Press Release Body = Pleasanton, CA: East Bay BMW, your only Bay Area BMW Dealer to
offer a free test-drive of the all new 2006 BMW M5, invites enthusiasts to
experience the uncompromising performance of the super sedan.

The BMW M5 still makes its position as the benchmark, even after three generations.
Each successive generation has extended the bounds of both performance and luxury.
The all-new fourth generation BMW M5 reasserts its stance with the first V10 engine
to power a production sedan. The new V10 produces 500 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of
torque. This new engine is mated to a seven-speed SMG transmission. With this new
powertrain the M5 offers the best power-to-weight ratio in its class. In the
tradition of BMW M, the chassis has been engineered to keep up with the power while
the exterior treatment is subtle, yet distinctive.

Stylish appearance, uncompromising performance - the BMW M5 redefines the term
high-performance sedan. Its high-rev engine, the 7-speed SMG Drivelogic and the
aluminum chassis introduce pure motor sport technology to the roads. Powerfully
modeled contours, unique M details and an interior which combines athletic
ergonomics and exclusive spaciousness underline the extraordinary character of the
vehicle. Appreciating performance has never been so easy.

The M5 Features First High-Revving Engine. This is the first application of a V10
engine in a regular production sedan; it also features double-VANOS variable valve
timing. Each cylinder has its own electronically controlled throttle butterfly.
Assisting further with performance the BMW M5 also comes with an MDrive button on
the steering wheel, offering a one-touch function that changes the settings on the
car to an enhanced sporting character. Once programmed, the driver just presses the
MDrive button on the steering wheel to transform the character of the M5.

The exclusive leather interior features sports seats. Other styling touches, from
the instrument cluster to the center console and the steering wheel are all unique
to the M5. Even the optional head-up display is M-specific.
