Striking new look for the 2025 BMW M5 catches attention
A recent short video shared by @strassewheels put a heavily personalized 2025 BMW M5 back in the spotlight. Unlike a more restrained, blue-tinted M5 we saw earlier in Dubai, this example goes bold with an orange exterior (likely a wrap) offset by glossy black trim on the roof, bumpers and side mirrors. The result is a visual statement that sits somewhere between tasteful tuning and full show-car theatre.
Aftermarket wheels take center stage
The most obvious change is the aftermarket alloy package from Strasse Wheels. These are the SV10M Deep Concave FS - three-piece, forged step lip wheels made from treated forged aluminum. Fitment on this M5 is substantial: 10.5x22 inches up front and 11.5x22 inches at the rear, giving the car a planted stance and a deep-dish profile that contrasts with the M5's relatively large coupe-like body.
- Wheel series: Strasse SV10M Deep Concave FS
- Construction: Three-piece forged step lip, treated forged aluminum
- Sizes available: 18" to 24" (custom options available)
- Starting price: around $2,750 per wheel (manufacturer listings)
Strasse advertises exposed or hidden hardware and multiple finishes for the SV10M, and the design is already popular on high-end exotics — from Lamborghini Aventador and Urus to McLaren 720S and the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series. That roster underlines how aftermarket wheels can reframe the perceived pedigree of a more conventional super-sedan like the M5.
Performance and packaging: the hybrid reality
It's worth remembering what lies beneath the bodywork. The latest M5 is a plug-in hybrid: an electrified twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 paired with electric motors to deliver a combined 717 bhp (727 PS / 535 kW). Official sprint figures are about 0–60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Despite the headline power, the M5 is heavier than its predecessor because of the hybrid components, and that extra mass contributes to a slight drop in outright on-paper performance compared with the prior generation.
Price and market position
In the U.S. the M5 Sedan starts at $121,900, while the M5 Touring (long-roof) begins at $123,900. Those numbers place the PHEV-powered M5 in the premium performance sedan segment where buyers expect both luxury and tuning potential — a market that aftermarket brands are actively targeting.
Highlights:
- Bold color and gloss-black accents make this M5 stand out in a crowd.
- Strasse SV10M wheels give an exotic, concave profile usually seen on supercars.
- The hybrid V8 delivers high combined output but adds weight versus the previous non-hybrid M5.
Why enthusiasts care
For tuners and owners, the modern M5 is a canvas: it combines luxury, usable speed and newfound electrification, but it also invites personalization to sharpen its visual identity. Whether you prefer a subtle carbon-fiber kit and sport exhaust or a loud wrap and deep-concave alloys, aftermarket choices like Strasse's SV10M show how wheel and wrap packages can drastically alter how the M5 is perceived.
In short, this orange-wrapped, wheel-swapped M5 highlights two trends in today's automotive scene: the mainstreaming of high-end aftermarket fitments and the growing appetite for visually expressive cars even in the executive performance segment.
