BMW 2015 M5: Why it’s Such a Hit

The 2015 BMW M5 takes off from all the staples of what makes the BMW brand the class act that it has always been all these years.

It is loaded with the proper ingredients that make it the king of its road. It is comfortable with its supple leather interior and its exactness of space. It can be configurable to one’s liking as it has the flexibility to be upgraded to the owner’s whims. Finally, just like many other members in its pedigree, it can be callously fast.

The M5 happens to be found in a sweet spot in its weight division. It doesn’t exhibit the all-too- manifest overbearingness of its bigger brothers. It compensates very well for the lack of sophistication in its entry level siblings. The BMW M5 is just right for the driver who wishes to harness a power that is huge enough, but not too huge that it takes away his mastery.

Nobody wants to be remembered as the driver who owns a car that’s just too great for him, not especially one who owns a BMW high performance sedan. The 2015 M5 does not tend to overshadow its charioteer, as long as he understands what the 560 horses under the hood can do.

Best you not be fooled by the silent banter in that idle V8, as it only takes 4.2 seconds for it to reach 60 mph. You need not crack that whip twice.

Last year’s 335i was BMW 3 series’ frontrunner. However, just before 2016 kicked off, the car was replaced with the more powerful 340i. This year, big changes are coming as the company is now showcasing their BMW 4 series, with the 440i at the helm.

The BMW 440i has a 3-L engine with a 6-cylinder turbo petrol. For its transmission, it has an 8-speed auto and a rear wheel drive. The car is definitely powerful since it reaches up to 322 bhp or 450 Nm of torque and it can go from 0 to 62 mph in just five seconds flat. As for its top speed, it is electronically limited at 155 mph.

The model is definitely turbo-charged, but that does not mean that it can hardly be revved up. There is also ease and simplicity when the driver decides to overtake in-gear, and stretching it out will leave him much thrill. The sound that the car makes is music to the experienced motorist’s ears and it does not have too much power, enabling the driver to fully enjoy the experience before he gets too fast.

Performance-wise, 440i fares excellently as it has great handling. The steering has two modes, the ‘Comfort mode’ and the ‘Sports mode.’ The former makes steering lighter, while the latter makes it a tad heavier, giving the driver confidence on those sharp turns. Finally, no matter what road it runs on—whether paved or rough—the riders will always be greeted with comfort.
