The latest M5 performance saloon combines a twin-turbo V8 petrol engine with an electric motor to deliver a staggering 717bhp. That's enough for 0-62mph in 3.5sec, but the M5 also offers an official electric-only range of up to 43 miles



Saloon

Munich-based BMW is most famous for its sports saloons, in particular the 3 Series and 5 Series. However, it actually builds almost every type of car imaginable: everything from two-seat convertibles to seven-seat MPVs.

The cheapest model in the BMW range is the 1 Series hatchback, which is a rival to the Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Volkswagen Golf. Meanwhile, at the other extreme is the M8&nbsp;grand tourer, which costs more than £120,000.

BMW was also quick to capitalise on the rise of the SUV and now has ten in its range: the X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 and XM, plus the electric iX3 and iX.

All of this makes it one of the big three German prestige brands, along with Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

As the flagship model in the 5 Series line-up, the M5 comes very well equipped. Luxuries include electrically adjustable memory sports seats, four-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, adaptive LED headlights, a heated steering wheel and a powered bootlid or tailgate.

New BMW M5

The seventh-generation BMW M5 looks more aggressive than ever, but that belies its easier-going character. Instead of squaring up to lighter, sharper rivals like the M3 or Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, BMW has shifted focus, creating a supremely comfortable and rapid continent crusher. It’s a formula that makes it more reminiscent of the Audi RS6.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Plush ride and the ability to cruise in near-silence </li> <li>Powerful and efficient engine</li> <li>Space for passengers to stretch out in the rear seats</li> <li>Exquisite materials and build quality</li> <li>Endless luxuries on the options list</li> <li>Sensible fuel and tax bills</li></ul>

If you’re in the market for a luxury car, you’ll be after a sumptuous interior, a ride that can soak up the worst of the UK’s pockmarked roads and supreme refinement that allows you to travel at speed in near-silence.
