What makes the BMW M5 such a standout performance saloon?
Driving Experience
Under the bonnet, the latest M5 models feature a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 engine, producing up to 625hp in Competition spec. That means 0–60 mph in just 3.3 seconds – quicker than many supercars. It’s matched with a slick 8-speed automatic gearbox and BMW’s clever xDrive all-wheel-drive system, which offers incredible grip and even a rear-wheel-drive mode for purists.
Despite its size and power, the M5 handles with precision and agility. Adaptive suspension, dynamic steering and multiple driving modes mean it can switch from comfortable cruiser to hardcore track weapon at the press of a button.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the M5 feels every bit the luxury flagship. You’ll find premium materials, full leather upholstery, ambient lighting and heated M Sport seats with bolstering for enthusiastic driving. The driving position is low and commanding, and every control is logically placed and intuitively designed.
There’s plenty of space in the front and rear for passengers, and a large boot makes the M5 perfectly practical for daily use – whether that’s commuting, road-tripping or even the occasional school run.
Technology
The BMW M5 comes loaded with cutting-edge technology. Expect BMW’s large touchscreen infotainment system with iDrive controller, digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay, sat nav, Bluetooth and high-end sound systems. Most models also include adaptive cruise control, reversing camera, parking sensors and a head-up display.
Later versions feature gesture control, wireless charging, and BMW’s intelligent driving assistants for added safety and convenience.
Body Style and Trim Levels
The BMW M5 is available as a four-door luxury saloon with aggressive styling, M-specific details and a commanding road presence. Wide arches, quad exhausts, M badging and large alloy wheels make sure it looks as fast as it drives.
Key variants include:
- F10 M5 (2011–2016) – 4.4-litre V8 with 560hp, rear-wheel drive, and sharp, understated styling. Available with a dual-clutch transmission.
- F90 M5 (2018–present) – Twin-turbo V8 with 600hp (standard) or 625hp in Competition form, xDrive all-wheel drive, and a tech-filled cabin.
- M5 Competition – Tighter suspension, more power, sports exhaust and exclusive interior/exterior upgrades.
- M5 CS – Lightweight, limited-run special with 635hp, carbon fibre parts and a stripped-back performance focus.
Whichever version you choose, the M5 delivers supercar pace with saloon usability.

FAQs
Even if the car is in a zero road tax band, you still need to register it as taxed each year. The process is the same, but you won’t be charged anything. So you’ll need to go online or to the Post Office and 'tax' it (it will show a £0 fee). It’s important to do that so the car is officially recorded as taxed.
Our technicians are highly qualified and experienced. They are trained professionals who specialise in inspecting and preparing used cars to a high standard. Every car undergoes a rigorous inspection by our technicians, who have lots of experience in the motor trade. In short, you can trust that knowledgeable, certified mechanics have checked over and serviced your car before sale.
No, we don’t offer GAP insurance. You would need to arrange GAP insurance separately if you want it.
Yes. We we partner with HiQ to provide servicing, so you can absolutely book your car in with us for routine servicing. Just visit our Carsa Service website or call the service centre, and you can schedule a service appointment at a location that’s convenient for you. We’ll be happy to continue taking care of your car’s maintenance.
The V5C logbook is sent to you by the DVLA after purchase. It usually takes a few weeks; typically you can expect it within up to 6-12 weeks by mail.
We’ll provide the service history documents to you when you get the car. If it’s digital, we’ll give you a printout or email, and if the car has a service booklet, that will be in the car’s documents pack. Essentially, at the point of handover (collection or delivery), we’ll hand you any service records or tell you how to access them. So you’ll have the history in hand right away.
It depends on the car’s recommended schedule. Typically, cars should be serviced once a year or roughly every 10,000-12,000 miles (whichever comes first). If we’ve just serviced the car before delivery, your next service would likely be due in about a year from that service date. We’ll let you know the last service date and any upcoming due dates when you purchase the car.
If the car just had an MOT done as part of our prep, then your next MOT is due one year from that date. If it’s a nearly-new car under 3 years old that hasn’t needed an MOT yet, then its first MOT will be due when it turns 3 years old. We’ll let you know the MOT status and date when you buy the car, so you’ll know when to plan for the next one.
