2020 M5 Sedan Exterior

The M5 is a subtly styled luxury performance sedan, but it's still fairly easy to tell that this is the big daddy of the 5 Series range if you know what to look for. LED headlights and daytime running lights flank a large pair of kidney grilles, with gaping air intakes below. The front fenders feature the trademark vents that's common to all modern M cars, with the mirrors also subtly redesigned. At the back, a diffuser-style rear bumper and a quad-exit exhaust configuration is complemented by a svelte trunk spoiler. As standard, the M5 rides on 19-inch wheels, but Competition and Edition 35 Years models get 20s from the factory.

Exterior Colors

The M5 Edition 35 Years is offered in a single, exclusive color: the body is painted in BMW Individual Frozen Dark Grey II, a metallic finish. The regular M5 and M5 Competition get access to a lot more options, with no-cost metallic options including Black Sapphire, Snapper Rocks Blue, Donington Grey, Bluestone, Marina Bay Blue, and Singapore Gray. Other options include Almandin Brown II, Champagne Quartz II, Rhodonite Silver, and Azurite Black II - each of which costs a pretty penny at $1,950. Our favorite is the last option, a dark but deep paint finish with hints of blue in the right light that inspires images of royalty. However, the free Singapore Grey option is also very attractive in the metal. The only non-metallic color choice is Alpine White.
