  You all want this, lets be honest - 2001 BMW M5
  By Town Savage - November 14 - 5:58 pm

  One word describes the difference between this car and all the rest, CLASS, because it is in its own. Interior design, comfort, safety, reliability.

  The Ultimate Driving Machine - 2001 BMW M5
  By dshin - January 11 - 2:00 am

  There are truely no substitues for this machine. It is a CLASSIC which can now start appreciating in value now BMW has stopped building this model, and the upcoming new model seems to be a couple steps backwards in styling. This is a car you can drive to work everyday and dont have to have a Porsche or a Ferrari in your garage for your weekend driving pleasures. It truely is a drivers car rather than for someone seeking for a shallow status. Certainly not for someone who likes automatics!

  Scary Fast - 2001 BMW M5
  By SJ_Sharkie - June 16 - 2:00 am

  Great car all the way around, excellent quality and phenominal performance. This is my first BMW and now I understand all the great things the car mags say about the 5 series. Best car that I have ever owned and I would highly recommend the car to others. Im very interested in how they will improve on this car in upcoming new model.

  Cant drive slow - 2001 BMW M5
  By Duke - October 5 - 2:00 am

  Ive never had a car that is more fun to drive. When driving it makes you want to take advantage of its performance capabilities. The only drawback is having to drive slow or in traffic. The features, looks and quality of fit and finish are impeccable. Its not a luxury vehicle it is "the ultimate driving machine".

  Best Sports Sedan -- Period - 2001 BMW M5
  By JFB - July 30 - 2:00 am

  A "Beast" in sheeps clothing. Looks like your basic family sedan, but keeps pace with a Corvette. The fastest production sedan on the planet. Plenty of power in all 6 gears. Top speed 155 MPH (182 MPH if delimited). All the fun of a sports car. All the amenities of an executive luxury sedan. Leather everywhere. Accolades from every major automotive magazine.

  This car is great. The only complaint is the horn is a bit weak. By far the best car BMW makes...

  One of the best values on the road today in terms of super-exotic-car-type performance at a reasonable price. The best blend of luxury, aestetics, engine performance, road handling ability, and convenience, and all in a 4-door sedan no less.
