For the BMW M5 F90 (M5, M5 Competition, M5 CS; chassis F90; model years 2017-2024) our catalogue lists 10 features in 5 categories. Below you see per category what we can switch on or retrofit.
Each feature shows how certain we are: “likely possible” means several independent sources confirm it; “checked at diagnosis” means it differs from car to car. Final compatibility is always confirmed at the diagnosis of your car.
Seven Tuning works in Rotterdam and Waddinxveen: the workshop is in Waddinxveen and serves Rotterdam and the surrounding area. Remote coding works anywhere in the Netherlands and abroad, when the job allows it.

Screens and instruments (5)
M cluster layout and redline

M start logo in the instrument cluster
The cluster shows the logo of your own M model on start-up, for example M2, M3, M4, M5, X5 M or a Competition/CS variant.
