The E60 M5 was introduced in 2005. It has a 4,999 cc (305.1 cu in) BMW V10 S85 engine redlining at 8250 rpm, and developing a peak output of 507 bhp and 380 lb·ft of torque. Unlike some other BMW engines which utilise Valvetronic to infinitely vary valve lift to eliminate the throttle plate, this engine has individual throttle bodies per cylinder.
Other key features include a stiffened aluminium chassis and a 7-speed SMG III semi-automatic transmission. Front fog lights are unavailable for the E60 M5, as the amount of air required by the engine forces the spaces under the bumper, normally occupied by fog lights in other E60 cars, to be reallocated for air intakes.
