- Performance: Huge amounts of power: 507hp! 5Litre v10. Yes, it is a monster! Neck breaking acceleration. - Build quality: It hasn't needed any repairs. BMW quality. Only thing was that the leather creaked a bit when turning, but you couldn't really even hear it! - Appearance: Very nice designing, both interior and exterior. Sportish, like it should be. - Cost of Ownership: Expensive car in any way. You have to be rich to drive this. Spends around 18l/100km. - Fun factor: This car is fun to drive! M power!
October 7, 2008I have owned this car for around 1.5 years and have loved every minute of it. It has been very reliable and has delivered all the power I have ever needed. I would recommend this car for anyone as a collector or daily driver.
April 22, 2015Best sedan in the world that got it all. Super handling and power with m. Can personally choose which setting of suspension and transmission you want. With all the luxury features and 500+ hp, this is the most luxurious and most powerful car on the planet.

October 22, 2014The most amazing feature of this car is its normally asperated whopping 10 cylinder engine producing 505hp. It is most likely going to be a collector. To get one with good miles would more than likely be a keeper.
December 9, 2020It's the ultimate driving machine. BMW has outdone themselves again with this engineering marvel. The V10 power plant is something worthy of its own page in the record books, with heart pounding pleasure delivering performance. A kick in the seat of your pants done with class. The E50 M5 is in a league of its own.
June 22, 2014After owning the car for 3 years I still got in the car every morning and said....what a car!!! What other 4 door sedan that you know of will do 200 MPH. An amazing car that is so fun to drive, oh and on rainy days wow so much fun....
January 3, 2009The s85 engine is why I bought an e60 m5. In terms of hp for the money its a bargain. I cant think of any car thats faster for 15k. Although dont let the purchase price fool you. The real cost is in maintaining this beast of a car. Every time Ive had an issue with this car its several thousand dollars, just in parts. Thank god I do my own work. The dealership quoted 6 thousand dollars to do the clutch. Even the rod bearings are a scheduled maintainance item every 80 thousand miles. And lets not forget how much a set of tires cost for this baby , around 4k if you go to the dealership . 200 mph rated tires are not cheap. In my humble opinion though this car is worth every penny.
April 22, 2021Ok an honest review. They are amazing and terrible at the same time. Great and fun to drive fast. Terrible in slow stop and go traffic. Very expensive to maintain. But the sound of the v10 is like nothing else. Totally amazing to to drive and plenty of power .
July 5, 2020I love everything especially the sound. The car looks amazing and is a treat to drive, it is my daily driver and has been issue free. The leather is plush and the power is plentiful oh and it fits my whole family and groceries.
December 24, 2013The best family performance saloon I ever drove. Amazing acceleration, awesome handling, and great exhaust sounds, very-very fun to drive! This car is the best choice for you to bring your family and experienced the performance of sports car in the highway. Just don't look at your fuel gauge when you drive it!
