This week on Ignition, Carlos Lago tests the BMW M5… again! This time around it has something called the Competition Package, which adds a host of small adjustments and improvements in an effort to improve the car’s performance and the satisfaction it gives to its driver. Is more power and a recalibration of the suspension and steering enough to make this incredible sedan behave? We find out on the test track at Hyundai’s Proving Grounds.

Along with the 4 Series and X5, which had their media launch this past week in Seattle and Vancouver, BMW also brought out the 2014 5 535d (with LCI refresh) and the 2014 M5 with competition package for us to check out. Here are some on-location photos of the 535d M Sport and M5 Competition (this M5 does not wear the Competition Package wheels which come with the package).

The 535d is new for the US market for the 2014 model year. A 3.0-liter twinpower turbo … CONTINUED

Edmunds shares their first drive review of the 2014 5 Series and gives their take on this:

These dynamic upgrades are subtly … CONTINUED

BMW Japan has announced the availability of 300 limited edition 5 Series “Exclusive Sport” models.

There’s actually not much exclusive about these models other than the packaging together of already existing options/packages and BMW Individual options.

Starting with a titanium silver F11 528i, they added the M5′s front fenders, side view mirrors, and rear diffuser, while molding their own custom front bumper.
