2002 BMW M5
Started on Oct. 14 by Keith
A 540i Sport with the 6-speed is a good car. Quick, quiet, athletic. But what happens when the BMW engineers are told to turn it up to 11? The M5 happens. Four doors. Fine Germanic leather. Alcantara headliner. And, of course, 400 horsepower. It’s the Real Car of the family. Not some over-engined mutant or anorexic athlete. It’s low-key menace that coddles us in luxury and packs a mean right hook. I haven’t come up with this many transparent excuses to take a car for a ride in decades.See more:
