Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW M5?
acceleration, hold on tight, this huge luxury car is as quick as a ferrari f430. I also love the stability control system, really saves your behind when you get over confident, or in wet weather.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW M5?
AWD, Turbo or Super Charged. Quicker delivery of the car, (I guess there is a 2 year waiting list now, so I cant complain)

2006 BMW M5 Review:
This car is a very well rounded car. Offers all sorts of modes and options to fit the drivers style. It has 6 different settings for the 7 speed transmission. Hold on tight on mode S6, the gear changes are extremely violent in this agressive mode. But when you want to cruise around town, the slower modes make smooth clean shifts. The 530i was said to be the best car ever tested, this is one step better, has everything the 530i offers, plus more, especially more power.

2006 BMW M5 Review:
Unbelievable car. SMG and iDrive are far better than I anticipated after reading several mixed reviews. Also being previous E39 540 owner. I never really cared for the new E60 5 series design before, the styling on the M5 is stunning. Needless to say I bought the car for it's performance and it has exceeded every expectation. It can ride like a top of the line luxury sedan and with the push of a button, you will feel like you are in a race car ready for the track!

2006 BMW M5 Review:
This is an excellent vehicle. It feels as if you are driving a car from the future because of the extreme horsepower and the simple luxury.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW M5?
SMG-III shifts like a cannon, or a marshmallow, depending on the setting. Very fast. M-Mode is a blast. Fastest BMW ever made. I-Drive has been improved. Active seat-bolsters are an ABSOLUTE MUST. Options are a very good price compaired to other Euro cars (not mentioning any names, Benz)

Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW M5?
7th gear is deep in overdrive. That means no power without downshifting to 4th or 5th. Default settings in the iDrive are completely illogical. (Here's a hint.. turn everything off except A/C. There's total driving bliss.) It would be nice to customize more 'M-mode' settings.

2006 BMW M5 Review:
The BMW M5 has always been the leader of the performance sedan class. Overall, the power, handling, comfort is unsurpassed. My trip to the local dragstrip showed 12.2 in the 1/4mile, finishing at 117mph. Thats faster than all current Lambos, Benz sedans, pre-03 Vipers. The car has yet to disappoint me. but maybe I'm to preoccupied with the performance side to notice anything wrong. If you want supercar-like performance, but need four doors, this is the car for you. If you just want a status-symbol sedan, dont buy it. This car takes a certain breed of driver to appriciate it. It is more of a moneypit than most cars. I have averaged 11mpg, even driving within speed-limits.

Larger gas tank. No accessories available yet such as a car cover.

2006 BMW M5 Review:
The car is stunning and incredible once you see it on the showroom floor and then actually take it for a drive. I previously owned a 1998 540I and there is no comparison. I looked at the 2006 550I and again, no comparison. A fabulous car with many technologically advanced features. It is amazing to hear the sound of the engine when you start the car and as you wind up the RPMs. There is no doubt that there is a high performance engine under the hood.

The different gear settings! Allows you to be rough and smooth in different occasions

Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW M5?
All Wheel drive. Perhaps more power if this is possible!

2006 BMW M5 Review:
This is one amazing car! I have never ever been left with a feeling of amazement whilst being overjoyed behind the wheel of any other vehicle. The awesome power with control gives this vehicle the right balance between fun and stabilty. S6 mode is brutal and thoruoghly fun for a true driver. Loved it beyond all measure!
