BMW M5 Competition: DTE Systems achieves a new performance peak with over 700 hp

That is how engine tuning by DTE Systems can develop a new power

The BMW M5 Competition is the new extra-powerful version of the already powerful M5 sport sedan. The 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 in the M5 Competition generates 25 hp compared to the standard M5. The maximum torque of 553 ft lbs is the same for both models. The M5 Competition’s stock performance of 625 hp represent a decisive advantage over its all-time competitor – the Mercedes E63S with 612 hp. Now, this distance is increased significantly using the performance upgrade by DTE Systems: The chip tuning PowerControl RX and the gas pedal tuning PedalBox Pro improve the Competition’s performance to 706 hp and 656 ft lbs. These performance values can command great respect among other competitors like Aston Martin DB 11 (608 hp) or Lamborghini Huracán (640 hp).
