BMW is known around the world to produce high-powered, expertly tuned vehicles across their entire range of models. However, when you really want the best of the best in terms of top notch performance, you'll likely want to give the BMW M5 a bit of your time and attention.

Granted it only takes 4.2 seconds to sprint from 0-60 mph when you've got the 7-speed M double clutch transmission at work. However, you'll really want to allow yourself a little extra time to appreciate the power of this amazing member of the new BMW lineup.

Its 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V-8 mill can crank out a total of 552-hp and a huge 502 lb-ft of torque. That's clearly a whole lot of kick. But the addition of a braking recovery system and auto start-stop make sure that when you're not tearing things up, you'll stay nice and efficient, even with those 8 cylinders under the hood.

In terms of design, the BMW M5 is one of the most stylish sedans you'll lay eyes on. It boasts the classic dual kidney grille, but a lower air intake lets other motorists know that you've got quite a bit of power at your disposal. Its long nose prominently displays several accent lines, adding to its refined appeal and aerodynamic stance. Of course, the interior is generously equipped with the latest in technology and convenience features.
