Overview

For four decades, one car has stood at the intersection of luxury, speed, and engineering excellence - the BMW M5. The Super Saloon: The BMW M5 Story is a definitive chronicle of the machine that redefined what a performance sedan could be. From its hand-built origins in the 1980s to its hybridized future in the 2020s, this is the untold story of how BMW fused motorsport precision with executive comfort and, in doing so, created a global icon. Across generations - from the straight-six E28 to the thunderous V10 and the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive marvels of today - the M5 has balanced contradictions: brute force and subtlety, luxury and rawness, speed and civility. This book explores that balance in vivid, fact-driven detail, revealing how each generation shaped not only BMW's legacy but also the very definition of the ""super saloon."" Through engineering breakthroughs, design evolution, and cultural milestones, The Super Saloon captures the M5's enduring magnetism - its presence in films, motorsport, and the imagination of enthusiasts worldwide. It is the story of a car that became more than a benchmark; it became a symbol of perfection in motion, built for those who believe performance and refinement belong on the same road.
