BMW M5 (E60)
The E60 M5 was the most technically ambitious M car ever built — a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V10 engine from BMW's Formula 1 programme, producing 507 hp at a screaming 7,750 rpm, mated to a 7-speed SMG robotised gearbox with 11 shift modes. Its top speed of 330 km/h was the fastest production sedan in the world.
