The fastest production car in the saloon/sedan class upon its launching emerged in 1984 when the BMW M5 was introduced in the Amsterdam Motor Show. This model belongs to the BMW 5-Series and touted as the higher performance vehicle among the cars in this line. Several 5-Series variants like the E28, E34, E39 and the recent E60 and E61 versions were the mold upon which the M5 was patterned after.

Originally, the BMW M5 was a hand-built car with a 535i chassis powered by a modified BMW M1 engine, making these units, particularly the E28 M5, prized finds among car fanciers or collectors. There are four versions of the M5: the left-hand drive of European specifications, the right-hand drive of British specs, the North American spec and the South African version. What makes the North American spec unique is that these BMW M5 versions all come finished in black with tan interiors.

Estimated Price Range for Used BMW M5: $9,000-$83,000
Estimated MPG for BMW M5: 11 City/17 Hwy
Available Trims: base
