Part of a dying breed. So true. Really does make me sad.

had this car been fitting wit a DCT or manual, it probably would be the best bmw ever.Can you imagine the demand for this car if it had a proper and long lasting gearbox.V10 in a family sedan, best of both worlds!!

What a phenomenal movie, thanks for sharing!
As much as I love my M5, one day I'm going to own the E60 M5 as there definitely is something about these V10 M5's. Got le goosebumps now

This was definitely the epitome of Naturally Aspirated motoring in a sedan.
Its amazing what this motor did and still does. The sound, the feeling, everything.

I say it often and I keep on saying it, force fed cars just dont deliver the same amount of thrill that a high revving NA motor does. There is just something about a motor making its power near the red line that evokes emotion. The feeling of that motor gradually opening up, that linear but brutal acceleration.
And BMW was able to combine this with absolute drivability. Sedate BEAST this! Love it!

+10000 The thrill of a N/A motor screaming at high rpm is just so :inlove:

Wow.... I literally got goosebumps every time she hit the loud pedal... And I was just day dreaming about one of these on my way to work this morning. Even just a drive in one would be a dream come true.
