BMW M5 2005 2010 PERFECT V10
BY ANDY ENRIGHT
Just six years after BMW slam dunked all of its direct opposition with the 400bhp V8-engined M5, it was back, this time with a performer of an entirely different magnitude. What was a headline power output in 1999 failed to raise an eyebrow in 2005 and with a 507bhp V10 engine under its bonnet, the M5 once again lit the blue touch paper in an ever-escalating power game. But while it might have had the brute force to impress as a new car, does the E60 generation BMW M5 still cut the mustard as a used proposition?
HISTORY
The E39 generation M5 built from 1999 to 2003 was a tough act to follow. Beautifully balanced, eye-wateringly rapid and flattering to even the most ham-fisted driver, it still elicits wistful sighs from besotted petrolheads the world over. The E60 model was tougher to love. Technologically dense, intimidatingly complex and challengingly styled, the later M5 was nevertheless something that caused jaw-slackening astonishment, if not instant affection. The proposition was initially very simple; one engine, one trim level, one body style, one transmission and very little in the way of options. At over £60,000 it wasn't cheap but compared to vehicles with equivalent performance it was a bargain.
Sales were initially a little slow but as the M5's shape began to mature nicely, orders rolled in. The promise of a manual gearbox kept many hooked but it was never launched in the UK, the Americans (of all markets) getting it instead, joined with non-switchable traction and stability control. When changes did come, in 2007, they were very subtle indeed. The seven-speed sequential gearchange was modified slightly to offer some much-needed smoothness in full automatic mode and the front spoiler was minutely restyled. The biggest news was the introduction of a rather handsome M5 Touring variant, the first M5 load lugger imported to the UK.
WHAT YOU GET
It's unlikely you'll mistake the M5 for one of its humbler brethren, even if your retinas struggle to resolve an image of extremely fast moving subjects. Modified front and rear aprons and side sills give it a subtly aggressive mien and subtle air ducts puncture the front wings. The big giveaway are the monster 19-inch wheels housed within the subtly flared wheel arches. These deeply dished ten-spoked wheels are unique to the M5 and are finished in Chrome Shadow. The four signature tailpipes at the rear also give a distinct clue as to what has just blown you into the weeds.
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the world's first production seven-speed sequential gearbox. The Drivelogic system changes gears around 20 per cent faster than the somewhat unsatisfying earlier iteration of the SMG gearbox as fitted to the M3. Eleven different change patterns are offered, six of which allow the drive to alter the speed and response characteristics of the gearchange in manual mode and five that govern the rules of the automatic mode. The sixth pattern in manual is reserved for the Launch Control function, giving the likes of you and I the opportunity to replicate BMW test drivers' 0-60 times. In theory at least.
A revised DSC stability control system has also been developed specifically for the M5. This features three settings, the default mode offering the full safety net of electronic features. An M Dynamic mode allows the enthusiast driver to let it hang out a little, the system allowing a little sideslip and opposite lockery. For the genuine hooligan and determined tyre fryer, a third press of the button disables the system completely although if you're confident enough to fling Munich's finest sideways at the scenery, I take my hat off to you.
If you think that's impressive, try the Mdrive button mounted on the steering wheel. This button offers a one-touch function that changes the settings of the car to a predetermined ‘sporting' setting. Using the iDrive control knob, the owner can select the preferred SMG gearbox setting, electronic damper control and DSC modes and, if specified, can even boost the amount of support from the side bolsters of Active Seat Control. Therefore you can roll up to your favourite corner with the M5 in its most comfortable setting, hit the Mdrive button and the car will transform into something a whole lot more focused. Like all the best ideas, it makes one wonder why nobody had thought of it before.
WHAT YOU PAY
You should be able to find a tidy M5 with full BMW main dealer history and showing around 28,000 miles on the clock from £46,500 on an 05 plate. Later 55 platers still fetch around £49,000 which shows how well this car clings onto its value. Predicted residuals for the M5 were 39 per cent after three years but the car is certainly set to beat those predictions. Insurance is, somewhat predictably, a top of the shop Group 20, hardly surprising for a car that can do 206mph if you disengage the electronic limiter.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
The seven-speed sequential gearbox isn't the most durable item. Little goes wrong with the actual mechanicals but the software marshalling the system is apt to show spurious warning symbols (the infamous ‘red cog of death') that will pass with a reboot but more serious shutdowns have occurred. Cars that have run out of warranty will terrify owners if they see the warnings and think a £6,000 transmission replacement is in the offing.
The original fit Continental tyres many were supplied with were not universally popular and many owners have found the Pirelli P Zero a better choice. The M5 has an appetite for oil and will consume up to one litre every 800-1000miles, so ask the previous owner about his or her oil changing and topping up regime and you should get some idea of how diligent they've been with other aspects of the car. BMW also recommended that launch control and gearshift speeds 5 and 6 are avoided in the first thousand miles of running in. If the owner is ignorant of this (assuming they had run the vehicle from new), walk away.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
(approx based on a 2006 M5 ) BMW spares have gained an enviable reputation for quality and value and consumables are distinctly affordable. An air filter is around £20, whilst you'll pay a similar amount for a fuel filter. Oil filters are around £8, whilst spark plugs are £18. A replacement cam belt is around £32.
ON THE ROAD
The M5 is the sort of car that rewards an extended ‘getting to know you' period. Jumping straight in and trying to decide which of the eleven gearbox settings and which of the damper settings, ESP settings and seat configurations best suits you just isn't going to fly. After a while, you'll probably settle on the softer of the damper settings, the second quickest gear shift and full ESP on but it's a very personal preference. The M5 takes a long time to learn to drive sympathetically as well, the initial few weeks will see you constantly making a berk of yourself with rabidly flaring engine revs, herky-jerky pull aways and missed reverse selections.
Then one day it will all click. You'll find your favourite piece of road and instead of being a recalcitrant oaf, the M5 will flow. You'll pour all 507bhp to the rear tyres, you'll rejoice in the way the car shrinks around you and you'll thank BMW's chassis engineers for building a car so communicative and rapid yet so safe.
OVERALL
The E60 generation BMW M5 is no picnic. It's not a low involvement decision, or rather it shouldn't be. Take a look at a few cars, negotiate hard and make sure the previous keeper maintained it on the button, every time. Be prepared to pay to extend the three-year warranty and you'll be rewarded with one of the most capable vehicles that ever turned a wheel. It might not be an easy car to love, but awestruck admiration will do for most of us.

Rain water leaking into passenger side boot interior on a 1999 VW Golf (hatchback)?
i have a 10 year old golf gti and i am starting to notice the boot interior sidewall and base carpet covering starting to get damp after rainfall and after driving in the rain,i also noticed the rear passenger window side seatbelt damp at the weekend as well,any ideas as to whats causing this?cheers
When it rains and you get the car home, open the hatch and check the seal up near the top left, if the seal is wet on the inside part of the seal, try drying and cleaning it and apply a bit of moisturiser to the seal just to lubricate it, it should soften it and make a good seal when closed. But if the seal is torn or just collapsed you need to replace it
