    The BMW M5 F10 is a high-performance luxury sedan produced from 2011 to 2016,

    marking the fifth generation of the BMW M5 series. It was the first M5 to feature
    turbocharging, a significant shift in BMW's approach to performance sedans. Here's
    a detailed overview:

    Engine and Performance


    Engine: The F10 M5 is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 (S63 engine), a
    departure from the naturally aspirated V10 in the previous E60 M5.
    Power: The engine produces 560 horsepower and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque. In the
    Competition Package, power is increased to 575 horsepower.
    0-60 mph (0-100 km/h): It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in around 4.1 seconds (stock
    version), and 3.9 seconds with the Competition Package.
    Top Speed: The top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph (250 km/h), but with
    the optional M Driver's Package, it can be raised to 190 mph (305 km/h).
    Transmission and Drivetrain
    Transmission: The F10 M5 was available with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic
    transmission (DCT) as standard. Some markets also offered a 6-speed manual
    transmission, particularly in the U.S., catering to purists who prefer a
    traditional manual setup.
    Drivetrain: Unlike more modern M5 models, the F10 is rear-wheel drive, providing a
    more traditional and engaging driving experience for performance enthusiasts.
    Driving Dynamics
    Active M Differential: Helps distribute power between the rear wheels to enhance
    traction, particularly when cornering.
    Adaptive Suspension: The F10 M5 is equipped with adaptive M suspension that can be
    adjusted between Comfort, Sport, and Sport+ modes to suit different driving
    conditions and preferences.
    M Servotronic Steering: Offers variable steering assistance depending on the
    selected driving mode, optimizing handling at different speeds.
    Exterior Design
    Aggressive Styling: The F10 M5 features an aggressive front bumper with large air
    intakes, a wider track, quad exhaust tips, and subtle M5 badging.
    Wheels: It comes standard with 19-inch M alloy wheels, with 20-inch options
    available with the Competition Package.
    Subtle Elegance: The design is refined yet muscular, balancing the line between a
    luxury sedan and a performance car.
    Interior and Technology
    Luxury and Sport: Inside, the F10 M5 blends high-end luxury with performance
    features. Leather seats, carbon fiber, and aluminum trim are common. The M-specific
    gauges, head-up display, and steering wheel give it a sporty vibe.
    Technology: It features BMW’s iDrive system for infotainment, navigation, and
    vehicle settings. Optional features include advanced driver assistance systems, a
    premium sound system, and more.
    Competition Package (2014+)
    Power Increase: Boosts power to 575 hp and sharpens throttle response.
    Suspension: Lowered suspension and revised dampers for improved handling.
    Exhaust: The package also includes a more aggressive exhaust sound.
    Driving Experience
    The F10 M5, with its twin-turbo V8 and rear-wheel-drive setup, delivers a thrilling
    driving experience. The combination of immense power and torque makes it capable of
    blistering acceleration, while the rear-wheel-drive layout ensures engaging
    dynamics. However, some enthusiasts feel it lacks the raw, visceral edge of earlier
    M5 models like the E39 and E60, partially due to the turbocharged engine and
    increased weight.

    Competitors
    The F10 M5 competed in the high-performance luxury sedan market against:
    Mercedes-AMG E63
    Audi RS7
    Jaguar XFR-S
    The BMW M5 F10 is highly respected for its blend of high-end luxury, cutting-edge
    technology, and brutal performance. It’s an excellent choice for those who want a
    car that can serve as a refined daily driver while also delivering track-worthy
    thrills.
