Strength:
Power, Braking, Handling, Luxury, Stealth. Need I continue?
Weakness:
Poor fuel mileage (approx 14 mpg), weak clutch (replaced after 14k miles), consumes lot of oil during the first 10k miles and it understeers a lot at the limit. Other than that, it is near perfect. It is the ultimate performance 4-door sedan on the planet!! Similar Products Used: E55, C2 Cab and NSX |

Strength:
Luxury, Eats miles, Sporty feeling for a huge car like that, immediate throttle response, power
Weakness:
Rearwheel drive can't handle the power, oil consumption really high at 1litre every 1000km (600miles). Alright, I bought that M5 from my brother, who had it there in his used car lot and as I just needed a new everyday car I just bought it. This car is absolutely great, so much power, looks good, is spacious, quiet even at high speeds, and the BMW professional sound system sounds so good, I even wait if I am at home, until the played song finds its end. The engine noise is V8ish sounds big, just as big as the engine is (for european standards it is huge). While travelling (cruising) the engine is not noticeable, while accellerating it sounds so good. Cool mix. Similar Products Used: Audi S4 Biturbo: Does feel just as fast, is smaller, but everytime the better car. |

M5
Strength:
Styling is so sophisticated yet power and handling is that of a sports coupe. Rocket like response and can outrun most couped up coupes at the luxury you expect from BMW. Like they say in the magazines, "It's a sportcar in disguise!!". I love this car.
Weakness:
Being 26 and getting stares from many people wondering how a guy my age has a bad ass car like this!! heehee I paid 80,000 for this car and I would tell you, "Do not test drive this car!!". You will end up dreaming about it day and night and won't be satisfied until you have one parked in your garage. Get it though if it won't put a dent in your finances!!!

M5
Strength:
strong, smooth engine. hand stitched leather. TIGHT handling. classic shape.
Weakness:
just a couple: the brakes on this body style have been notoriously bad. get 'em right; 3 months later they shimmy again. and the front/rear americanized crash bumpers look like front/back porches (that is not 'porsches'). the category here didn't say what year to submit reviews on, exactly, so here's one on the original M5. we got this '88 in '95 for $14,500. not bad for a car in beautiful shape that sold for $57,000 new. think of the cars you know that cost that then. great deal for what we paid, even though, yes, repairs are pricey. but then, after maybe putting $5K into it over several years (mostly brakes), we still have spent less than, say, a new accord. this is no accord. with 205,000 miles, it runs like a champ. engine is like a (huge) sewing machine. and yes, the original also uses oil, and is designed to. the engine sound is great. (so is the stereo, although it does, rarely, crack like lightning and thunder are blasting through once every month or so, for one second, just to keep you alert i guess.) cornering and steering can't be beat easily. the ULTIMATE ultimate driving machine. i am sorry to say that we use it as a daily commuter mostly, with a child seat, yet! with 70mph speed limits, it is not practical to give it a thorough workout often, so we resort to 80 mph on 35 mph on-ramps, etc, for kicks. it is very stable at 135 on the freeway. overall, a classic, potent, kick-ass, good value of a used car if you can find a clean, well maintained one.

Strength:
great navigation system, nice sound system, very fast

Insurance is very high for a seventeen year old like me. I paid 73,000 dollars for it and it is worth every penny. Similar Products Used: Mercedes S500 E55 |

Strength:
Engine, suspension, looks, comfortable interior, and I gotta love those butt warmers!
Weakness:
loves oil! This thing is built like a fine watch! There is no feeling like flying down a hilly country road in this thing. The throws are short and the clutch is easy. Furthermore, the engine is well mated to the manual. What can I say? It's an m5! Similar Products Used: -1991 M5 had less horsepower, although I can't help but think that I like the e34 body style over the new one. |

Strength:
Power, Technology, Space (Sedan)
Weakness:
Sport handling, Quality, Oil consumption I was attracted by the combination of power and space: i.e. driving a sportscar on the track and able to take out the family on the weekend. Had to realize that the M5 is very much a sedan and not a sportscar (more a muscle car). Similar Products Used: Porsche 911 - Audi S4 |
