BMW’s New F10 M5 will be available from 19 November and make its UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 30 June - 3 July 2011. It’s the pure embodiment of ‘controlled’ performance - more powerful and efficient than its predecessor with a 552 bhp twin-turbo V8 engine featuring valvetronic and vanos. It’s a completely different engine to the similar looking engine in the X5 M - higher revving, better breathing and different turbochargers with more boost (1.5bar vs 1.2bar). Performance is blisteringly quick with 0-62mph easily accomplished in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 189mph (with M Drivers pack). Perhaps the most astounding achievement is the CO2 emission figure of 232 g/km, which is a whopping 125 g/km better than its E60 M5 predecessor.
“All I want to do is drive an M5,” is a very popular philosophy, almost cult-like. Whether it’s the latest fifth generation model with multitudes of new technological features and mechanical innovations, or the iconic M5 (E28) from 1984 with 286 horsepower, the fascination over the capabilities of M Brand vehicles has always identified them as mavericks of the industry.

The BMW 535d F10 was chosen by Jeremy Clarkson in his latest DVD as the BEST CAR launched in 2011, because of the brilliant balance between all aspects : comfort, looks, power, fuel economy, space, price and handling. But still, Clarkson thinks that HIS Favorite car of the video is the BMW 1M, the baby car from the M division, mainly because of that FUN factor that makes the 1m a real JOY to drive.
