It's been fourteen years since launch BMW M5 E60, one of the most incredible sports sedans ever built. In those years, size reduction and emissions were also unfamiliar words. BMW decided to slip naturally aspirated V10 engine under the hood of a beautiful sedan designed Chris Bangle... E60 introduces the fourth generation BMW M5 and also with the largest engine and the largest number of cylinders.
But he brought with him many other novelties: 7-speed robotic sequential gearbox (can be used in both automatic and manual modes) with 5 different modes, from the sweetest to the most sporty; in Active steering ASC (which changes the descent according to speed) and a system that "takes" power when you are driving quietly, limiting the engine power to 400 hp. instead of 500 hp.
It is also the only BMW M5 ever made in a version. tourism (station wagon), with the same engine and rear wheel drive.

In my opinion, BMW M5 E60 he has aged like wine. Pencil Chris Bangle he drew some bold lines, but over the years they proved timeless. In short, she aged well. But what makes it more exotic is its 10-cylinder heart: the V10 E60 is a naturally aspirated 5,0-liter engine capable of producing 507 CV and 7.750 weights. It really is a crazy engine. The base and heads are made of aluminum, lubrication is assigned to two oil pumps, and electronic control is carried out by Vanos and Valvetronic devices.
It's a very fast car, even by today's standards: the data says one thing 0-100 km / h in 4,5 seconds и 250 km / h maximum speed (limited by electronics).
M-EXPERIENCE
I like super sports sedan, they are complete machines. You can go to the beach or go shopping, but if you take them to the track with you, they will feel equally comfortable. This is more than others. The main reason is his own engine: It does its best at high revs, so you need room to make it sing, and when you get to the limiter in third gear, you're traveling at supersonic speed.
And then there is the rear drive, a greedy ingredient on the track that allows you to let your imaginations run wild and turn your rear wheels into smoke.
The car really balanced and lightweight even when the controls are off, thanks to the aluminum frame and excellent weight distribution. It offers an immersive and immersive driving experience, with the icing on the cake for a wild and almost irrelevant sedan soundtrack.
PRICE AND EXPENSES
THE samples beginning with 2005 2008 to located slightly higher 20.000 euro, and the most recent (the last were released in 2010) reach 35.000 euro. This is a very low price considering the type of car - it is really modern and up-to-date - the problem is that consumption и management costs... These include high consumption (very high) and reliability issues transmission, which has always been very fragile. On the other hand, 10 year olds like 70% discount on the super brand.
