BMW M5 (2000-2005)

We Say...
So you want a Ferrari basher but you've got 3 kids already? No problem. The BMW M5 is made just for you. Remotely based on the 5 Series, the M5 gets demon tweaks courtesy of a high-revving V8 and suspension modifications. It's not a lightweight, but it's one of the most practical super cars around.
A 4-door Ferrari basher.
They don't make them anymore.
