The tuner`s latest creation is the all-new 2018 5-Series, in both the sedan and the estate variants, the model receiving an exclusive body kit and some extra power under the hood. The tuner`s fine-work is also highlighted in the video below.

As we can see in the video, the car`s look has been enhanced by carbon fiber components around the front and rear spoilers, adding as well new side skirts and rear diffuser insert.

The specialists have also created components that separate the models. The sedan for instance, is available with a special rear roof spoiler and rear spoiler, as well as a carbon racing rear wing, while the estate can also be had with a custom rear roof wing which reduces drag and increases downforce. Both variants are also fitted with AC lightweight wheels.

As for the performance under the hood, the technicians from AC Schnitzer have also added some new tweaks that increase the power. We are looking here at the tuner`s ECU remapping with sound module with remote control, which increases the power of the 540i from 340 horsepower to 400 horsepower. On the other hand, the 530d is capable of 315 horsepower, quite nice from the stock 265 horsepower. All other variants (M550i, 530i or 520d) come with similar output as the latter presented.

You can find out more details in the video below released by AC Schnitzer tuning company!

This company is called Japan Skipper and it’s starting to get pretty hard to figure out where it’s based at or where it’s originating from.

All jokes aside, the Japanese tuner came up with a pretty acceptable package for one of our favorite cars. There really is nothing to give it away.

It’s not really a riced up, overly exaggerated-trinket-loaded machine that would actually create the perfect scenario for some bad jokes.

It’s also not a completely murdered out vehicle that would be of any use to, erm, associations such as the Yakuza and whoever their rivals competitors might be.

In fact, this particular 5 Series Japan Skipper tuned wouldn’t be fitting for any criminal organization. While it comes with the M Sport package, the engine isn’t the biggest one around.

Being based of the F10 BMW 523i, it comes with power from a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine which burns gasoline to the tune of 185 horsepower.

Given the new enormous, forged alloy wheels and the Nitto tires it was fitted with, we’d assume this Bavarian blooded sedan was actually developed for going very slow.

Going fast is a cliche and the Japanese don’t really bill themselves as major fans of high speed runs. That is unless of course you own a tuned car.

Which isn’t what a 5 Series from Japan Skipper is, it’s more of a tweaked machine, really.

Since then, they’ve been really busy, churning out lots and lots of projects of which we’re unfortunately not that interested given that most of them are not BMW products.

This one is however, and it’s quite the lovable model, the one we all know as the F11 BMW 5 Series Touring. Take care as I’m about to say something unusual for me.

I hope this is a diesel powered version of the F11. I mean, the Touring version of the 5 Series is so practical and sensible it’s almost a shame not to have it in 535d guise.

It literally has everything the average user might want. There’s not many cars out there that can satisfy a whole family’s needs and not feel like a dreary box on wheels.

Before this particular model got to the hands of the German wrap specialist, it was fitted with a new body kit that’s reminiscent of the M package.

A similar note is found within the multi-spoke alloy wheels. We can finally talk about the wrap and the redesigned looks.

The German car maker takes great pride in calling the new appearance Cherry Red, which is difficult to get your head round to.

The option to go for a matte finish really throws the color shade off the game. Thankfully, some brushed metallic bits bring out the highlights of the car.

Obviously, the first is the F10 BMW 5 Series. The second needs a bit of an explanation since it’s the guys at Strasse Forged.

The third, the photographer, is pretty much mandatory regardless of the sort of tuning or industry launch we’re dealing with.

In this case he gets some special attention. We don’t know who he is, but he did make some brave choices with the lighting and it has paid off.

Thus we can enjoy the new set of wheels fitted to the handsome Bavarian sedan in, if you’ll pardon the expression, a new light.

Aside from getting a different look at the shapes of the newest of 5 Series models, the low colorful light setup really helps the Strasse Forged wheels shine (sorry again).

They are Strasse Forged SM7 concave wheels featuring a three-piece lightweight construction. These are built to aerospace standards.

The chrome lips and silver inner barrels really help bring out the white paint of the F10 BMW 5 Series as well as the pretty colors of your local night club.

Fans of actual figures will likely want to know about the 20×9 inches dimensions for the front and 20×10.5 inches for the rear.

No mention was made as to what suspension this particular 5er is running and it’s a fair suspicion to think that the standard setup is not employed.

In today’s piece we’ll be looking at one of their widebody setups, one that’s custom tailored around the previous gen 5 Series.

As usual with such conversions, there have been replacements made to the front and rear bumpers, the front fenders are wider and there are rear wheel arch extensions.

So what makes this version of a wide body 5 Series stand out from the crowd? That’s a tricky one, if you’re standing in a crowd of 5 Series wide body kits.

Even so, the Prior Design widebody for the E60 toots its own horn with build quality. Apart from being assembled like a… well, BMW, it is made with top notch materials.

The core material used in this car is something described by the German tuner as high quality Dura-Flex FRP. We’re guessing it’s some sort of clever plastic.

Wouldn’t want to go too much into the details as speaking to a German who can pronounce something like that would probably be suicide by boredom.

Prior Design’s wide body kit also receives a vented bonnet, complete with power dome and M3 hints all around and a new boot lid spoiler.

It’s a discrete one, just in case somebody doesn’t spot the body kit setup you used.

Frankly, there is a bit of a chance of that happening since the paint finish chosen here is very business like and the alloy wheels though they are black, they seem restrained.

Naturally, I had to pay attention when a couple of custom car aficionados decided to take an F10 BMW 5 Series and give it some retro coloring.

I will accept that it’s not the one look that everybody agrees with but the I really believe the finished product has something SEMA about itself.

Diamond Black Exteriors are the guys behind this product and I’m suddenly a fan. Not only did they get the colors right (in my mind), they managed to silence a few critics.

All those guys who keep on describing the F10 as a humorless machine because of its well defined presence and its rather sober exterior look can now shut up.

No photocopier sales king would have a purple F10 5 Series and not even plenty of tuning fans be proud of the way their new car is purple. I like that.

Moving on, there are a few tweaks to consider alongside the new purple wrap. The grey and black accents do keep a tad of balance on the look.

A set of Concavo CW-S5 20 inch wheels are thrown into the mix alongside an ECU remap, a new exhaust system and a sports suspension setup.

It’s pretty clear that I love it, what about you guys? Are you on board with a little bit of flash in an otherwise mundane situation?

It’s mostly gone, every major makeover these days is not something the owner of a car talks about but something that hits the internet before its made.

Thankfully, there are still plenty of companies out there that let their customers stand out by themselves. If you don’t want anybody to know about it or you want to tell them yourself, you need to give these guys a look around the shop.

The German customization specialist churns out a new car almost every week but they hardly ever send out press releases.

Take this E60 5 Series tweak, wouldn’t it have been worth our attention? It doesn’t have a simple look and no performance tweaks and it is still important.

This is because the look of the E60 5 Series, probably one of the less impressive looking sedans ever to come from Bavaria is enhanced aesthetically.

New blingy alloy wheels distract from the rather un-proportioned profile. The front and rear bumper is now more of a flaming surface than Bangle ever intended.

There are some bad points though. For instance the owner tried to push the M6 badges on the side air vents. The quad exhausts would have been enough for my liking.

The same applies to the boot lid. Why ruin everything by fitting a huge M badge on something that isn’t from the special ops?

That would certainly fit the bill for the G-Power E60 BMW 5 Series. Then again, let’s remind ourselves that we live in the real world.

Cars live for much longer than usual here and if that’s the case, why not make your own stand out… or maybe outperform the newest model?

The German tuner has proven time and time again that there’s plenty of technology they have at their disposal to do so. Somehow, that’s not the case.

Whatever the person that contracted the E60 5 Series with G-Power didn’t bother with the performance aspects. The only thing that may help is the custom exhaust system.

Some would say the new wheel and tire setup would help the situation but that’s not always the case so let’s not focus on that aspect for now.

The best you can get from that equation is the fact that the amount of un-sprung mass has been considerably reduced.

Of all the changes in this condition, the most important ones of the lot is the removal of the electronic speed limiter.

Unless you get some of the more powerful versions of the E60 5 Series, that might not be the most important bit you can get as most will hardly hit 150.

Really, your best option is to enjoy the styling tweaks G-Power blesses you with and try not to notice the asking price for the conversion.

Even so, I reckon the F10 BMW 5 Series’ special package still seems tailored for itself rather than adapted from a different mix altogether.

I claim it to be a special styling package but the Asian company claims it to be a genuine aerodynamic package that has genuine functionality.

There’s a new front bumper, side skirt, rear bumpers with custom design and they’re all extended by an actually functional component.

A new apron, a new diffuser and a small spoiler for the trunk lid, all work together to make the 5 Series Black Bison stick to the road at high speed.

Speaking of which, the high speed we’re talking about is the same as the one the standard versions of the BMW 5 Series since there’s no added performance coming from Wald International.

All the Japanese company adds is a set of re-positioned exhausts which do little but re-arrange the sound and final position of the exhaust tips.

Final tweaks from Wald International come in the form of set of new air vents, custom alloy wheels and some newly appointed LED daytime lights.

There’s a wide variety of available alloy wheels but most of them come in with a very special multi-spoke design.

Interior details are rather limited but Black Bison offers a sport steering wheel and carbon-fiber trim together with some other custom choices.

The first one needs to be somewhat restrained and grown up. Even if you want it to tickle certain parts on sight, she still needs to raise your children and you have to introduce her to your family.

The mistress on the other hand can be as young and wild as you want (or is legally acceptable) or as kinky as anyone of your friends can imagine.

I wonder though, can’t the mistress be a different flavor rather than just the extreme alternative the child inside you always wanted?

That’s the point of this F10 BMW 5 Series with a slight bit of customizing. This isn’t a G-Power million horsepower sex swing. It’s the girl next door.

She has the Double D 4.4 liter V8 engine, she has the twin-turbo thighs and she’s even got the well proportioned body that looks drop dead gorgeous in a little black dress.

The only thing different once the Forgiato Wheels go on is that she’s wearing some jaw dropping high heels to go along with the rest of the party.

The new colors found on the headlights, roof and rear wing can be the tasteful jewelry she keeps for special occasions.

Everything goes well. The best part about subtle tuning like this is that looking at this F10 BMW 550i with its custom wheels you can’t help but wonder one thing.

Is she wearing some provocative underwear underneath this exterior look that simply oozes sex appeal.
