2007 BMW M5 consumer reviews

i just got my M5 2 months ago and i love it. I hit the pedal and real world stops and demons unleash... this it my 2nd M5 and like the first one its a stick-shift with a few german goodies under the hood witch makes it even more fun to drive. trust me, this car is for somebody who wants to feel like a kid and a man at the same time. So stop thinking and buy this monster.

BMW should be embarrassed by this car. Some marketing genius told BMW they should emulate AMG for the ?mature? sports sedan driver and that?s exactly what they did; the car has mediocre handling and braking and outright poor road feel. You can?t feel weight transitions and the steering feels loaded at speeds that shouldn?t bother a Corolla. Its good for nothing other than moving very fast in straight line, and not from a standing start either (if you think you will embarrass Porsches or anything else with this, you will be surprised). It is loaded with electronic junk inside and out; and all this manages to do is insulate the driver from the road and create endless annoyance in daily use. The materials and build quality are not particularly good either; the drivers seat is showing wear and wrinkling after only 6 months, trunk lid opens when it feels like it, etc, etc. This car will be traded ASAP. I have had too many real M cars to be impressed by this kind of electronic gadgetry.

The 2007 Bmw M5 is one of the most dependable, reliable, comfortable luxury car on the planet. The new Mercedes-Benz and Audi cars can NOT compare!

Fantastic overall vehicle. Get the 6-Speed manual transmission and skip the SMG. All the hoohah about the I-drive is nonsense. You set the navigation for a new location when you are parked, previous locations take one button push. Plus the navigation tells you when there is traffic ahead and offers a detour! Because you are busy driving the car, you just use the excellent voice recognition system. Say "cd", it turns the cd on, Say "dial Bob" it dials Bob's number and puts it through the speaker (bluetooth cell phone). All the necessary buttons for A/C, volume, etc. are at your fingertips. This car is the best of both worlds, comfortable to drive around town, seating for 5, beautiful to look at, but hit the M button and you are embarrassing Porsches at every stop light.
