Hot on the heels of the new M5 Touring s debut, BMW is providing a first official look at the G99 with M Performance Parts. This sole image will have to make do for now but we re certain a full gallery will follow shortly. The G90 Sedan decked out with extra M goodies also initially appeared in a single photo before full details were released by the German luxury brand.
As with the regular M5, the more practical body style can be optionally had with a bunch of carbon fiber body parts. Perhaps the most striking is the front splitter with a two-section layout. The side sill extensions also stand out, making an already wide car look even more imposing. We can t see the back in full just yet, but the carbon side plates hint at a modified rear section.
The side decals in Frozen Black are not necessarily our cup of tea but BMW reckons some buyers will opt for the matte-look stickers. These are sturdy enough to withstand commercial car washes, or so the Munich-based automaker claims. Those two-tone wheels are not an upgrade from the M Performance Parts catalog. Instead, there s the optional 952 M alloys. For the sedan, BMW has promised to launch M Performance light-alloy wheels next summer. Chances are these will also be available for the wagon, too.
What else? Perhaps we can expect a carbon rear spoiler and a fuel tank cap made from the same lightweight material. If the G90 is any indication, the G99 could also have an aramid shark fin antenna. Don t go looking for a carbon roof because BMW told us it won t be available, therefore echoing the smaller M3 Touring.
Inside, there should be even more M Performance Parts. On the M5 Sedan, you can opt for a set of floor mats with decorative stitching. M-branded tire bags and a Nappa leather-wrapped key case are likely planned as well. On the G90, these accessories are available from day one. Perhaps it’ll be the same story for the G99’s extra items.
