number "507" became legendary for history BMW already many years ago. If it is more precise, then from 1956, when engineer Albrecht graf Gertts (Albrecht Graf Goertz) created automobile dream - rodster BMW 507. Se ffb godnya, almost 50 years later, number "507" again has the magic value: at this time this imposing value of the power of the new engine BMW V10. this engine is established on the latter BMW "M5" - the automobile, which gives to driver always exactly that the fact that the driver expects, pressing to the support the pedal of gas.

Concept of sport sedan, excellently realized at firm BMW, was usovershenstvovana by the tyuningovoy company AC Schnitzer. For example, engineers AC Schnitzer changed the exhaust system of automobile. The system, made completely made of the stainless steel, obtained the double sport rear muffler and the pair of, exhaust pipes in the sport spirit identical, with the chrome-plated finishing.

Transformation of one pipe into two gave BMW M5 considerably more powerful and more sonorous voice than in its standard twins. At the same time, the flow of exhaust gases is optimized, and system with the low resistance helps engine to return more than forces to the rotation of wheels. Very exhaust choke tubes - the development, intended is exclusive for BMW of a series "M" - sedan M5 and sleeping compartment M6.

Only, that was not assumed the interference even magicians of tyuninga - the experienced engineers AC Schnitzer, this is engine. Powerful and effective V10 remained unchanged even after the serious processing of undercarriage. The dynamic properties of automobile was further developed with the aid of the assembly of suspension, installed in company AC Schnitzer. The body of automobile became lower by 25 mm, respectively was lowered the center of gravity of automobile, which must play its positive role in the behavior of automobile on the road. The set of the shortened springs makes it possible more energetically to move in the turnings without the loss of the comfort, so tsenimogo into the business sedan.

BMW M5 can be equipped with racing wheels in different combinations of light-alloy disks and low-profile tires Continental or Michelin. Schnitzer recommends for BMW the 19- one inch disks of models Type III and THE IV. Does not prohibit the use of larger disks up to the 21- inch. All wheels in Schnitzer have an interesting partial polishing and a varnishing, which leads to the effect of the decrease of weight, with the retention of the maximum of diameter and width of wheel. The weight of front 20- one inch wheel with disk Type OF THE IV dimensionality of 9..0Zh x 20"and tires 245/35 R 20 is 10 kg, and rear, wider, 10.8 kilograms.

Most interesting detail of the external underweight BMW are the carbonaceous dividers, which are reliably attached to the bumper with the chrome-plated aluminum cross connections. This rare solution not only gives to sport sedan the form of racing bolide, but also improves tightening force on the front axle. The new chrome-plated radiator grill naturally satisfies the high demands on cooling of engine V10. at the same time, this makes it possible BMW M5 to appear similar on retro bmw, which once mails?..' telсo they called by "sharks".

Aerodynamic underweight of the back of automobile shows off by two spoilers, on the roof and on the baggage carrier and by diffuser deriving air from under the bottoms of automobile. Here where the present magic, when invisible to eye airflow envelops the body of automobile and being encountered with the spoilers presses by strong embraces, hides itself, automobile to the surface they are expensive. With entire weighed out carbon and by plastic Schnitzer it runs the air flow "for" the stability of automobile, and its appearance harmonizes with its sport ambitions.

Interior also abounds with carbonaceous inserts, aluminum on the pedals and pride AC Schnitzer - by sport three-spoked control with the required pillow of safety. New design of aluminum control knob of system "i -Drive" in the same style as the design of wheel disks - one additional original prime in the final appearance of the interior of "five" BMW.
