goal was to partner with the best possible companies, to allow for the best possible M5. We feel that by putting all of the right people in the roles where they are most capable, we will be able to offer an excellent performance package for our clients.

Will the AMS F10 M5 parts (such as downpipes) also work with the M6, or are there slight structural platform differences - perhaps crossmembers or the like - that would require different pieces?
Love the CAD work!
