Say goodbye to the Competition package and say hello to the Competition; the popular optional bundles for BMW’s M cars have become their own model now. This change starts with the 2019 M5Competition, which will be available this summer and adds an extra scoop of power and sportiness to the already highly capable regular model. The Competition model will cost $110,995, a $7400 increase over the base price of the standard 2018 M5.

The twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine gets a small bump from the base M5’s 600 horsepower to 617. The power peak also changes, from 5700 to 6600 rpm in the lesser car to exactly 6000 rpm in the Competition. Maximum torque remains at 553 lb-ft and is available from 1800 rpm all the way until 5860 rpm, an increase of 160 revs at the high end. The result, BMW says, is a zero-to-60-mph time that drops by 0.1 second to 3.1 seconds; however, the regular car hit 60 mph in a shocking 2.8 seconds in our testing, so BMW’s time is likely very conservative.
