The BMW M5

The BMW M5 takes the exceptional qualities of the BMW 5-series and brings them to a performance level that is almost fitting for a speedway.  The M5 is offered in a saloon and a Touring model.

The BMW M5 comes with a V-8 or V-10 with 7-speed manual gearbox with the option of an M double-clutch.  BMW lists acceleration times at a remarkable 4.7 seconds 0-62 in both models with top speeds reaching 155 mph.

Fuel economy is acceptable and environmental impact is tolerable for the M5.  All vehicles are constructed with lightweight materials and brake energy regeneration, both of which improve fuel economy.  Fuel mileage at approximately 19mpg isn’t too shabby considering the beastly M5, and her CO2 emissions hover around 344g/km. 

In regard to space, the used bmw M5 is a roomy ride.  The driver and front-seat passenger are provided with sufficient seating space with variable adjustments to make the ride as comfortable as possible.  Rear-seat passengers should find the accommodations comfy unless passengers are exceedingly leggy.  Interior storage space is limited but sufficient cargo room is provided to allow the M5 to be a appealing performance vehicle for daily living.

Lightweight materials combined with huge brakes and a solid chassis give the M5 a balanced and solid ride with predictably smooth steering.  Cabin noise is remarkably low even when the V-8 is revving through lower speeds.  Perks abound in the cars’ interiors, with climate control, CD player and sports seats standard with oodles of optional upgrades.  Interior design will unlikely disappoint buyers of the M5.

Standard safety features for the BMW M5 include front and side driver and passenger airbags, foglights, rain sensors, dynamic stability control, ABS, and crash-sensor activations, to name a few.  A first-aid kit and warning triangle are staples of BMW safety and are included in all new vehicles.
