Can the BMW 5 F90 2018 Be Tuned?
The 2018 BMW M5 F90, with its 4.4L twin-turbo V8, is a tuning enthusiast's dream. Its robust ECU responds impressively to tuning upgrades. A Stage 1 ECU tune alone can increase output by about 10-20%, taking horsepower close to 660 and torque to around 825 Nm. This results in a notable reduction in quarter-mile and 0-60 times. For a Stage 2 tune, adding a high-flow downpipe and upgraded air intake optimizes performance further, offering a 20-35% power increase. Expect power figures around 720 horsepower and sub-3 second 0-60 times. While these modifications significantly enhance performance, maintaining engine reliability is crucial. Regular service intervals should be strictly followed, and quality components are a must. Overall, the F90 offers remarkable tuning potential, transforming it into a supercar slayer while maintaining daily driving comfort.
