About this generation

A roaring mechanical marvel featuring a Formula 1-inspired 5.0-liter V10 engine that revved to 8,250 rpm.

Unveiled in 2004, the E60 M5 sedan and E61 M5 Touring delivered motorsport technology straight to public roads. At its heart was the legendary S85 5.0-liter atmospheric V10 engine, screaming up to an intoxicating 8,250 rpm and producing 507 horsepower.

Paired with the 7-speed SMG III sequential gearbox and adjustable EDC suspension, the E60 was capable of supercar performance at the push of the 'M' button. Its distinctive F1-inspired exhaust howl remains legendary among car enthusiasts worldwide.
