What's New

The 2006 BMW M5 debuts a new 500-horsepower 5.0-liter V10 engine, the first V10 in a road-going BMW, and a new seven-speed SMG transmission which allows the driver to shift with either the lever in the console or with paddles behind the steering wheel. Compared to the previous generation SMG, shifts are 20 percent faster and Drivelogic allows the driver to select from seven different programs to change the shifting characteristics. Other features include M Variable Differential Lock; M Version electronically-controlled suspension; special steering system that is quicker than 5-Series steering; largest and most powerful brakes ever offered on a BMW; 19-inch alloy wheels, M-calibrated Dynamic Stability Control; MDrive menu for the iDrive system; M5 updates to bumpers, rocker panels, front spoiler, trunk lid, and exterior trim; Merino leather upholstery; heated M sport seats; and aluminum or wood interior trim.

If you thought the M3 was fast... Well.... by So. Cal Bro. on 06/24/2006. Trim: 2006 BMW M5 Sedan, Owned less than 1 year.

Pros: From the exterior to the interior the car is flawless. Power is ridiculous. Although the car has 500 hp and just under 400 lbs/torque it's fast out of the gate. Aggressive wheels and steering makes this car not only commuter friendly but track friendly as well. (who would use this car to commute is beyond me)

Cons: It should of been offered in a stick!!!!!!!!!!!! Although the sequential gear box is truely awesome and much better than I anticipated.

Overall review: Move over Benz 55. You will have to follow the M5 for a few more years again!
