BMW M5 (2005-CURRENT)
We Say...
Why settle for a cramped sports car, when you can have genuine performance in a 4-door saloon or a 5-door wagon.  Meet the BMW M5.  It's Formula One meets the boardroom with its impeccable 500-hp V10 engine, 7-speed SMG and high-quality interior.  It goes from 0-100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, but is discreet enough for the everyday journey. The thinking man's super car.
Vava-vroom.
SMG could be smoother.
