Mansory Does Its (Wild Carbon Fibre) Thing With G90 BMW M5

Mansory is no stranger to turning heads and causing controversy, and its latest take on the G90 BMW M5 does just this. The German tuner has now taken the already bold super sedan and dialled everything up to eleven.

The stock G90 M5 already splits opinion with its design, but Mansory has gone all in with a wild body kit. The most obvious change is around the back, where the traditional quad-exhaust layout has been replaced by a centre-mounted triple-exit setup that looks like it belongs on a concept car. It’s surrounded by an aggressive diffuser with three vertical fins on either side, just in case anyone needed more confirmation that this is no ordinary M5.

Up front, things get just as dramatic. A vented bonnet with a prominent carbon fibre bulge dominates the view, while Mansory’s signature illuminated badges are everywhere, from the fenders and grille to the Hofmeister kink and even the charging port. The 22-inch black forged wheels add to the visual drama, contrasting sharply with copper-coloured brake callipers. That same copper hue also shows up under the bonnet, decorating the custom engine cover for the twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8.

And speaking of power, Mansory didn’t stop with just the visuals. The plug-in hybrid S68 powertrain now churns out 625 kW and 1 150 N.m of torque, a solid bump over the standard M5’s 535 kW and 1 000 N.m. That should shave time off the already-quick 0–100 km/h sprint of 3.5 seconds, though exact performance figures haven’t been shared.

There’s no word yet on suspension or chassis tweaks, but Mansory hinted that more changes could be on the way. So for now, expect it to drive a lot like a stock M5, just louder and a lot more noticeable. Inside, things are just as over-the-top. The cabin gets a black and orange leather treatment, bespoke floor mats, and sporty pedal covers, all part of the tuner’s usual interior overhaul.
