So far so good. Had the car for about a week. Family of 5 fits comfortable entertainment system in the rear. Rides smooth and power on command. Fun to drive. Car goes from your daily driver to fun and enthusiastic car with the push of a button. Love the car and design.

Great Weekend Car - Amazing Power and Handling

I bought this car about a month ago with 28K miles on it and all records in tact. This car works perfectly for weekend drives around the city and especially on the freeway. It is also great for weekend trips out of town in 'comfort' mode. For a large car it handles well, and it has incredible power. I have had other sports cars before, which may have been a bit more nimble, but this one puts the biggest smile on my face when I merge onto the freeway. The car feels super solid and the audio is amazing. I love that this car is beautiful because it has a tasteful design inside and out - it isn't overdone and edgey (gaudy, if you will) like many other new cars these days (yep, Lexus (front grill) and Cadillac (all of it) hurts my eyes).

The beast is back!

I bought my M5 with only 30k, triple black with all bells and whistles, single owner - it appears to have been lived in a garage all of its life. I traded in a 2012 BMX X6M so I was used to the power of the engine but where I find the M5 topping the X6M is in the tranny - the 7 speed dual clutch shifts much faster than the 6 speed automatic. The car would spin wheels all the way until you hit 30-40 MPH if you floor it outright, so it is most impressive from 30 to 70 MPH - the acceleration is out of this world and no spinning tires... The cabin is well appointed, not too frivolous and finished with very high end materials - I find the seat comfortable but not as comfortable as the same generation X5/X6 multi contour seats - the M5 somehow has slightly wider seats so they do bot wrap my back as a jacket the way the X6/X5 do. The backrest width adjustment controls do not seem to be part of the seat packages for the 2013 model, I see them on the 2014-2016. All in all, the F10 M5 feels like a true luxury sedan that, when asked, can deliver a super car performance. I also find this M5 to resemble the most the legendary E39 M5 - has similar lines and the classic BMW front. If you are on the edge, just buy one and you will enjoy it fully. I haul three kids and a wife in mine while enjoying a true performance - very few cars can do that. In my view the M5 is the king of kings among the top sport sedans…

I have no complaints at this time with this car. So far just as good as my previous two M3's and 750iL.

There's nothing like an M5. I bought a 2013 BMW M5 a year ago and put on a 3 year warranty. While there a few costs to get it in tip top shape, it's been well worth it. 570 horsepower V8 twin turbo can reduce any traffic issues in a hurry. Great stereo sounds like your in a concert. Buy an older one and save money. 2013-2015. No need to spend a 100 grand for new one.

If you look up M5s they are amazing and if you even check bmw forums the only annoying this is the brakes

Shopping for a sedan for my family and self, I already knew nothing would compare to the BMW M5. As I can fully enjoy the limits of the ultimate driving machine, with a profound sense of safety even at Exhilarating speeds and turns. The comfort and peace of this beautiful car is nothing but breath taking. Years later and as I tried other vehicles for comparison, nothing beats the feeling of my M5. I just noticed it has massaging seats!!!! Mind blown!!! Still finding out new fun things. By the way, it’s too much car for any city. Haha you’ll know when you own and drive one.

BMW M5 The real ultimate driving machine!

The BMW F10 M5 2013-2016 is the absolute best sedan you can own. The car is so comfortable with heated, cooled and massaging seats along with Full leather interior comprised of Full leather dash board and full leather door panels it’s so luxurious. The car rides very comfortably too and can just cruise for hours. The can also be an animal too when you put it into sport plus mode and put the pedal down and unleash all 575 horsepower the car is so fast being a heavy sedan and shifts so fast it’s dual clutch transmission. The BMW M5 is truly the ultimate driving machine because it’s so comfortable and so powerful and so fun to drive but also it can be relaxing to drive if left in comfort mode. Put it in Sport plus mode and it’s a Ferrari smoking sedan.
