2007 BMW M5 User Reviews

Pros

very powerful,nice engine sound,fully loaded and good handeling.

Cons

consume alot of fuel.

fun to drive and people look at it all the time.l love the sound of the engine as it accelarate. sports seats make you feel like you are driving a frrari.

Pros

Great high reving engine, spot on steering, great ride and understated good looks.

Cons

Fuel Economy, interior space and price

This is everything everyone says about this super sedan. Makes me feel like I am driving a race car with the slick SMG transmission. I find the SMG a delight once I learned how to use the paddle shifter. It's not like what everyone says.
If performance is important, you can get the cheaper Corvette to drive. If space is important, get the Mercedes S class for the same price. But if you need performance in an everyday car, this one is perfect.
The interior is a bit small since it's suppose to compete with the Mercedes E-class. The E-class has more leg room and shoulder room. So if you need something along the same line as M5, but with more room, you can also consider the E63....read morehide

Pros

Engine

Cons

Too many to count, see below.

Electronics interfering with the driving experience sums it all up. Too much electronic junk inside and too much getting between the driver and the road. Surprisingly poor performance if not driven in an ultra agressive manner. Very poor gas mileage (think 8 mpg mixed, not 13 city as advertised). Far too heavy. Interior materials showing wear in 3 months.Traded after 6 months. BMW is offering dicsounts to dealers to move this thing, and for good reason For posers, not for a real enthusiast....read morehide

Pros

Performance, especially high speed cornering, power, and ride.

Cons

6-speed manual does not have an off switch for ESP like the 7-speed SMG

The power is there. What sets this four door super car from the likes of Mercedes E63 AMG and the like is the far superior high speed cornering and emergency manuever capabilities. The AMG cars cannot keep up in these situations. The acceleration is only slightly better than the E63 AMG, but when it comes to high speed driving other than a straight line, the M5 pulls away effortlessly. Only downside for me is that the 6-speed manual is not designed for the V10 (unlike the 7-speed SMG)and consequently the SMG out accelerates the manual transmission due to the ESP....read morehide

Pros

IT IS JUST A GREAT CAR, BUT NOT SO ECONOMIC AS ALL SPORTS CAR.

Cons

IT IS A GREAT BOLID SPORTS CAR, BUT NOT JUST AS A FERRARI ENZO.

WELL, I RATHER PREFER FERRARI ENZO OR EVEN MASERATTI OR LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO AS LEGENDS, BUT THIS BMW 2007 MODEL 5 IS AT THE SAME QUALITY OF A PORSCHE, A JAGUAR, ASTIN MARTIN OR EVEN A LEVEL BEHIND OF A ROLLS ROICE BUT MUCH BETTER THAN A VOLVO, AUDI OR MERCEDES-BENZ.WELL, I HOPE IT WOULD HELP SOMEONE TO BUY IT....read morehide

Pros

POWER,POWER,POWER

Cons

OIL CONSUMPTION.

I JUST READ ALL REVIEWS, AM I THE ONLY ONE VISITING THE DEALER EVERY 1500 MILES TO LOAD UP ON OIL. THEY TELL ME NO. COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE GAS BUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION ON MY M5 IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Pros

Very fast as I imagine it would be out performs my 2004 S55 mercedes.

Cons

could have done a better job with the interior.

I'm impress with the speed for it's size.My expectations were confirmed when I purchase this Vehicle.

Pros

good mleage, good radio siystem

Cons

brakes clank

the car is excellent to ride in and drive. The car gets good gas mileage.

Pros

Supercar performance with room for the family.

Cons

No where to use it! Only getting 12mpg

A great value when you consider the cars that this car will out perform. Just ask the guy with the black Carrera "S" on I-5!
