If you're in the market for a car that's extremely fast, very practical and remarkably comfortable, then a used BMW M5 is a fabulous choice. As the performance variant of the regular 5 Series, the M5 offers superb handling similar to a sports-car driving experience. It also comes with various modern tech features, good cabin space and updated safety equipment, providing a well-rounded package.
The BMW M5 has only been offered with petrol engines, combined with automatic or manual transmission and rear or all-wheel drive.
PetrolBecause the M5 is essentially part of the 5 Series saloon lineup, it's extremely practical and spacious but with the added benefit of greatly increased power and performance.
Interior spaceThe BMW M5 (535i) was launched in 1979 during the first generation of the 5 Series when the department handling production was known as BMW Motorsport. During the first year, only 1,650 units were made. As one of the ultimate performance saloons, it has now been through six generations, with regular upgrades made to the powertrains and technology features.

With the arrival of the sixth-generation F90 M5, BMW upgraded the mechanical platform to handle even more power. It had the front design from the 5 Series, with just a few minor improvements, such as narrower headlights with laser technology, a lower and wider grille, and bigger side scoops.
In 2018, BMW released a new xDrive all-wheel drive system for the M5, giving it upgraded handling properties. Upgrades in 2020 included new styling with the Competition Package, with black added to the grille surround and redesigned LED taillights. The exhaust sound was also improved with the help of thinner walls on the twin tailpipes. In 2021, the CS version arrived with sport-bucket seats, two carbon-fibre paddle-shifters and a digital display.

Between the M5 and the M5 Competition, the base model has been the most popular. The base model has leather seating and many of the top tech features, but for a lower price.
Customers should look out for the Visibility Pack with laser headlights, while the Comfort Plus has massaging seats for more comfort and entertainment with rear screens. There's also the Technology Plus Pack, which has a better sound system; the M Pro Package, which adds carbon brakes; and the Ultimate pack, which combines several of the features together.
Because the M5 is part of the 5 Series range, it's very practical and spacious. Four adults can fit comfortably inside, with the rear middle seat suitable for children. There's also a decent amount of boot space. The boot is designed to hold multiple suitcases and the rear seats can be folded down for additional loading capacity.
Because the M5 is centred on performance, BMW has not offered a hybrid powertrain with it so far.
Yes, most BMW M5 models come standard with an automatic transmission. A manual gearbox was only offered in earlier models, making it more difficult to find in a used car.
BMW has offered both rear and four-wheel drive M5 models throughout the years. These two drivetrains seem to be equally popular among used examples, so either is easy to find. Four-wheel drive can increase traction on slippery surfaces, while rear-wheel drive offers a sportier performance.
