Well, it didn’t take long.

We finally got the G90 M5 on the dyno with a Dähler performance module. I’m assuming it’s on 93 octane, but we have baseline numbers to compare to the stock map on the same dyno!

This M5 with the performance module put down:

747whp at 5,890rpm

782whp at 3,050rpm

Making gains of 69whp and 59wtq from the baseline map.

Thoughts?

The Beast is definitely back… ‼️

All nice, but power values do not translate into acceleration times

Which M of all time has the best power to weight ratio? I don’t mean highest, I mean which has the best, closest to limit of grip?

Max power at 3k rpm? Holy oil burner!

Needs a much bigger turbo or eMotor

You have a completely valid point

Carbon ceramic brakes are a must!

I wonder if it's the same turbo as the X5/X6 M.

Explain please?
I do not track day the car, and never felt “underpowered” with the steel compound brakes on my M6.
I still have the chance to alter my order (steel brakes now), but are open to be convinced to change to CC.
I haven’t seen a comparison yet, or a real convincing case for the CC, so: convince me.

CCB under repeated hard braking tends to hold up better than traditional steel ones. IMO the real win is not having to clean the wheels as it’s a bargain to have it fitted from the factory vs retrofitting it later.

Your future car washings will thank you 🙂

I chose not to spec CCBs.

Like you, I’ll never track my car and I won’t launch it either. I tend to drive quickly on Motorways but am inclined to anticipate speed changes, and take my foot off the gas, rather than use the brakes.

Occasionally, when on a decent back road, I drive in a ‘spirited’ fashion but not to the extent that I need to mash the brakes repeatedly.

I trust that BMW have appropriately equipped the vehicle to cope with such use and offer upgraded brakes to those planning to cane it regularly.

CCBs are very costly day 1 and servicing of them (pads & discs) are equaly expensive all over again.

I have also heard they can be noisy but some complain about that on regular brakes too so not sure on that front.

In the end, it’s a personal choice.

I owned first gen Porsche Panamera Turbo without PCCB and although the car was great, each time I drove my buddy's Turbo S with PCCB, I felt more "in control" and the car felt more agile and faster and more planted as the brakes gave the car an enormous amount of stopping power without any fading. Never tracked the car but drove fast daily. A car as heavy as the G90, would definitely benefit from the extra braking power. No brake dust is an added bonus.
