The BMW M5 Competition made its debut earlier this month, solidifying itself as the most powerful BMW M5 to date.

The M5 Competition features a 616 hp version of the M5’s 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8, which is paired with an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and M X-Drive all-wheel drive. BMW claims the big, heavy sedan will hustle from 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds, while top speed is limited to 155 mph.

Other standout equipment on the M5 Competition includes active engine mounts, reworked suspension, an M Sport exhaust system, black exterior trim and Competition alloy wheels.

Don’t listen to us go on and on about the M5 Competition though – take it from BMW themselves. The German automaker recently put together a video giving us a full walkaround of the high-performance sedan, giving us our best look at the sedan before it arrives at BMW dealers later this year.

Check out the video embedded above.
