Exhaust

AC Schnitzer exhaust system in Racing design

The M5 is improved by AC Schnitzer in the area of the exhaust system. The newly developed double sports rear silencer made completely from stainless steel and finished with the equally new chromed tailpipe trims in "Sports Trim" or "Racing" design, gives the M5 a far more powerful and sonorous voice than its standard brother.

Brakes

To achieve good deceleration values, development of a braking system was essential. On the front axle this takes the uncompromising form of an 8-pot fixed caliper with standard brake disks in (Ø 374 mm) and with 36 mm thickness. The equipment level also includes 8 special brake pads.

Performance Upgrades

Engine tuning and performance upgrades have a long tradition at AC Schnitzer. To be on the safe side however, we prefer not to extract the maximum possible power but instead ensure greater robustness, which means a longer life of the engine. Many of our diesel performance upgrades are therefore designed for an increase in torque rather than an increase in horsepower. Because torque is what you feel when for example you're "pressed back in the seat" on pulling away.
