2016 BMW M5 RWD

Azuritschwarz Metallic (Azurite Black Metallic) on a 2016 BMW M5 is a deep, sophisticated BMW Individual color, appearing as a dark, rich black with subtle blue undertones that shimmer in direct light, giving it a unique depth compared to standard black paints, emphasizing luxury and exclusivity on the potent M5 sedan. This specific shade highlights the M5's aggressive lines while maintaining an air of understated elegance, often paired with Merino leather interiors and M-specific features like black grilles or Competition Package upgrades for a truly bespoke look. What it is: BMW Individual: Azuritschwarz is a special order paint from BMW's bespoke customization program, meaning it wasn't a mass-market color. Color Description: A metallic black with underlying blue pigments, creating a liquid or deep space black effect that shifts with the light, as described on car enthusiast forums. On the 2016 M5: Performance Meets Luxury: It perfectly complements the F10 M5's powerful 4.4L Twin-Turbo V8, adding a premium, custom feel to the performance sedan. Typical Pairings: Often seen with black M Performance grilles, dark wheels (like 20-inch Style 343s), and full Merino leather interiors in black or Silverstone. Rarity: While not as rare as the limited-run Pure Metal Silver Edition, Azuritschwarz signifies a higher level of customization. Visual Impression: In low light, it's a dark, deep black. Under sunlight or bright showroom lights, the subtle blue flakes become visible, giving it an incredible sense of depth and making the car's contours pop Key Features & Specifications: Engine: 4.4L Twin-Turbo V8 (S63). Power: 560 hp (base) or 575 hp (Competition Package). Torque: 500 lb-ft (base). Transmission: 7-speed M-DCT (Dual-Clutch Transmission). Performance: 0-60 mph in ~3.7 seconds, quarter-mile ~12 seconds. Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive. Likely Packages (Based on VIN Prefix & Model Year): Competition Package (ZCP): Includes 10mm lower ride height, firmer suspension, remapped Active M Differential, and more direct steering. Executive Package: Power tailgate, soft-close doors, rear sunshades, heated rear seats, 4-zone climate control. Driver Assistance Plus: Active Blind Spot Detection, Active Driving Assistant, Side/Top-View Cameras. What Makes It Special: F10 Generation: A blend of modern tech, luxury (Merino leather, HUD), and raw M power. M-DCT: Known for lightning-fast shifts. Subtle Aggression: Looks like a standard 5 Series but with quad exhausts and M badges up close. Potential Considerations: Steering Feel: Some reviews note lighter steering feel compared to older M5s. Weight: A heavier car, but performance remains supercar-like.
