BMW dropping an 8,250 RPM F1-derived V10 into a 4-door family sedan in 2005 was pure unhinged genius... šļøš
In 2005, BMW shocked the automotive world by dropping a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V10 engine directly inspired by their Formula 1 program into a comfortable four-door sedan.
The result was the legendary E60 M5, a 500-horsepower monster capable of revving to 8,250 RPM and holding its own against mid-engine supercars on the track.
Featured in iconic Japanese Best Motoring circuit battles against cars like the Lamborghini Gallardo and E46 M3 CSL, the M5 proved that a luxury family hauler could scream like a Grand Prix racer.
It remains one of the most unhinged and glorious achievements in modern automotive history.
If you could bring back one dead engine setup from the 2000s era, would you pick the naturally aspirated V10 or a screaming high-revving V8?
What are your thoughts? š¤š
