This Year's Model Updates:
The high-performance M5 returns to the BMW lineup for 2006, this time packing a 500-horsepower V10 engine.
Pros:
- Stunningly fast V10 engine, extremely well-balanced chassis, elegant driver-focused cockpit, exceptional build quality, strong resale value.
Cons:
- SMG transmission not always perfectly smooth or responsive during hard driving, iDrive system still a hassle, tinny exhaust note not worthy of such a great machine.

Perfect for anyone - 2006 BMW M5
By Nick - October 19 - 12:23 amThis car is a very well rounded car. Offers all sorts of modes and options to fit the drivers style. It has 6 different settings for the 7 speed transmission. Hold on tight on mode S6, the gear changes are extremely violent in this agressive mode. But when you want to cruise around town, the slower modes make smooth clean shifts. The 530i was said to be the best car ever tested, this is one step better, has everything the 530i offers, plus more, especially more power.
