BESTuners BMW M5 05 Report:
Deep Forest Raceway Time: 109.984
Intro
The 05 BMW M5 is a gorgeous car. I personally prefer the pre 04 models myself. But, as I drove the 05 I began to accept its styling more. Naturally, I chose this vehicle, since I really have a passion for mid sized luxury cars. Especially, ones that can move out of their own way. And, the 05 M5 can certainly do that. Stock, it weighs 1,715kg/3,780lbs. So, getting that weight up to speed is going to require some power. You get 508HP from the factory, but we all know, there can never be enough HP. Thats where the work begins .
The Good..
At first you would think that such a heavy, long, 4 door sedan wouldnt do too much performance wise. Once fitted with the performance parts the M5 goes through a transformation. Stiffer springs and stabilizer bars make body roll(an expected behavior from a luxury car) virtually nonexistent. For some, it may be too stiff. Uneven road surfaces can cause the rear end to get squirrely at speed. Personally, I think it adds to the fun factor of this car. The handling is impressive. A little too hot coming into a corner and its going to push. Not a problem. A slight tap on the brakes and youre back in line. Very little input is needed from the gas and brakes to get this car going where you want it. Always remember, Smooth is fast. Erratic or 100% braking can really upset the suspension. Smooth, subtle input from the driver will yield a very enjoyable driving experience. One of the most impressive things I noticed is the way the car behaved coming out of a turn. Give it gas and it would turn. Push harder and ..It would turn more. It likes to turn with the accelerator. With a slight ASM set for over steer you wont have to worry about spinning out while doing this. Now, the Power. Theres plenty of it. 761 HP to be exact. This is not just a 4 door freeway cruiser anymore. No matter where you are in the RPM range theres power waiting to be unleashed. Oh, and with the 7 speed transmission 200mph is no problem for this beast. 0-400M is done in 10.36 seconds.
The Bad..
As I said before, at speed, it starts to get scary. Get into some bumps over 100mph and youre at the mercy of the tires. I found myself picking grass out of my teeth after topping a few jumps on Nurburgring. Yet, on other occasions it would clear the jump, even with all the jittery stuff going on in the rear. Remember where imperfections are on the tracks and youll be fine. A little too much speed coming in or carrying too much out and the car will really push to the outside. Brakes will help but only too a certain extent. Too much braking will only worsen the problem. Weight would be another downfall of this car to some people. I can accept it since it is a 4 door luxury car. But, we all know, this amount of power in something lighter would be awesome.
Verdict
Want a 4 door luxury car in your collection that doesnt drive like a 4 door luxury car? This is it. The weight of the BMW M5 is no longer a factor. The HP increase and suspension mods make this feel more like a sports car. Even in its stock form, its an impressive car. Naturally, modifying it would just make things better. As I said before, once youre moving at a high rate of speed things get a little crazy. This is due to the fact that I didnt add a wing. I just couldnt bring myself to put a wing on such a nice looking vehicle. With a wing Im sure there would be much more high speed stability.
