Only 50 will be made so even if you had the money it'd be tough to get one.
Those
who were itching to write a check for an exclusive $130,000 BMW were
left disappointed when it was announced that all 700 units of the magical water-injected
M4 GTS were sold out. Thankfully BMW still wants fans to write it
checks, so it put its M Division engineers back to work to cook up the
hottest “high performance business sedan” to appease wealthy buyers who
enjoy bragging about their cars over cigars. Dubbed the Pure Metal
Silver Limited Edition, the car is based on the M5 sedan.
In
this special guise, the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 gets a 40
horsepower and 16 lb-ft of torque boost over its standard sibling to
yield 600 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This unit sits in front of
a seven-speed M transmission with two clutches enabling the transfer of
kinetic energy. BMW estimates that the power boost will get the lardy
sedan from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds, 0.1 seconds quicker than the
everyman M5. If the driver doesn’t relent, this M5 will keep on
rampaging up to 190 mph, an increase of 35 mph over the normal M5’s top
speed thanks to the M Driver’s Package that comes standard on this
special edition. Also included in the price premium is an enhanced
version of the M Competition package for track days.
