BMW M5 (E39) 2001

@shawtyoner sorry, but according to the rules, there should be only one production year listed. I've suggested 2001, because it was the year when E39 got all those awesome exterior (and interior) cnanges.

Sorry, updated.

My favorite "Future Classic" M5.

hey, I remember using this car in Need For Speed: High Stakes. This was one of my favorite cars at first I didn't think the M5 was any good because it was boxy and just looked like any other sedan; it didn't have that appeal like the Aston Martin DB7 did. But wow, its performance was amazing. I would much love to see this in a future GT game. 👍👍

I really hope that the BMW E39 M5 appears in Gran Turismo one day. It´s one of the most popular M model among BMW fans, especially among all BMW M5 models. And for me one of the most perfect and beautiful BMW.

I've also noticed that the E39 M5 has experienced a new wave of popularity in recent years. I have seen it on many different car platforms where it still receives new great recognition for its quality, driving performance and timeless design.

Interior sounds are exaggerated but a good overview.
