The F10 BMW M5 Is The Best Car For Every Situation | 2014 BMW M5 Competition Dinan Stage 2 Review

How is it possible for one car to be loud, fast, quiet, comfortable, and premium all at the same time?! Come along as we take a look at the car and then take it out for some launch control demonstrations and fly-bys!
The F10 BMW M5 changed the game when it came out. The old E60 M5 had a V10 and single-clutch SMG transmission. The new for 2013 F10 M5 was now equipped with a Hot-V Twin turbo V8 with 460 horsepower a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This particular car was a 'competition package' car which increased power to 475 horsepower among other handling goodies. On top of that, the owner of this car has installed the stage 2 kit from renowned BMW aftermarket supplier Dinan. That means this car is now producing somewhere north of 700hp! All of that in a package that is sleek and discreet for all of your low-key go fast needs.
Check it out!

I have a moded stage 2+ tune F10 M5, and this is why I got it. It does everything WELL! I've raced a heavily moded 800whp hellcat and we were side by side for those asking how they compare. Oh, btw those fans run after shutdown all the time, even on a trip down the street!! Lol

The F10M5 Is stock with 620 hp, with a simple flash tune, it is 700 hp. You can pick one up for mid 30s now. When you can accelerate at 120 km an hour, and spin the wheels, It is intoxicating. Well people say it’s a big car, that’s because Theyve never driven it. I had the Dinan stroker M3, With 527 hp… And the F 10 just walks away from it. It is an amazing piece of kit. And I love it

Don’t modify the car, do proper and regular maintenance… and this car will last without any issues.

[@vafan13]

For straight-line traction one is much better off in Comfort suspension as it will maximize weight transfer. The best launches I've done have simply been to punch the throttle to ~80%, modulate, and then go WOT as soon as it shifts to 2nd.

No, no side badges detection. Tell them to distinguish the car 200 feet away. Look at the car that far and tell me if its a regular 5 or an M, simple. Thats a real car guy!

[@ajw828]

11:23 Wow, I thought this was Mexico the whole time! What are your thoughts on this compared to the Hellcat? Obviously a lot of similarities and a lot of differences...

[@ElliottAlvis]

A.J. W. Tough call on that, it’s obviously more comparable to the Charger Hellcat, but this is better in almost every way. But it’s different enough that I doubt many people are cross shopping them.

I'm shocked you were not impressed with the powered trunk and found it pointless. You love things auto with electronic moving parts :)

[@ElliottAlvis]

You’re right! It is pretty inconsistent with my love of movable body work. I just always want to reach up and shut a trunk and forget that some of them are electric close like this one. And the car gets pissed if you manually close it.

[@thelast1378]

*the M5 F10 is the last car that would be ''the best'' for ''every situation'', this beautiful monster has 560hp and 650nm at 1250rpm? all RWD, so basically allday traction issues, you would not be able to go on winter sport with this car, its heavy and its a boat with to much power on the rear wheels, and i fucking love it*

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Hot hot is the oil in a “regular” car?

[@ElliottAlvis]

Mitchell Barnow “regular” car oil should be about the same temp as performance car oil. The difference is that most regular cars don’t get pushed in the same ways, and they can’t cool themselves back off as efficiently.

My '13 doesn't do that.

[@yiyangcheng]

This or CTS-V? Decisions decisions lol

[@ElliottAlvis]

yiyangcheng tough call on that! This one might win just because of the dual-clutch transmission for me though.

[@yiyangcheng]

Elliott Alvis I think one thing to consider is one is OHV and the other one is DOHC. Now we’ll just have to see CT5-V blackening just because it has a manual V8

[@ElliottAlvis]

yiyangcheng it’ll be exciting to see how that turns out. This car was available in manual as well, but they are super rare.

[@yiyangcheng]

Elliott Alvis and then now BMWs are adding AWD to their M cars so that’s even more Sophisticated

[@ElliottAlvis]

yiyangcheng yes, but I’ve driven the new all wheel drive M5 and it’s just as good as this car but with grip. This car is spinning the tires at anything below 65mph

[@sesh3508]

Road trip that I dare you to

[@canadiankrispybacon1450]

The placement of those turbos has been a disastrous design decision for BMW, well more so, the customer who is outta warranty ...the heat that is generated has been a nightmare for BMW owners...having to replace the valve stem seals...and though the heat was not entirely the reason...BMW telling customers to go 15k between oil changes, the heat was a significant contributing factor. Those rubber seals...$30 ...replacement $4,000.00 I was so close to getting a 750i as you can get a 2012-2013...$120K car for $15K ...however finding one that doesn’t throw a smoke screen on start up, is quite a different story.

[@jameswade9077]

What was the repair price??

[@hockeyhelps3910]

Don’t you hate it when people won’t give an answer back as important as your question was. I don’t believe the OP. On a budget you need a computer that can interface with the car. It will tell you where to look. You do have to learn the software. It could be distributor cap, wires, coil, maybe an injector. Just don’t buy cheap parts and learn to wrench if you don’t already. I’m close to buying an M5, the most dangerous one. If the car is still there Wednesday I’m gonna buy it. I’ll remember this thread and keep you updated if I buy, best I can do.

[@joetz1]

So you guys disagree with all the journalists who thought this car was a piece of shit?

[@ElliottAlvis]

joetz1 most of the journalists thought that the E60 was a piece of junk, the F10 has been pretty well loved from what I’ve seen.

[@joetz1]

Elliott Alvis for different reasons. The E60 was too half baked with the crude and unreliable transmission. The F10 M5 is an extremely numb car to drive with zero steering feel and a numb chassis. I drove one and absolutely hated it. One of the most disappointing cars I have ever driven. The comp package is supposed to have revised steering for better feel so maybe that’s a little better.

joetz1 maybe that’s the case. This is the only F10 I’ve driven. The steering is heavily assisted but I wouldn’t call it numb.

[@jj-tq4hx]

My Gran Turismo video game synthetic car noises sounds better than this M5 F10. The augmented sound through the speakers sounds terrible. Definitely not the same as the screaming V10 E60.😆

True, but it sounds better in person than you’d think. Especially for an early version of synthetic engine sound.
