Along with the 4 Series and X5, which had their media launch this past week in Seattle and Vancouver, BMW also brought out the 2014 5 535d (with LCI refresh) and the 2014 M5 with competition package for us to check out. Here are some on-location photos of the 535d M Sport and M5 Competition (this M5 does not wear the Competition Package wheels which come with the package).
The
535d is new for the US market for the 2014 model year. A 3.0-liter twinpower turbo diesel outputs 255 horsepower and a peak torque of 413 lb-ft, while getting 38 MPG.
The
2014 M5 does not see a power bump, but more power is available through the
Competition Package, which adds 15 horsepower, along with a host of steering, suspension and handling upgrades. Also included is a sportier exhaust system with black chrome tips (
view sample video) and new 20" wheels. For more details of the Competition Package, please see the links below.
