Vehicle description
This is a 2 owner car. Corporate owned and maintained. I have records for recent clutch and SMG work. This is a naturally aspirated V10 500hp car. It"s amazing to me that you can acquire this supercar for 8K less than a new Ford Focus ST. Take a look at the original window sticker in the photos. All the original equipment is listed. Car is in my garage. Pink slip in hand.
Engine
This V-10, designated S85 in BMW parlance, is yet another masterpiece of power from BMW M, setting a new milestone for the performance that can be achieved in a roomy
5-passenger sedan, with generous trunk space and all the luxury and safety features one expects from BMW.
Why 10 cylinders? Elmar Schulte, manager of engine development at BMW, has a straightforward explanation. "We wanted 5 liters. The ideal cylinder displacement is 0.5 liter. To get 5 liters, we needed 10 cylinders."
In its general layout, the M5 and engine relates to, and was inspired by, BMW"s Formula 1 engines the company developed from 2000-2005, also V-10s. In fact, both engines" major castings are done at the same BMW plant. Although unusual, a V-10 is a satisfactorily balanced configuration, requiring no balance shafts to make it acceptably smooth. Instead, the crankshaft incorporates two large counterweights. Reporting its driving impressions in the December "04 issue, Road & Track magazine commented: "Run up through the gears out of a slow corner and the engine pulls with a smoothness that easily rivals the [previous] M5"s engine, arguably one of the smoothest V-8s around."
Unique sound is a further attribute of the V-10. Even when idling, it sounds exotic; according to Motor Trend (December "04). "The yowling twin-five snarl as you sear toward max revs is an experience that etches itself deep in your memory. No, it"s not super-car loud - this car always retains the vestiges of sedan refinement, and you could mount a sustained assault on the Autobahn while the rear-seat passengers sleeps."
