The E60 BMW M5 was a four-door saloon with an F1-inspired V10 engine - one of the greatest powertrains of all time 🔥 Want one? Here's how:

In 2007, the M5 was facelifted and the easiest way to tell is the LED running and tail-lights. These are probably the ones you want, thanks to the uprated gearbox with upgraded pumps and hardware. Also note that the facelift was released in batches, so there could very well be pre-facelift cars registered late into 2007.

If you’re planning to buy an M5 as a comfortable cruiser, and the fuel consumption, 200-mile range and reliability scares haven’t put you off yet, be aware that the M5 went without the adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking of the standard 5 Series. Presumably, this was to maximise air intake, which the sensors would have inhibited… especially at the 205mph derestricted top speed. Even on updated cars, the SMG gearbox isn’t the smoothest or most durable.
