History
The E39 M5 arrived in 1999 for the 2000 model year, marking the
first V-8 engine to be used in an M production car. And what an
engine it is. The 4.9-liter naturally aspirated V-8-internally
referred to as the S62-makes 394 hp at 6600 rpm and 369 lb-ft of
torque at 3800 rpm. It is a righteous screamer of an engine right
up to its 7000-rpm redline, and it could haul the stately German
sled from 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds. With its variable valve
timing for both the intake and exhaust cams, as well as individual
throttle bodies for its octet of cylinders, this is among the
finest engines ever to leave Munich's hallowed halls. But the M5
isn't just all ate up with motor. The only transmission available
was a six-speed manual-a beefed-up version of the unit found in the
BMW 540i. Even today the chassis feels stout and athletic, despite
a touch of body roll. The interior is handsome, purposeful, and
assembled with high-quality leather, wood, and plastic. The seats
hug your love handles with firm, reassuring support. In 2000, Car
and Driver called it "the most desirable sedan in the world."
