The BMW M5, however has always been a little bit different compare to the ordinary 5-series, such as the exterior and the engine.
The interior looks almost same with the ordinary 5-series, but it features a function that ordinary 5-series doesn’t have, the MDrive. It enables drivers to individually program a host of M5 functions such as the Digital Motor Electronics (DME system), 7-speed SMG with Drivelogic, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Electronic Damper Control (EDC), Head-Up Display and the active backrest function of the M multifunction seats. Just one touch of the MDrive button on the steering wheel activates all pre-selected settings for exceptionally comfortable or exceptionally dynamic driving. (Source:BMW)
The M5 can go that fast, thanks to this 5 litre V10 engine that can unleash 400hp. It’ll do 0-60mph (o-100km/h) in just 4 second.
Which one you prefer?
