"Awesome" is frequently the word used to describe this car, but not "awesome" in the way a teenager uses the word but "awesome" in the way someone who can actually afford what amounts to a German-engineered, (barely) street-legal race car.
The M5's V-10 engine produces 500 horsepower and goes from zero to 60 in a hair-raising 4.7 seconds, according to independent test drivers. The M5 is built on the 5-series platform, but some of the controversial changes to that line of cars have missed the M5.
"(T)he M5 still stands out as one of the least controversial BMWs designed under Chris Bangle. It's a chunky piece, with a wide, low stance that spells presence with a capital P," wrote one automotive journalist. "The nineteen-inch wheels wear Michelin Pilot Sport footwear, 255/40 up front and 285/35 at the rear."
What owners say
"Owners of the 2007 BMW M5 generally rave about its thrilling performance, impressive acceleration, and exceptional handling. Many drivers enjoy the powerful engine and the overall fun factor of driving this car. However, some complaints arise regarding the iDrive system being user-unfriendly and issues with torque compared to the high horsepower. The cost of ownership, particularly fuel expenses, is also mentioned as a downside."
The M5 is unlike any car I've ever driven. It is an extension of your body and it responds to you instantly. I just put Michellin Sport 2's on and it handles even better if that's possible. The only criticism I have is with iDrive which is slow and not very user friendly. The car has plenty of power (500 hp) but little torque.
November 16, 2008The best v10 ever created we just love the sound and capabilities
September 6, 2023It's an M5. What's not to like?

June 21, 2008Full Technology, nice acceleration, performance and handling. This car is smarter than me
March 16, 2008very good car, runs and drives very strong excellent on handling, and very fast. it does consume lots of gas, but it;s worth every single penny. the comfort level ailed with the power is unbelievable. will keep it for ever
February 24, 2013awesome in every way but not for the gear box. the down shift is really really fast. but shifting up a gear is really slow. big horse power low torque waste of gas. Rear wheel drive = bad start. awesome lumbar support.
November 30, 2009The car is awsome.The quality of the interior and exterior is perfect. Performance is next to none. The price was alittle over the top but it is a BMW. I love the car to drive its so much funand looks beautiful.The convertible is the way to go, no soft top just full touch of a button
December 9, 2008•Performance - acceleration: Great, braking:High Performance 600 degree brakes, handling: Heavy German build but good on corners. •Build Quality - has it needed repairs?: Yes, the common problem now with BMW car wheels is that they develop internal cracks. This caused the tyre to blow out and the rim to shatter. •Appearance - Outside is obviously a large 4 door sedan so it is big on the build. •Cost of Ownership - gas: V-power, fricken expensive. 500km to a tank •Fun Factor - is this car fun to drive?: Always, the gear changes are very powerful and wheelspins all the way up to 4th at times when the engine is warm.
March 31, 2010This car is soooo much fun to drive, gives you more than 500Bhp, if you dont like speed,,,, avoid this car. you can still ride it every single day. its almost perfect. it look nice all the time, when you drive the SMG gearbox you cannot go back to normal gearbox, the only solution is to buy manuel instead. i really enjoy my ride. thats it,,,, nothing less nothing more. ;)
