a beast made of carbon: new G90 M5, M Performance Parts unveiled

just over a month after the debut of the new G90 M5 and G99 M5 Touring, the official accessories to unleash their latent beastliness have been unveiled : BMW M5 M Performance Parts. Considered a must-have for BMW M owners from the factory, M Performance Parts serve to dramatize the car’s sporty design while maintaining its pure unity, and the parts for the new M5 don’t disappoint.

an even more aggressive aerodynamic design

the new M Performance parts make aggressive use of carbon fiber to achieve both light weight and visual appeal, and the G90 M5 in Speed Yellow shows that carbon parts can work with darker shades as well as brighter colors.

list of featured carbon parts

• M Performance Front Splitter: Fits underneath the massive air intake to create a lower, more aggressive front end. however, due to the design, we’d be wary of garage interference in daily driving.
• M Performance Side Skirts: Similar to the G80 M3, this more aggressive design emphasizes the side lines. Unlike the F90 M5, they are now mounted inside the body, reducing the risk of scratching the underside on inclines and the like.
• M Performance Rear Diffuser: This is the most significant change to the rear of the car, with a design that wraps around the sides of the bumper to clearly define the car’s high-performance character.
• M Performance Rear Spoiler: While not as radical as the other parts, it inherits the shape of the traditional BMW carbon spoiler to balance the design.
• other parts: includes carbon mirror caps, M Performance exhaust tips in a mix of titanium and carbon, side decals, and more. M Performance lightweight forged wheels will be available in summer 2025.

pricing and terms of purchase: Styling program and estimated costs

One of the biggest reasons to consider purchasing M Performance parts is the ‘Style Up’ program, which offers an attractive 30% discount if the parts are purchased within three months of the vehicle’s delivery. This makes the genuine parts more competitive with overseas handmade or aftermarket products.

while official domestic pricing for each part has not yet been released, we can get a rough idea of the cost using the vehicle configurator on the BMW of America website. starting at a base vehicle price of $119,500, adding the M Carbon Appearance Package ($3,100), carbon ceramic brakes ($8,500), and more brings the price up to about $132,475. add to that the as-yet-unpriced front splitter, rear diffuser, and other full parts, and the final price will easily top $140,000.

conclusion: The M is in M Performance

the new G90 M5 makes a strong statement on its own, but the M Performance parts are the icing on the cake. More than just a dress-up, they offer functional value in the form of improved aerodynamics and weight savings, completing the M experience. it’s a pricey proposition, but one that’s hard to resist for owners looking for total integration and design perfection.
