Thanks to improved power , outstanding handling and rock solid reliability it has fostered a reputation as being 'the best car in the world'. It cemented the position of the BMW 5 Series as a true all time classic and consolidated its place at the head of the executive saloon market. It is one of the most highly sought models on the used market. However , with recent launches , prices have been pushed down. If you're smart you can find some real bargains.
The car's appearance also has a unisex appeal to it making it not too " " girly " " for the boys and not too " " boyish " " for the girls. The M5 comes with a standard V8 six-cylinder 225 horse power engine. Newer sedans made after 2006 now boast up to 360 horse power. The new 530xi models come with all-wheel power for faster transport.

It lasted , with only a few minor revisions , right the way through until 1987. The earliest versions are few and far between. Most have rusted away or been sold as scrap , but collectors do value them and a good condition early model can fetch almost 2 , 000 pounds. The first major upgrade came with the E34 which featured a host of high performance models culminating in the outstanding M5.Search requests: bmw carbon door fiber panel, 2003 745 batistas bmw li, 2008 bmw m3 body kits, 22 bmw inch wheel x5, bmw m6 clr600 by lumma, brad wilson, calgary bmw m3 driver, custom wheels for bmw 2002tii, hand bmw cars for sale
