BMW has introduced its fastest car, the M5 CS. The M5 CS is 100 kg lighter than the BMW M5 Competition model.

Inside, the seats are made of carbon fiber in a combination of black and red, and the rear two seats are separated by a small center console. The steering wheel is Alcantara. On all seats there is a silhouette of the Nurburgring race track.

Gold and carbon details can be seen on the outside, and this design in BMW is called Gold Bronze. It is present around the radiator grille, as well as on various markings and a set of special 20-inch rims. Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) was used for the bonnet containing the vents, as well as for the front splitter, rear diffuser, rear spoiler and side mirrors.

CS branding is found on the seats, door sills and dashboard. A 12.3-inch infotainment system screen is available.

This super car comes with a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that develops 635 hp. The engine is paired with an eight-speed transmission and xDrive all-wheel drive.

After the BMW X3 M, the German company Manhart tuned another BMW car. It is a BMW MHX5 800 model based on the X5 M generation. The BMW MHX5 800 is a rival to the Audi RS Q8 that was introduced early last year.

The MHX5 800 features a number of looks and performance improvements. New stainless steel exhaust system with valve control function with four 100 mm exhaust pipes that can be finished in carbon or ceramic coatings.

The new 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine has a larger cooler and new software. The engine develops 823 hp and 797 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive.

Since the base model accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.8 seconds, the MHX5 800 is expected to be faster because Manhart did not disclose that figure.

The new SUV has 22-inch wheels. Thanks to the suspension modifications, it is 30 mm lower.

German tuner AC Schnitzer presented the traditional “police car” as part of the “Tune It! Safe!” campaign. It is a tuned BMW M850i.

Since 2005, the German Car Tuner Association has launched a campaign to show that touring cars can be safe. AC Schnitzer has introduced a touring “police car” based on the BMW 8 Series Coupe with M850i specifications.

Modifications start with a Foliatec full-body wrap in police colors, and there are blue lights on the roof and in the front bumper. There is even a police radio inside. The focus is of course on tuning, and this car has been significantly modified. These modifications range from a body kit to an improved exhaust system with four end carbon tubes.

AC Schnitzer lowered the high-performance coupe with new springs. The car also got new 21-inch matte wheels. The body is made of carbon fiber, the interior features aluminum details such as pedals, footrests, gear shift paddles, as well as details around the infotainment system.

The 4.4-liter V8 engine that develops 523 hp and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque has been tuned, so its power has now been increased to 618 hp and 627 lb-ft (840 Nm) of torque. This makes it 5 hp weaker compared to the M8 Competition.

There is no more information about the performance yet. The standard M8 Competition Coupe is known to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just over 3 seconds before reaching a top speed of 190 mph.
