BMW's M5 was a simple concept: a production 5 Series saloon
re-developed for high performance by the Motorsport division. The
M5 was the car that really initiated the legend of the M-cars from
BMW. The letter M has been applied to a high-performance BMW as
early as 1978, but that year's M1 was an exotic supercar. It had
the right image, but the M1 was never going to bring in major
profits. The M5 was much simpler in concept. It was and remains a
production 5 Series saloon, redeveloped for ultra-high performance.
Manufacturing costs were minimized, allowing BMW to price the car
more attractively and still bring in healthy profits. This new book
charts the development of the M5 across five generations. For all
fans of the BMW M5, this book provides essential background. It is
packed with the facts and details that make the M5 legend come
alive.
