The BMW M Series is a line of luxury cars manufactured by the German automaker BMW. Brought to India in 2007, the BMW M Series is available in three models: M5 Sedan, M6 Coupe, and M6 Convertible. The BMW M5 is a full-size sport sedan that was introduced in other countries in 1985. It is built on the FR platform.
The BMW M5 Sedan is backed by a 12-year warranty for the bodywork and a 3-year warranty for the paintwork. BMW offers a vehicle warranty of two years, excluding the replacement of worn parts, original BMW parts, and original BMW accessories, regardless of the mileage.
The BMW M5 Sedan competes with the imported models of Mercedes-Benz CLK and Chevrolet Corvette.
The engine is linked to a 7-speed M Drivelogic Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG), which features gear-change keys on the steering wheel and a selection lever on the central console. It allows for changing of gears quickly, without having to reduce speed, decrease engine power, or use a clutch. Maximum acceleration can be achieved by launch control, which ensures that speed is maintained across the entire range of gear changes.
The BMW M5 Sedan comes equipped with perforated and ventilated compound disc brakes, which perfectly complement the performance of the gusty V-10 engine. For added support, the M5 Sedan is equipped with a variable M differential lock, which offers high driving stability and optimum traction, especially when pulling out of curves. This also prevents spinning of the drive wheels. Even on slippery terrains, the M differential lock supplies that decisive extra portion of pulling power. This system not only optimises handling but also supports the thrust from the rear-wheel-drive.
The BMW M5 is also available with an optional head-up display with an M indicator, which enables the driver to keep an eye on the most important information by projecting speed, navigation directions, and check control data onto the windscreen for optimum visibility. It can also be activated to display the SMG gear selected by the driver, the rev count as a dynamic graph curve, and the optimum moment to change gear.
The M5 Sedan stands on 19-inch light alloy wheels and rolls on 255/40 ZR19 front and 285/35 ZR19 rear tyres.
The BMW M5 Sedan comes with plush, comfortable, and well-appointed interiors. The M5 Sedan can seat five persons. It comes standard with leather-trimmed seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a gear shift knob. A height adjustable driver's seat is available as optional on the M5.
The BMW M5 Sedan features an instrument panel that includes illuminated, white scale rings and red needles. It also comes standard with rain-sensing front wipers, a rear defogger, and a rear wiper. It has a fuel tank capacity of 70 litres. Some other amenities include an air conditioner, power windows, a power steering, power door locks, a tiltable steering column, tinted window glass, electrically-adjustable outside mirrors, and cup holders.
The body-shell of the BMW M5 Sedan is extremely stiff and resilient, which maximises passenger comfort as well as safety. It comes with deformation zones on the front and rear bumpers to protect the body-shell from damage. For safety, the BMW M5 Sedan features driver and front passenger, side and head airbags. It also comes standard with seatbelts, pre-tensioners, and an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Some other safety features include central locking, an engine immobilizer, a remote keyless entry, child safety door locks, a collapsible steering, and an anti-theft alarm.
