The 2007 BMW M5 sport sedan has an opening MSRP of $82,900. Powered by a five-liter, 10-cylinder, 40-valve, V10 with 500 hp, the M5 has an optimal power-to-weight ratio for a full-size sedan. It makes zero to 60 in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph. Estimated fuel efficiency with both the seven-speed SMG and the six-speed manual transmission is 12 city, 18 highway.

Handling and braking features include dynamic stability control; all season traction control; vehicle-speed-sensitive variable-assist power steering; and four-wheel, vacuum-assisted, ventilated, cross-drilled anti-lock disc brakes. The driver and passenger side front airbags have "smart" dual-stage and dual-threshold deployment. Impact sensors isolate hazardous ignition and fuel components from the battery in the event of an accident and turn on the lights while unlocking the doors.

The 18-way power sport seats are upholstered in Merino leather. The standard audio system is a thirteen-speaker, AM/FM/CD Logic7 Surround Sound unit with MP3 capability. BMW Assist provides you with a 24-hour direct connection to the BMW Assist Response Center while Bluetooth Hands Free Calling allows the user to make and receive calls as well as acquire numbers using controls on the tiller, radio buttons, or voice commands.
