Model history

The BMW M5 was first introduced in 1984 and is based on the 5 Series. Equipped with a modified M1 engine, it was the fastest production sedan of its time. Since then, the M5 has been built in every model generation with few interruptions. In addition to the classic sedan, it was also available as a touring model in selected years. To this day, the M5 stands for a unique combination of everyday practicality and high performance.
