The BMW M5 F90 Competition LCI is often considered by enthusiasts the "Peak M5", the ultimate evolution of a high-performance sedan. A perfect balance of raw V8 power, state-of-the-art all-wheel drive and timeless aggressive design. And for me one of the best looking BMWs.

Gran Turismo lacks modern, high-performance sedans, and I think this BMW M5 version would be a good addition.

GT7 needs an M5 in the game! Or several.

To be honest though I think most people would consider the V10 model peak M5. F90 is the first model to be auto exclusive and AWD. Features that are...questionable.

Personally I think this M5 is the best overall package in terms of design and performance. But when it comes to „taste“, there is no right or wrong. The E60 M5 been in several previous GT´s and I think it appeared in several leaks. We'll see it sooner or later. But as written above, the Gran Turismos vehicle list lacks, can use some modern high-performance sedans.
 
Nice but what is the difference between this and a ordinary M5 competition?
In short, the LCI is the latest version of an M5 Competition.

In detail: LCI "Life Cycle Impulse" or facelift refers to the model update of a model series.
In the past BMW only slightly modified the the front/rear lights on the LCI M models and that was usually it, as far as the exterior design is concerned.

What's special about this model is that the headlights/taillights have been completely redesigned, kidney grilles have been modified, and the bumpers has also been changed.

The changes are so extensive that it's almost like a completely different model.

LCI is BMW-speak for "facelift".
Thank you both so much for explaining to me how it works.
