You'll Either Love or Hate What This Tuner Did to the BMW M5
Despite the illuminated kidney grille, the new G90-generation BMW M5 boasts understated beauty with a subtle hint of aggressiveness. Just like its long-roof Touring version, the clean lines and aero kits of the sedan aren't offensive, and despite the hefty weight it now carries, the electrified powertrain has brought the midsize M Bimmer to supercar territory in terms of power output: 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, coming from a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid setup.
But in case subtlety isn't your thing, Mansory has just introduced a loud and screaming version of the BMW M5, with restraint thrown out the window. Even better, it has been given a power bump through the German tuner's P850 uptune offering.
As the name implies, Mansory's P850 tune brings the overall output of the BMW M5 to 850 metric ponies, or 838 hp and 848 lb-ft on this side of the pond. These are huge jumps from the standard 717 hp and 738 lb-ft torque, which allow a 0-60 mph sprint in just 3.4 seconds. Mansory hasn't disclosed any performance figures, but we'd expect it to be close to three seconds flat for the century sprint.
Details on how the final P850 figures were achieved weren't disclosed, but the S68 engine has likely been given the extra oomph, with the electric motors kept intact. In stock tune, the V8 powerplant churns out 577 hp and 553 lb-ft. Meanwhile, the electric motor is rated at 194 hp and 207 lb-ft.
Apart from the engine tune, Mansory's BMW M5 also gets a sports exhaust with a triple exit at the back. The engine block is covered with a glossy carbon fiber material, but as with most things from the infamous brand, the exterior gets the wildest makeover.
BMW has its own set of M Performance Parts for the new M5, but Mansory's recipe consists of outlandish elements. These include forged carbon fiber parts, orange pinstriping, and illuminated elements all over the super sedan. These are found on the hood, grille, front lip, front and rear air intakes/outlets, winglets, mirror caps, side skirts, C-pillar, fender, rear diffuser, and roof and decklid spoiler.
The company also throws in a set of 22-inch glossy black forged wheels for good measure, matched with orange brake calipers. Bonus points for those who can spot the unusually positioned illuminated Mansory logos.
Inside, the company didn't provide any details for the package, but options are available, including standard Mansory things like floor mats, custom upholstery, starlight headliner, and illuminated scuff plates.
Mansory didn't announce the pricing for its BMW M5 package, but given the heft of upgrades, including the uptune and extensive use of expensive carbon fiber elements, expect eye-popping numbers to add on to your near-$120,000 super sedan.

Audi weighs $4.6B US plant to placate Trump, avoid tariffs: report
German automaker Audi is reportedly considering plans to build a factory in the US to placate President Trimp and skirt tariffs on foreign imports. The luxury brand is weighing whether to build a plant in the southern US, one of the more expensive options out of a number of scenarios being considered, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported on Friday. Audi estimated the cost of building a new factory in the US could reach up to $4.6 billion, according to the report. Advertisement Audi is reportedly considering plans to build a factory in the US. AP A spokesperson for Audi, which is owned by Volkswagen Group, said the company is considering various options when it comes to expanding its presence in the US. 'We are confident that we will make a decision this year in consultation with the [Volkswagen] group on how this will look in concrete terms,' the spokesperson said. Trump's 25% tax on foreign cars and auto parts has already hit German carmakers hard. Advertisement In April alone, they incurred additional costs of more than $500 million in their export business to the US, according to estimates from Germany's auto industry lobby group. While Audi currently has no production sites in the US, Volkswagen has a plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., and a facility under construction in Columbia, SC. Meanwhile, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen are in talks with the White House on a potential import tariff deal – hoping to use their investments in the US as leverage for lowering rates, sources told Reuters. Advertisement President Trump announces steep tariff rates alongside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick during a press conference in April. REUTERS Mercedes-Benz in May announced that it is moving production of its GLC SUV – the company's second best-seller – to the US. BMW has also discussed adding shifts and boosting output at its South Carolina plant to ease pressure from Trump. Advertisement Several other major automakers have taken steps to ramp up US manufacturing since Trump has taken office. Jeep owner Stellantis announced plans to reopen its shuttered Illinois plant, while Honda is looking to shift production of the Civic from Japan to the US. With Post wires

A Third, Larger Tesla Model Y Variant Could Debut This Year
We've been waiting a long time for more affordable Teslas, but it seems that the automaker is now looking in the opposite direction. The low-cost Model Y has been delayed, but according to a post on X, Tesla may be on the verge of launching a new variant with more luxurious seating for adults. According to the tweet posted by hacking engineer @greentheonly, a six-seater Model Y has been revealed in firmware, and the code hints that it may be offered globally, not just in China. The Model Y's 2025.20 update references the six-seater, and with Chinese buyers prioritizing rear legroom, it's no wonder that rumors of such a vehicle have been circulating for a while. Since the code was found in a domestic Model Y, it may not be exclusive to China, so if it comes here, what can we expect? The prevalent theory is that the wheelbase will be extended to accommodate captain's chairs in the middle row, and possibly by as much as 5.9 inches. As Not A Tesla App points out, a 2+2+2 layout would not only be logical, but would also provide reasonable room in the third row. Since the Model X doesn't get armrests with its six-seater configuration, it's unlikely that the cheaper Model Y will, although the option will add thousands to the $46,000 base price. The 2+2+2 layout would allow Tesla to fit a center console in the second row, which should further enhance the feeling of luxury, but will buyers be willing to shell out extra for a car that looks almost identical from the outside? That remains to be seen, but Tesla may begin to border on oversaturation of the model if there aren't enough differences. A seven-seater Model Y is also on the way with an almost useless third row (at least for the average adult), and one can't help but wonder if these new seating layouts are a lackluster attempt at boosting sales of a car that was once the best-selling on the planet but is now seeing a decline in popularity. Until we see the new Model Y variants later this year (assuming the self-imposed timeline is adhered to), we can't pass fair judgment.
