BMW M5 E60 - breakthrough in serial sports cars. Charged sports sedan BMW M5 (E60) BMW M5 E60 year release

History BMW. M5 began in 1979 with the debut of the BMW M535i E12 series with an engine, forced to 218 hp But this was still not a real M5, but only his harbinger. The true M5 of the first generation appeared only in the mid-80s in model row E28 series. The car, as well as the predecessor, had a row 6-cylinder engine with a capacity of 286 hp. Acceleration until the first hundred was only 6.5 seconds.

R6 also hit the hood M5 of the second generation E34, released from 1988 to 1995. At the beginning it was a 3.6-liter engine capacity of 315 hp, and later it changed its 3.7-liter with a return of 340 hp. Due to various refinement, engineers managed to reduce the acceleration time to 100 km / h from 6.3 seconds to 5.9 seconds.

The next breakthrough occurred in 1998, when BMW presented the third generation of already cult M5 at the Geneva Motor Show. This time, the Bavarians decided to abandon the row six-cylinder engine in favor of a more powerful 5-liter V8. The S62B50 engine provided 400 hp in the peak Now EMCA has reached the first hundred for 5.3 seconds.

At first, BMW wanted to abandon the development of the M5 version for the E39 series, referring to the fact that the BMW 540i is already quite fast. However, soon the solution changed. Competitors from Mercedes released a sports sedan sedan E55 AMG (W210). This time the BMW became the first M5, which was not going to manually.

The next generation of the BMW M5 E60 series is even more revolutionary. Among the innovations are not only a 10-cylinder V-shaped motor and a brisk gearbox SMG III, but also the opportunity to get a spacious sports station wagon. The car debuted in 2005 and was produced until 2010. In 2007, M5 simultaneously with the civil version survived a discreet restyling. In total, 19,564 sports sedans and 1025 charged universals of the E60 series were sold in the world. Seeing a little interest in sport universal, BMW refused to produce F10 M5 in this type Body.

Engine

5-liter gasoline V10 with a capacity of 507 hp - True masterpiece of German technologies. 10-cylinders, 40 valves and phase control systems Vanos. From one liter of working volume, Bavarian engineers were able to remove 101.5 horse power. In everyday conditions, the engine will use only 400 hp, but after pressing the "M" button, another 107 horsepower wakes up. Power 507 hp achieved with very high revolutions - 8250 rpm. The maximum torque of 520 nm is available from 6100 rpm. The first hundred on the speed indicator overcomes after 4.8 s (4.7 s for the version with an enhanced automated SMG transmission). The limit speed is limited by electronics at 250 km / h. After removing the electronic collar without much difficulty manage to overcomemagic barrier 300 km / h.

But in addition to excellent performance, V10 also has disadvantages. The sports sedan in the city is easily burning more than 20 liters per 100 km. If you often click on the gas until it stops, then the flow will grow to about 28 l / 100 km. BMW M5 E60 Owners complain about too small fuel tankWhile sometimes you have to fill it hardly passed 200 km. Nevertheless, this does not mean that on one tank you can not pass a large distance. It all depends on the driving style.

Everything can be used to everything, but not to malfunctions. What can be broken in the engine M5? First of all, the system of changing the Vanos gas distribution phases, or rather an electric valve responsible for its proper operation. If the engine bubbles as a diesel, then it should be rapidly delivered to the mechanics. In addition, there are cases of premature wear of the crankshaft liners, as well as the failure of the lambda probes (oxygen sensors) and both fuel pumps. Before buying, it is necessary to check the liquid in the hydraulic tank - there is no metallic sawdust there.

Technical features

BMW M5 is the front engine location, rear-wheel drive and high-friction differential LSD to improve the quality of the clutch of the wheels with the road. Torque is transmitted through a 7-speed sequental box SMG gear. For the American market, the M5 version with a 6-speed mechanic was available. On the front of I. rear axis An advanced multi-dimensional suspension is applied. In the crash tests according to Euroncap E60 earned 4zzards.

Typical malfunctions

The owners of the BMW M5 E60 celebrate too short lifespan. Sometimes it has to be changed after 60-70 thousand km. Complete and two-massed flywheel. The gearbox often capricious is to blame for this faulty control unit. The defect is manifested by strong journeys when switching.

Accelerate components wear and too frequent supreme starts using the Launch Control system. Its effectiveness is impressive - the car breaks away from the place like a rocket. But at that moment many nodes and components experience huge loads.

Another weakness - Too delicate steering amplifier. Active "taxiing" can end the service visit. Sometimes you have to change not only the steering pump, but also the rail, nozzles, and even a tank with liquid.

Conclusion

BMW M5 E60 is a car that does not need a presentation. Excellent challenges, the unearthly power and the powheldly sound of the engine are the qualities for which EMCA acquire. In the appendage you get a lot of luxury: leather seats, bi-xenon headlights, many modern electronic systems, high-class audio and many other interesting gadgets.

However, for all this has to constantly pay something. Excellent dynamics makes it possible to attend gas stations more often. And high loads on the transmission lead to unpleasant faults that cannot be eliminated cheap. Deciding on M5, you need to be ready for more frequent replacement tires and elements brake system. In addition, the car can not serve the first mechanics from the first income, since "EMCA" is all permeated with electronics. Most of the works require connecting to a special computer to calibrate the equipment being repaired. Unfortunately, few have experience service Such a car.

And I say stink: That evening I saw the devil. He was member of the posture and chmur look. From under black clothes, powerful combat armor was chopped, decorated with a tricolor complete with a number five. His voice was filled with primitive rage and heard behind the mile. From the wide nostrils there were couples, and in the forehead the white-blue stamp. The reverent thrill overpowered everyone dared to come closer to the representative of the highest devilish class.

Inside

Skin black leather, bloody-red flickering illumination, metal gloss - gloomy shelter dark car forces. Provocative in its time the interior after years is not perceived by the blasphemy over the memory of the ancestors. He documented and firmly assembled, and the tenderness of all the gaps technomalism is so organic with appearance that the complaints about the central console turned away from the driver from the driver are perceived by senile grinding.

1 / 2

2 / 2

As it should be considered to be the highest creature, M5 had the right to any capricious finish, but why break her head over the choice of wood when it would be inappropriate in any case. Everything is already invented for you, so only black leather and aluminum - as well as the concept of 2004. The configuration to the "full minced" lacks only top music. The chairs know many settings and hug a stronger mistress, but not to the detriment of comfort. Devices with concise fonts are aley, as inserted, and the rude M-steering wheel with the gayings is still irresistible outwardly and crouched as if under you. It is BMW, a real, original, and no i drive will change its essence.

In move

Even between civil versions E60 and E39 Technical gap is so great that sometimes it seems that another generation of the "five" was lost somewhere. But in the case of M5 is a real abyss. Wherever I throw a glance is a solid avant-garde, mixed on racing technologies instead of a proven classic time. "EMCA" as if reuboving anew, there was a technical jump so powerful.

Under the hood - five-liter motor rare configuration V10. Civil cars with such engines - to recalculate on the fingers. But in the "Formula 1" barges (at least 2005 sample) they were at every step. It is the experience of building engines for royal racing that was used by engineers to create a 507-strong monster, screaming, like BMW Williams cars. The box is the corresponding - seven-step sequent tape SMG III DriveLogic, cope with its work for a few milliseconds. But this is only the top of the technical iceberg.

BMW M5 E60.
The claimed fuel consumption per 100 km

Having mounted with ID RIVE, the M5 pilot can customize anything: the stiffness of the suspension, the sensitivity of the gas pedal, the stabilization system ... only one box has three switching algorithm and whole eleven options (six in "Manual" and five - in "Automat") Freight! Power levels are only two, but it also generates such a diversity of choice, which easily demolides the tower. This later comes an understanding that only two basic options, P400 (400 hp) is enough to nauseas in traffic jams and P500 (those the most 507 hp), when, breaking out of the office, you rush to meet the separation From Friday to Monday. Twelve years ago, it was ecstasy tech and a dream of a street rider, now - nothing special. Like acceleration to hundreds in 4.7 seconds. The level is just the current 540th.

But the exhaust, non-emotional accelerations of modern cars are nothing compared to the rage living in the last atmospheric M5. Take the risk of pressing the M button on the right steering wheel, transferring all the systems to full combat readiness, and one of the two will happen - you will either sob from delight or deprive like a one-year-old baby. Rone is twisted with wheels, I am rushing to catch the hook, "Emka" with a roar breaks off. The first two programs are only warm-up, but the remaining five will not be bored. A tangible pickup, starting with 4,000 rpm, is replaced by an even more frantic and protracted acceleration after 5,000 and to the cutoff itself for 8,250 rpm.

An unprecedented force simply smears you on the seat, leaving an idiot smile on the face of a blissful eyes. The roar and clang of the box with each change of gears shake the body and throw your body ahead, causing to hang on the seat belt. If you are not enough, activate the R500 Sport mode with even more acute gas reactions or test the Lound control, after writing a testament.

The whole attraction is available not only on a straight line, where "Emka", without blinking with the eye, one hundred and two hundred accepted over 8.5 seconds. M5, equipped with a reinforced aluminum suspension, adapted for increased loads, affecting almost the "half" weighing and rear differential with adjustable blocking, without reducing the speed enters any turn exactly according to the intended path. And when it is necessary, "EMKA" can be a good and non-strain, as the usual three-liter "five". Tight, but not tough, and therefore, the habitual suspension for BMW. The five-liter V 10, which has recently seemed unbalanced psychos, in civilian regime P400 is simply a cuticle who conquers its elasticity. With a robot a little more complicated: it will not replace a full-fledged automatic machine, it did not come out smooth, but not so scary SMG III, as it is small.

Truly, 2010 has become a black day for all the adept devils. So hardcore and brutal M5 did not see the light before, nor after (at the moment, at least). What a demon tepedaled by the Bavarians shake and mix the essence of Dodge Viper in half with L Amborghini D Iablo and stuff it in the body "five", no longer important. We will remember, bored and fear at the same time!

Purchase history

Who said that to M5 you need to grow and ripen? Nicholas is at all the first BMW! Before that, he traveled for a few years on Subaru Impreza WRX, but when you are offered to exchange it on Emki, it is not accepted. So, almost a year ago, avoiding long searches and trips to other cities, Nikolai became the owner of the M5 E60 2005 release.

Repairs

BMW, imported to Russia in 2008, to Nikolai managed to visit only two neat owners. The condition was appropriate: a well-kept salon and, most amazing, whole body in native paint. Even "improving", except made by one of the previous owners, M5 managed to avoid.

There was no serious problems with the car. Almost immediately after the purchase was replaced by the valve idle move (40,000 together with work), but a little later - throttle. The previous owner warned that the fuel pump on this car is akin to the consumance. Nikolai was ready for this, but decided to try another decision, putting a more productive gas station AEM. The item itself is a little more regular, but got up without any problems. The price is almost twice as lower, and most importantly, almost 10,000 km - no problems.

Exploitation

For an incomplete year, Nikolai drove to M5 a little more than 10,000 km. The car is used as a daily.

Costs

• Then with the replacement of oil in the engine (Castrol Edge) and filters every 3-5 thousand km - 15,000 rubles
• Fuel - AI-98, ECTO100

The most difficult thing was to find a competent service, but this problem has already been solved. Consumables are not spacecraft: front brake disc - 12,000 rubles, front pads - 10,000 rubles. Consummies should be attributed to both rubber - rear tires, if sometimes allow themselves to pants, will not live and the season. Regarding oil leaving - it is manifested irregularly and the flow rate does not exceed 500 ml per 1000 km.

Plans

The covenants and the efforts of previous owners will not be Popran: the main plan is to maintain a car in a decent condition, ride and enjoy. Tuning will definitely not be: Nikolai does not see any sense in this.

History of the model

The fourth M 5 appeared in 2005, two years after the debut of the initial "five" E60. The main news was the appearance under the hood of the engine S 85, specially designed for this generation "EMKI". In most markets, the dicked V 10 with a capacity of 507 hp, dispersed by M5 to the first hundreds in 4.7 seconds, worked in a pair with a seven-step "robot" SMG III. But for specially for North America, a six-speed manual box was in the database.

In 2007, the range of the Bodges was replenished with the Touring Universal, before that, only in the second generation of the model. The story of the most unusual EMCI in the history of the model ended in 2010. In total, almost 20,000 sedans were produced and a little more than a thousand Universal M5 fourth generation.

The fourth generation sports car from the famous division Motorsport was first submitted to the public in 2005. In the same year, he was launched into mass production. BMW M5 E60 is a truly revolutionary car that ahead of his predecessor in the development of years for ten years. The first show M5 has passed more than successfully. This car will conquered fans with a super-modern exterior, gorgeous interior and high-tech design solutions. External species The car was engaged in American designer and constructor of cars Chris Bangle. The engine designed a group of motor engineers from the Formula 1 team from the BMW concern. The M unit implemented its technical developments in more than 5 years in the fourth generation M5. What is the features of this car, learn below.

Reliability, problems and repair of the engine BMW M5 E60 S85

According to the current tradition, each new M5 is becoming more and more, it concerns the M5 E60, which has become unpleasually much. Consequently, 400 hp The former S62 would not have enough for successful competition with rapid Audi RS6 and Mercedes-Benz E55 / E63 AMG. Unlike all previous motors that were developed on the basis of civil engine engines, the S85B50 was designed from scratch and during the design used on sports P84 / 5, which was used on the F1 Williams FW27 boll.
The BMW S85 engine received a lightweight aluminum cylinder block with 10 cylinders, located with 17 mm offset and an angle of collapse 90 °, without sleeves. There are also oilballs for cooling pistons and aluminum pallet crankcase. By design, the block is similar to N52. The crankshaft reinforced, rods are lightweight forged, long 140.7 mm, pistons made of aluminum alloy, under the degree of compression 12 and with a compression height of 27.4 mm.
S85 Aluminum Cylinder Heads, with 4 valves per cylinder, with hydraulic components, and with a gas distribution phase change system on intake and exhaust double-vanos (close to that on S62). Adjustment inlet camshaft 60 °, graduation 37 °. Camshafts on M5 E60: phase 268/260, lifting 11.7 / 11.5 mm. The inlet valve diameter of 35 mm, graduation 30.5 mm, the thickness of the rod 5 mm. The inlet has 10 throttle valves in 2 rows of 5 pieces, on each cylinder its own and optimized receiver. The performance of the nozzles is 192 CC. Exhaust manifolds 5-1, equodline, one catalyst for each. Controls the engine M5 E60 brain DME MS S65.
All this allows you to get 507 hp At 7750 rpm with 5 liters of working volume and unwind the engine to the limit 8250 rpm.
The BMW S85 engine was installed on M5 E60 / E61 and on M6 E63 / E64.
For the younger model M3 in the Body E92, the engine S85 was simplified and received the name S65B40.
Replaced S85B50 in 2010, together with the M5 E60 stop and the BMW M5 F10 stood a new turbocharged V8 S63.

Problems and disadvantages of BMW S85 engines

M5 E60 Motor has a problem with premature wear of connecting rod liners (on all versions of S85B50), which require replacement every 80 thousand km. Such work is better to spend in advance so as not to get global trouble with the engine. Venos also require periodic repairs, although not so frequent. Otherwise, the engine is normal, if he was careful, did not overheat, high-quality and on time were serviced. Most often, everything happens not so, so before buying M5 E60 or M6 E63, the diagnosis is required.

Specifications.

Under the hood of the M-version of the 5th series, high-performance was concerned atmospheric engine V10 volume of 5.0 liters (designed specifically for this car), generating 507 horsepower at 7750 rev / min and 520 Nm of peak moment at 6100 rev / min. All traction was fed on the wheel of the rear axle, which was built-in a self-locking differential, through a robotic transmission of SMG II with seven bands. "Catapultation" from the scene to 100 km / h at the sedan, occupied 4.7 seconds, at the station wagon - by 0.1 seconds longer, although the maximum speed in both cases was limited to 250 km / h. Chassis The fourth-generation BMW M5 was represented by an aluminum suspension with a double-to-one and a multi-dimensional front.

"In a circle", the car was equipped with EDC shock absorbers with solenoid valves. On EMKE steering with the adaptive power steering amplifier, as well as ventilated disc brakes With ABS and other electronic assistants on all wheels. "M5" in the Body E60 / E61 is a powerful appearance, a luxurious interior, driver, excellent characteristics Dynamics, high prestige and practicality of the family car. At the same time, "Bavarian" is distinguished by a large fuel "appetite", small road clearance and expensive service.

Tuning engine BMW M5 E60

S85 Atmo. Stroker

Motor S85 has already from the factory has high power relative to its working volume and pressed quite strongly, but some reserve still remained. The most simple and frequently used way to raise the return M5 E60 is to buy a sports exhaust without catalysts (like supersprint), inlet Gruppe M, pulley and the corresponding brain setting. This will give about 50 hp If you add camshafts 294/282 to this set, DINAN choke and tune in, then the M5 E60 will show 580+ hp All this set will allow to go 1/4 miles for 12 seconds. Also there are a whale row that increase the working volume with 5 liters to 5.8 by setting the low-speed crankshaft 82 mm and the pistons of 94 mm, or the standard 92 mm (the volume will be 5.6 liters). M5 E60 with a volume of 5.8 l and with all the above described set, will show 620-630 hp

S85 compressor

Cheaper alternative to atmospheric tuning M5, there is a purchase of China compressor. The most common and proven version is ESS. Whale ESS S85 VT2, based on Vortech V3Si, inflated in stock motor 0.5 bar and will remove 650 hp A sufficiently reliable way to get good power. Do not forget to purchase skeeping inserts ESS. All more powerful whales require serious money infants and imply reliability loss.

SALON

In addition to the new engine and gearbox, the fourth generation of M-ki may boast equipped with a comfortable interior.

For the convenience of managing this sport car, a unique three-spin steering wheel was installed. Its thickness is enlarged. Steering wheel Thin black leather and is covered with threads of three colors. Under the mid-spokes, the petals of the gearbox control keys are conveniently located.

The dashboard is informative. Designed with chromium and highlighted with cold white light. Arrows painted red. For easy driving at high speed, you can use an additional display. Its size is 6.3 inches, information about the speed of movement and turnover is displayed. power aggregate. Immediately, the modes of operation of the SMG III box are displayed.

Leather seat upholstery with active ventilation and heating allows the driver and feel comfortable at any time of the year. For the interior drying, high-quality car leather from the new Merino collection was used.

On the thresholds and on the pedals placed lining with the BMW M5 emblem.

Restyling

In early 2007, the fourth generation M5 has undergone upgrades. Any significant changes lovers of Bavarian cars noticed. A new version The sports car from BMW received:

• some updated cabin elements;
• lED rear feet;
• changed daylight lights.

Test Drive BMW M5 E60

The concept of the development of the car fifth series lay down. As a result, it turned out a sedan belonging to the e-class, which is able to accommodate in the cabin to 5 people. The Germans turned out beautiful car with rear-wheel drive.

For the first time, the BMW M5 E60 saw the light in the fall of 2004 on an autowner. One of the leading developers was Chris Bangle. This American is not only a brilliant designer, but also a talented designer. Star composition was replenished with developers belonging to the team of formula 1.

The car debuted more than successfully. Many customers struck a very spectacular appearance of Kara. No less luxurious was salon. All this is complemented by the most recent technological innovations. Machine production began in 2005. It was then that the sedan was released.

Appearance car

BMW M5 E60, technical characteristics Which is enthusiastic and today has a very expressive appearance. Especially interesting front of the car. It is slightly stretched and has a wave-like surface of the front bumper. It adds to him some aggressiveness, perseverance. An even more emotionally looks like a radiator grille, divided into two parts.

It is impossible not to note very interesting headlights. There is a feeling that the car suddenly hovered and waits for something to make a rapid jerk forward. Massive, but not closed wheeled arches add to the appearance of some sportiness. Improverable wheel disks complement this picture.

From behind the car is somewhat less. The roof smoothly flows into the bumper, which is located high enough. An indispensable steel 2 pairs of air intakes. This decision can be found in many cars BMW. The car really looks very sporty, tightened. No exterior of some extra and absolutely unnecessary details. No wonder the Germans pay special attention to the functionality of their own models.

The car has air intakes with good aerodynamic properties. On the sides are the ventilation holes. For the assembly of the body used unique panels.

Vehicle interior

As always, the BMW salon turned out to be comfortable. There is no extra detail in its interior - everything is expensive, restrained and very functional. A high level of comfort makes the car convenient not only for drivers, but also for passengers.

The presence of various systems allows you to drive a car without any difficulty. It is ideal for those who cannot live without speed. Yes, and for a regular ride, this machine is suitable as it is impossible.

BMW M5 E60: Specifications

This model is a real technical perfection. For the first time in the history of the automotive industry, such a powerful 10-cylinder engine in a bundle with a 7-speed sequential gearbox was used.

The driver can adjust the stiffness of the shock absorbers, which allows you to drive a car during a soft driving. For speed \u200b\u200bregime can choose elevated level Controlness. The helm has an amplifier that allows you to change the ease of control.

So, the car acquired the most powerful motor at the serial car at that time. Petrol motor S85 has a capacity of 507 horsepower. This value was 100 horsepower more, compared with the previous modification. The machine can accelerate to a speed of 100 km / h in 4.7 seconds, 200 km / h - in 15 seconds. The maximum speed is 305 km / h.

Engine V10 - tribute to Formula 1

The power unit and the gearbox for the new sports car was developed from scratch. The new engine was radically different from the old one. Under the hood there were a V-shaped engine with 10 cylinders. This power unit has become a kind of tribute to respect the V10 engines from Formula 1.

In the early 2000s, V10 engines have almost ceased to be used in racing cars.

Motor was marked with S85B50. It could develop power up to 507 horses, and the maximum torque was 520 nm. The 40-valve atmospheric engine is able to disperse a new M-ku up to 100 km / h in just 4.7 seconds.

Under the hood, posted a V-shaped engine with 10 cylinders

In the usual configuration maximum speedwhich is capable of developing a new M5, "stupid" electronics. Remove the restriction of 250 km / h in an additional fee. Then the BMW M5 in the Body E60 is able to develop the maximum speed of 330 km / h. No wonder Many experts called this car the fastest of those that are produced serially.

It was possible to achieve such dynamic indicators at the expense of innovative solutions and the experience of the BMW team in Formula 1 races. Here are some innovations:
