2008 BMW M5

2008 BMW M5 Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 BMW M5

BMW's M5, based on the automaker's midsize 5 Series, is one of the fastest and most powerful sedans in the world, with a 5.0-liter V10 engine that drives 500 horsepower to the rear wheels. But this car isn't just speedy in a straight line; its handling is superb as well. A six-speed manual transmission is offered as an alternative to the standard seven-speed sequential-manual gearbox. Settings for acceleration response, shift patterns, suspension firmness and stability-control intervention are all adjustable. Like its performance, the M5's price elevates it above most other four-doors and ensures that only a select few will ever own this very special sedan.
