Overview & Reviews

BMW now offers a DVD-based navigation system for the 2003 BMW M5 -- but alas, you still can't get an in-dash CD player. Besides that, rear head protection airbags (optional last year) are now standard across the line. This is the last year for the current 5 Series -- the M5 being the higher-performance relative of the 540i -- as it will get a full redesign for the 2004 model year. If recent history holds, the M5 is likely to go on hiatus for a couple of years before returning to the welcoming arms and wallets of wealthy enthusiasts. And rumor has it that it will be coming back with a V10 under the hood.

• Incredible drivetrain, superb brakes, world-class suspension, attractive and luxurious interior, understated appearance.

• High price tag, small gauges, demanding manual transmission.

  M5 Heaven - 2003 BMW M5
  By BillS100 - February 26 - 2:00 am

  This car is simply incredible. Have 3 passengers to take in style, no problem. Need to haul something, fold down the rear seat, no problem. You like a great stereo, its there. This car does not behave like a 540i with extra power. This car is a precision driving instrument waiting to respond to how youd like to drive it. It is the most fun thing to drive I have ever owned and in day to day driving is practical. Yes it has a 6 speed manual, but the clutch is easy to engage and the engine has so much torque that you can mininize the number of shifts you need in traffic. This car is an incredible piece of automotive artestry. The engineers at BMW got this one just right.

  If you want a car that drives like a Ferrari, is as safe as a Volvo, allows you to carry your family and enjoy driving, the M5 is it. This is my second one and for sure Ill have many more.

  If you havent ever driven an M5, you have to find someway to get behind the wheel. Everything about it is awesome! Comfortable, beautiful and faster than all-get-out. The handling is so good it is disturbing. Get one as fast as you can!

  Car handles like it is on rails. Awesome performance. The radio has electronic gremlins that shuts it down from time to time. I have the standard audio system which is satisfactory but not as good as in my previous Lexus. Cupholders are poorly designed and appear to be an afterthought by the design engineers.

  I purchased an 03 M5 last month, and it has been on the best decisions of my life. Truely, one of the finest cars to drive. The combination of raw power, stability and comfort makes this car worth every penny.

  Best Gosh Dang Car on the Planet - 2003 BMW M5
  By Alma84 - October 24 - 2:00 am

  Well, Almost. No where else are you going to get 400 Horse Power, and will seat 5 comfortably. The BMW M5 is the Apex of the Super Sport Sedan section. No other Sport sedan can do what this machine can do. But, ive heard the M6 will come out soon, same as the M5, but with 2 doors, a V10 and 500 horses!!!!!! Only bimmer can do that.
