We all know that M stands for magnifi cent – within the world of BMW anyway. Because whenever the company plonks an M on the butt of one of its cars, you can look forward to Something Really Hot. And, once again, that is very much the case with the brand-new BMW M5 – it is blisteringly quick. But the truly amazing thing is its clever engine technology; power and torque are 10% and 30% up respectively. However, incredibly, fuel consumption is 30% down. Gosh, that’s smart.
