After weeks of speculation and eager anticipation, Australian BMW aficionados finally have confirmation on pricing, features, and availability directly from a BMW factory-owned dealership.
For those in the know, the Competition package elevates the M5 experience, and now Australian customers can join the fray.

- Competition-Specific Exhaust Tuning: Drawing inspiration from the latest M3 Competition package, the M5 Competition features unique exhaust tuning.
