2006 BMW M5

The E60 M5 was introduced in 2005.  It has a 5 liter V-10 that redlines at 8,250 RPM and develops a peak output of 500 HP and 380 lb·ft of torque.  Unlike some other BMW engines which utilise Valvetronic to infinitely vary valve lift to eliminate the throttle plate, this engine has individual throttle bodies per cylinder.  The E60 M5 was the world’s first production sedan to feature a V10 petrol engine. 

Other key features include a stiffened aluminum chassis and a 7-speed SMG III sequential manual gearbox, also known as a single-clutch automated manual transmission.  Front fog lights are unavailable for the M5, as the amount of air required to cool the brakes under spirited driving applications requires the spaces under the bumper, normally occupied by fog lights in other E60 cars, to be reallocated for air cooling ducts.

The E60 M5 was the most successful M5, despite being on the market for one year shorter than the E39 M5.  During its five year run, 20,548 units were built composing of 19,523 saloons and 1025 wagons.  8,800 were sold in the U.S., all of the sedan variety.
