BMW M5 E39
BMW built the M5 from 1998 to 2003. Car fans consider it to be one of the best performance sedans of all times, as well as the best M5 model. It was the prime example of German muscle cars. BMW had a tradition of building high powered and extremely fast sedans since the mid-80’s when they introduced the first M5.
But in late 1998, the E39 M5 amped the whole Autobahn cruiser-muscle sedan concept to a whole new level. The M Power department took the already competent E39 platform and re-engineered it into a pure sports car chassis with space for five people and their luggage. The heart of the car was a glorious S62 4.9-liter V8 engine with 400 HP. It sent its power to the rear wheels through the only choice at the time, which was a six-speed manual.
