A selection of images of the E60 M5: exterior lines, interior, and the S85 V10 under the bonnet. The aim is to show the details the articles talk about — the sculpted body surfaces, the four exhaust outlets, and the Power button on the centre console.
Use the arrows to browse the images.
The M5 E60 from the front. Almost nothing sets it apart from an ordinary 5 Series.
The S85 V10 under the bonnet: five litres, ten cylinders, no forced induction.
The cabin: M steering wheel, SMG gear selector and light upholstery.
Spoked wheel and oversized brakes, demanded by 507 horsepower.
The E60 body seen head-on, here on a standard 5 Series.
The E60's rear and its two-volume boot, the detail that caused so much argument.
