WINTERLINGEN, Germany — Lumma Design, which earlier breathed some additional fire into the BMW M6, has turned back to the high-performance BMW M5 sedan, further enhancing the car's already frisky performance while dressing up its exterior.
The new Lumma CLR 500 RS sedan is a companion piece to the tuning house's CLR 600 coupe. Modifications to the car's 5.0-liter V10 engine, including a reprogrammed ECU and a high-performance exhaust system, has boosted output to 560 horsepower, enabling a top speed of 199 mph.
Lumma has fitted 21-inch wheels and low-profile Yokohama rubber, including 255/30R21s in front and 295/25R21s in the rear.
The upgraded suspension features bits from Eibach and H&R, and the entire car has been lowered 1.6 inches in the process.
The aero body kit includes front and rear aprons, flared fenders and side skirts, plus a carbon-fiber roof, hood and deck lid.
What this means to you: Save your money. The stock M5 is darn good enough.
