e39 interior

In 2003 BMW M5 E39 was the last year built a generation M5 and is the best year for that model. Earlier models had problems with the E39 VANOS system (they are too expensive to fix), the problem with carbon build-up and a few other small things. However, in 2003 the wrinkles ironed out and the car was near perfection.

E39 M5 has a 4.9 liter V8 400 hp at 6600 rpm and 369 lb around-ft of torque at 3800 rpm and redlines at 7,000 rpm produced. Although the curb weight of 4000 pounds, E39 M5 can hit 0-60 mph in 5.0 seconds the official performance specs, but some have claimed they were consistently 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds beat. In addition, the car is very well balanced and handles like a dream and gives the driver a good feedback. I use mine to take to the mountains and I'm not afraid to drive the winding mountain road after a group of m3s, which is not a sinecure.

The 2010 E60 BMW M5 is the last year built a generation M5 and probably the best years. Previous models have a problem with E60 iDrive system and 7-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) III, but after a series of upgrades, this problem seems to have gone.

E60 M5 has a 5.0 liter V10 that about 500 hp at 7750 rpm and 383 lb-ft of torque at 6100 rpm and redlines at 8250 revolutions per minute. Although the E60 M5 has a curb weight around 4000 pounds, a big power upgrade push from 0-60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. What is interesting about both is, up to 60 mph, M5S two are almost neck and neck. However, E60 M5 begin to withdraw after the 60 mph mark, and it keeps going and going. What is interesting is that the E39 M5 was faster when the car peak torque is achieved at much lower speed (3800 rpm compared to 6100 rpm for E60 M5) and hits the driver directly, while the E60 driver a little more patient.
