The car
The F10 M5 brought turbocharging to BMW’s high-performance sedan. Sold from the 2013 model year, it replaced the E60’s V10 with a 4.4-liter V8 whose two twin-scroll turbochargers sit, with the catalytic converters, in the space between the cylinder banks, fed through a cross-bank exhaust manifold. It was the first BMW M engine with VALVETRONIC variable valve control, and BMW put its fuel consumption at about 30 percent below the V10 car’s.
Drive goes to the rear wheels only, through an Active M Differential and a seven-speed M DCT with Drivelogic or a six-speed manual that BMW offered in North America at no extra cost. Dynamic Damper Control, M-specific Servotronic steering, six-piston fixed brake calipers and 19-inch wheels are standard, the rev limiter sits at 7,200 rpm, and top speed is limited to 155 mph.
The all-wheel-drive successor is listed as M5 (F90), and the M6 (F12 / F13 / F06) shares this car’s drivetrain.
Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and takes it from 560 hp and 502 lb-ft to 730 hp and 710 lb-ft on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 is calibrated for supporting bolt-on modifications and high-octane fuel, for 760 hp and 750 lb-ft. The gearbox has its own controller and torque limits, so the optional TCU tune raises them to match, with sharper shifts and stronger clutch clamping.

Our online catalog lists Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes for 2013–2017 BMW M5 (F10) models. Choose your year at the top of the page; the figures and prices are the same for every year.
Count the driven wheels and the gears. The F10 is rear-wheel drive, with a seven-speed dual-clutch or a six-speed manual, while the F90 has M xDrive all-wheel drive with a 2WD mode and an eight-speed automatic with a torque converter. The F90 is listed on its own page, M5 (F90).
Yes, in North America. BMW confirmed a six-speed manual for the 2013 M5 and offered it at no extra cost in place of the seven-speed M DCT. Both versions have the same twin-turbo V8 and drive the rear wheels through the Active M Differential.
Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and runs on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 pairs the calibration with supporting bolt-on modifications such as downpipes and runs on high-octane fuel. On a 2017 car, Stage 1 takes it from 560 hp to 730 hp. Stage 2 takes it to 760 hp.
A TCU tune is available as an add-on ($1,999). It raises the transmission’s torque limits and sharpens the shifts so the gearbox can handle the extra power. Ship your TCU in the same box as your ECU.
