7. BMW E60 M5

The fourth generation of BMW’s mid-size super-sedan, E60 M5 was produced from 2005 until 2010. For drivers looking for real F1-inspired technology in a luxurious but reasonable package,  E60 M5 remains the ideal choice. Beneath the car’s classy, understated exterior lies the fire-breathing heart of race car. The BMW’s 5.0-liter V-10 was developed using experience and expertise gained during the company’s tenure as engine supplier for the Sauber and Williams F1 teams. The high-revving power plant featured eight individual throttle bodies – just like a Formula 1 engine of that era – a lightweight aluminum block and a two-stage engine mapping computer, which reduced power output and fuel usage when not needed.
