How often do you see an E39 BMW M5 rolling the streets here in the Philippines? That’s right, not that often.
How about a widebody E39 BMW M5? Perhaps never.
That makes me proud to present you with Ian King’s widebody E39 BMW M5. A one-of-a-kind monster from the CarPorn stable.
As if the highly tuned 4.9L BMW S62 V8 engine featuring double-VANOS, a screaming 7,000rpm redline, and individual throttle butterflies for each cylinder, combined to make 400 PS on a rear wheel drive platform isn’t enough to make your spine tingle, Ian has further modified this with aftermarket goodies such as an air filter, headers, exhaust, ECU, etc. along with suspension and brake modifications to put the the “U” in the Ultimate Driving Experience.
But what they’re really proud of is that they have custom-built the body kit (which is still a work in progress), and the car was widened to fit a staggering set of 18×12 Rota P45 Wheels on all four corners!
I’m sure you’ll agree with me withn I say that nothings screams “muscle” more than some deep lips combined with big fat rubber. Right?

If you’ve been actively following us at Custom Pinoy Rides, you must have already seen this BMW M5 featured in various action videos. If not, watch it in action smoking tires and drifting sideways below:

Oh, and this is also the same widebody M5 seen on the 2011 Manila Auto Salon, but at that time, the M5 was covered in camouflage livery.
Let me ask you guys, if you had an M5 as awesome as this, how would you dress it up? Camouflage like it’s previous iteration? Or matte white like what you see on these photos today? Or maybe you’d like to dress it up differently? Share it on the comments!
