Overview & Reviews

For 2007, the BMW M5 adds a six-speed manual transmission as a no-cost option. A tire-pressure monitoring system joins the standard features list, along with a four-year subscription to BMW Assist and Real-Time Traffic Information.

• Breathtakingly powerful V10 engine, extremely well-balanced chassis, elegant driver-focused cockpit, superb build quality, stellar resale value.

• SMG transmission not always perfectly smooth or responsive during hard driving, iDrive system still a hassle.

  Little disappointed - 2007 BMW M5
  By georgoi - April 3 - 3:43 pm

  This was one of the first 6 speed MT cars in the US and I have to admit I was pretty angry to find out the traction control could not be turned off no one told me this ahead of time. This is not in keeping with the M car concept. I dont know if this approach is an attempt to save the driveline or save drivers from themslves but either way, this should have been made clear BEFORE the car got to the US. I dont think I would have bought it if I had known. Otherwise the car is very well appointed and fun to drive. Handling even without EDC on is very good. Brakes are outstanding. Cant get over 12 mpg no matter how I drive, but what can you expect from a car like this?

  FUN to drive - 2007 BMW M5

  I had a 545, and this is nothing like it. Way better gadgets. Improved navigation, heads up display is great, seats are much better and the acceleration is a great. The transmission is my favorite. Not for the wimpy driver.

  This car is awesome - 2007 BMW M5

  The M5 is a legal race car. So many things to love about this car. It is also an eye catcher, mine is Indi-red exterior and red interior, very sharp! The SMG does take a little to get use to, but does give the car a racing feel. Oh, and the exhaust note is heaven.
