Used 2020 BMW M5 Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
Since it is a unique vehicle in itself, there aren't many trims from which to choose. The standard M5 comes with potent performance equipment, starting with the turbocharged V8 engine (600 hp, 553 lb-ft of torque). But if that's not enough, you can upgrade to the M5 Competition, which carries 17 extra horsepower. Both versions come with an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Which M5 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The long list of included features makes the standard M5 the one to get. Normally pricey options such as adaptive LED headlights, ambient interior lighting and a head-up display are only some of the upscale amenities that won't cost extra. Plus you have all the important performance bits, from the quick transmission to an adaptive suspension for sharper response in the corners.
