2000 BMW M5 review from UK and Ireland
"This car is a civilised monster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty climate control.
General comments?
This car is quite brisk, especially with the "Sport" button pressed.
It handles well for such a large car, but don't expect sports car levels of feedback from the steering.
The suspension is perfect for road use.
The cabin is perfect in all respects: a lesson to other manufacturers.
