  • Part two of two. Still unable to turn the sat-nav off Jeremy resorts to the 'M' button which transforms the sedate BMW M5 into a beast of car. Its then over to the Stig for a power-sliding lap of the Top Gear track.

    When the E60 was released it was so ahead of its time. Everyone thought it was ugly. But now, 11 years later.. it still looks modern!

      The Jaguar XE-S does 4.9 on a supercharged V6 and corners better, sounds pretty nice and bills far lower (less than half as much); it may even pip this beast around a track. But I agree, you cannot replace the drama of a V10; we still wait, maybe Porsche to accommodate in a newer Panamera?

    “At the touch of a button it becomes one of the very best, it becomes... an M5” the love for this car and the heritage it carries with itself is just unrivaled. 35 years ago you couldn’t even dream of “fast” cars that aren’t a Ferrari or a tiny two door coupe, until the M5 changed everything and forged performance, comfort and luxury into true perfection. Ferraris at that time had no radios or door handles, yet they got chased around by a big bulky saloon with huge comfy leather seats, various comfort options and a class leading high quality interior. You can say whatever you want about BMW, but the cars they made were simply unrivaled.

      Dillon Harper the car is dope! luckily everything was changed before I purchased mine. You will have onlookers sweating the car because they know what it is. The ones that don't know will find out when you smoke them. I love the car. its a gas guzzler though. so unless you have secondary car you will spend a lot and I mean a lot of money on gas. I only drive mine on the weekends or when im feelin cool during the week other than I keep it parked up. its the risk you run when buying used car. the good thing about this car is that when youre done you still going to make money on it because its a M5. ayo add me on G+ and will give my number to give you more info on the car. I will help out as much as possible. you shouldn't buy something if you worried. let me know.

    I've got on 06 M5 and can say that Clarkson's review was spot on...except for not being able to cancel the turn signals and nav voice (which are actually easy to do). It IS slow and dim-witted around town, rolls back and forth (due to the SMG), and is overly complicated with the iDrive. The standard P400 feels like a lot less than 400 hp, and driving around town it almost feels and sounds like a 4 cylinder car with the lack of torque and tinny exhaust note at lower RPMs. It doesn't remotely feel like an M5 until put into P500 Sport and getting the RPM's over 5000, at which point it becomes a monster and the exhaust note becomes glorious. His opinion of the car was exactly the same as mine the first time I drove it and until I got used to its quirkiness. This is 100% a drivers car, and not for the faint hearted. Probably explains why my wife absolutely hates it.

      Honestly I don't think the SMG is that bad. It's certainly not super smooth, but I drive my wife/kid around all the time and they don't complain. It is tricky though and takes a while to get used to. The hill assist helps a ton with not rolling backwards/forwards, but it only holds for 1 second so you need to be moving as soon as you're off the brakes.
      It's all worth it though, this car is just incredible, I still can't believe I drive one every day.

    It does look ugly at first glance but this was in 2005 even when I thought the design was a bit daring. But now the design is beautiful, its gotten better with age and looks better than most modern cars, its a timeless classic. I've only see 2 of these on the road

      When they first came out, I was a bit skeptical and thought it looked okay. I was also too young and broke to own one so I didnt even care. Now here we are 10 years later, and I bought one... and I have to say, it is a true dream car. The body lines are insanely gorgeous and grow on me more and more everytime I walk out to drive it.

      And it's still relevant today; BMW M5's have only gotten uglier both in terms of looks and noise. It's still the only proper 4-door saloon with a thunderous V10 in it. I totally disagree with him on the looks, there was something very artisanal and iconic about those swoopy headlamps; just that the front grill wasn't aggressive enough but it strangley suited the car; the whole thing had a strangely elegant forme. Since 2010's 'F' gen, they obviously stole it's soul

    13 years later, it still blows my mind that BMW made a road going 5 Series capable of doing 204mph. This M5 was so out of this world in 2005, and even now it seems outrageous.

    I remember watching this when I was 8 years old! It really resonated with me. I want one of these so badly! The sound of the Odd-Firing V10 (2:43), goosebumps!! And the twist from hating it to loving it, excellent review Clarkson!! 👍👍

    Chris Bangle creates a timeless facade with this M5. Nowadays BMW is more conservative in their design language, and it’s a shame because Bangle’s Bimmers have character in their looks, which is something we probably won’t see any time soon

  • @Caffeinated-DaVinci
    @Caffeinated-DaVinci Před 10 měsíci +4

    I don't understand the ugly comments. From the moment I saw the E60 for the first time, I thought it was beautiful. I still think it looks amazing, but the V10 is the star of the show. You just don't see engineering like that anymore.

    • @prodyung829
