Default Lumma Design's 560HP CLR M5

The BMW M5 is a hairy beast in stock trim, so when a tuner gets a hold of one we can expect the wow factor to go through the roof. This is the CLR 500 R-S, a heavily modified M5 done by the German tuning house Lumma Design. They've taken a base M5 and fitted it with giant 21-inch wheels, a wide-body kit and menacing diffusers in the back that have actually been wind-tunnel tested. The car has also been lowered a full 40mm on an H&R sport suspension. In order to back up the show with some go, Lumma has added a racing exhaust and high-flow catalytic converters, along with an ECU upgrade to coordinate the increased airflow. Power from BMW's V10 has in turn been increased to 560 hp, good enough to reportedly break the 200 mph barrier. The interior has also been gussied up with matching orange leather trim, orange dials in the gauge pod and a new Lumma-designed steering wheel made from anodized aluminum. We're actually crushing on the CLR's two-tone paint job, as it highlights the very interesting lines of the 5-Series. There's no word on how much it will cost you to turn your M5 into a CLR 500 R-S, but as we've said in the past, if you have to ask...

Paint the whole thing black and I'd like it a lot more.

I've always hoped for an M5 power upgrade but this thing is just plain hideous on every conceivable level -- well at least for me. I don't like it at all

I dont know what yall seeing, but the design is anything but ugly.....the only thing thats ugly is the color. like someone said, if it was all black it would insane.

That looks 10x better than the winged and bulged crap that Hamman throws on BMW vehicles.

I like it somehow, but only in a normal colour.

I really think that diffuser is an F430's, but i'm too lazy to compare. It just looks all too familiar.

Indeed, the "shark fins" seems taken from the F430, but the exhaust is different form the Ferrari.

As much as I love orange cars, I think this car would be better suited in black like previously stated. I will hold on my decision of whether or not I like it when I see a black one.
