2000 BMW M5 review from North America
"Greatest sport sedan on the road today...period"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only issue were the Mass Air Flow Meters which were replaced.
General comments?
This vehicle set the benchmark for the sports sedan category.
It is extremely powerful and rather nimble for a 2 ton vehicle.
Compared with similar vehicles..ie. E55 Benz & RS6 Audi it is more fun to drive due to the manual transmission.
