The 2002 BMW M5 is a high-water mark in sports sedan history — where precision engineering meets everyday practicality. With its naturally aspirated 4.9L V8 (S62) pushing 394 hp to the rear wheels, the E39 M5 delivers raw power with razor-sharp control.
Timeless design, balanced chassis dynamics, and a 6-speed manual make it a purist’s dream — all wrapped in understated executive styling. It’s fast, refined, and unapologetically analog in the best way.
The E39 M5 isn’t just a performance sedan. It’s the benchmark — and still the one to beat.
