    $259,900

    Ask anyone who loves European cars to name their ultimate executive performance sedan, and there’s a good chance the BMW M5 will be the first thing they utter. The halo model for the 5 Series range has always been at the cutting edge of technology and performance, and over the years this luxury go-fast sedan has warped into a supercar beater in terms of its acceleration and awe-inspiring agility. It’s no surprise that all that progress comes at a price – the M5 starts at $259,900.

    BMW M5 FAQs

    Will my M5 become a collector's item?

    You should never consider a car as an investment, just a depreciating asset, unless you're lucky enough to have a rare classic Porsche or Ferrari in the garage. The V10-engined M5 is definitely a favourite with driving enthusiasts but it's unlikely to become a serious investment because of the number built.
