The F10 BMW 5-Series is that particular model that imposes respect and aggressivity, but in a good sense, as Vossen Wheels really knows its business.

Fitted with the M Sport aero kit and a set of new wheels, this gorgeous model really deserve some respect, just by admiring its presence on the roads.

The tinted wheels perfectly match the Vossen VFS-1 wheels, finished in Carbon Graphite, while the lowering springs provide the model with even a greater stance.

Under the hood, the M Sport Package also comes with a power upgrade, but unfortunately, the tuner hasn’t yet revealed the performance numbers.

The standard F10 BMW 5-Series however comes with a 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline flat-six, with 300 horsepower, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds, via an eight-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission, with the Sport and Manual shift modes and the Adaptive Transmission Control.

As usual, Vossen Wheels tuner has also added a photo gallery with their latest project, enjoy and don’t be a stranger!

So you can understand my excitement when I learned that Vorsteiner is preparing an M-Tech kit for the F10 BMW 5 Series.

The kit will be presented at this year’s SEMA show in Las Vegas, and this is just another reason that you should be excited about the build. But when I saw what they plan, I couldn’t help but feel a bit let down. The M-Tech kit will feature carbon fiber parts, made using a pre-preg method.

These parts include a new front splitter, rear diffuser and a trunk lid spoiler. While not much, these do change the overall look of the F10 BMW 5 Series, and while I did expect more, I was ok with that. Unfortunately, i then learned they plan to charge $1095, $895 and $695 for each piece, respectively. Is that an ok price for such little improvement?

Since the upgrade is basically just a power boost, the video also just deals with the simple numbers.

Normally, an F10 BMW 520d is good for around 184 Hp and 380 Nm of torque, which is not really that bad. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. And with the Hartge ECU kit, the 520d is taken up to 218 Hp and 450 Nm of torque. This is basically the kind of power developed by the BMW 525d version.

So why not just buy the 525d instead of fiddling with the lower model? The most compelling argument resides in the prices for the option. With the Hartge kit, you’d have to fork out €1.266, while the difference in price between the two models is closer to €4.200.
