Miles Overview
The 2003 M5 is BMW's high-performance version of the 5 Series sedan, the one enthusiasts cross-shop with the Mercedes E55 AMG. It's a driver's car through and through, with sharp steering and a chassis that makes you want to find the next corner. Inside, you get supportive sport seats, a clean dashboard, and enough room for four adults plus a decent trunk. Expect the usual E39 M5 quirks like a noisy VANOS and cooling system parts that need attention as the miles climb. The M5 takes the standard 5 Series and adds a race-bred 4.9L I8 that revs to 7,000 rpm, along with upgraded brakes, suspension, and a limited-slip differential. Power goes to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual, and you'll feel every one of the 394 horsepower as the tach swings past 4,000 rpm. Expect 15 mpg combined if you drive it the way it begs to be driven, which is the trade for having a V10 soundtrack in a four-door sedan.
