Any automotive engineer will tell you that the key to dynamic excellence and driving pleasure lies in keeping weight as low as possible. The BMW M5 faces a serious challenge in this regard—tipping the scales at 2,435 kg (without a driver), it is undeniably a heavy machine.
And yet, it achieves the seemingly impossible: it remains thrillingly sporty.
This is made possible by a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined 727 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque. Performance is formidable—0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, and 0 to 200 km/h in 10.9 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h, or 305 km/h with the optional M Driver’s Package.
Its road manners are nothing short of phenomenal, managing to combine razor-sharp dynamics with everyday usability—perfect even for something as mundane as the school run.
Price: approximately ₪2 million.
