Vehicle Summary
BMW says the rear-wheel-drive M5 has "supercar handling" — though it's also promoted for "outstanding everyday driving qualities." When equipped with a seven-speed sequential manual transmission, the M5 can accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and can reach 120 mph in 15 seconds. This 500-horsepower sedan's competitors include the 435-hp Audi S6, the 469-hp Cadillac STS-V and the 507-hp Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. The sequential manual transmission incorporates Drivelogic, which offers 11 gear-change options. Read more
