2020 M5 Sedan Interior
The M5's price is justified not just by its power plant but also by its clean and classy interior. German build quality is as great, as always, while standard 20-way power-adjustable seats up front provide excellent support and comfort in equal measure. Thanks to its rather large body, interior space is not at a premium, although the extended leather upholstery and other high-quality materials add up to a premium price. Infotainment is also top-notch, with a stunning Harman Kardon sound system as standard. Behind the multi-function steering wheel is a gorgeous, and brand new for 2020, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

Seating and Interior Space
Getting in and out of the super sedan is not too tricky, thanks to large door openings and seats that aren't too low either. Inside, the M5 seats five in great comfort. While the rear seat is not as accommodating as in something like a 7 Series, legroom and headroom are respectable even for taller individuals. Up front is where the best seats in the house are, with 20-way power-adjustability and memory functions affording both the driver and passenger supreme comfort. Thanks to the wide range of adjustments, short and tall individuals alike will find it easy to obtain the perfect driving position. Despite the large body, outward visibility is fairly good, even when you need to see out of the back.

Interior Colors and Materials
As standard, the M5's interior is swathed in Merino leather, with choices of color schemes that include a light upholstery finish called Silverstone, a warm Aragon Brown, and the classic Black. However, you can also opt for a full Merino leather package in the same colors, which adds leather to the central transmission tunnel and the underside of the dash for $3,500. Other options include a full leather finish in Caramel/Black, Smoke White/Black, and Tartufo, all adding $5,000 to the BMW M5's total cost. However, to qualify for these, you also have to opt for the $3,650 Executive package, adding massaging and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a surround-view camera, and more. The Edition 35 Years model gets full black Merino leather with beige contrast stitching and gold anodized aluminum carbon weave on the center console, door trims, and dash. Where lesser cars get plastic on the dashboard, the M5 gets a softer SensaTec material as standard.
2020 M5 Sedan Trunk and Cargo Space
The M5 is a supercar slayer but despite this, you can still use it as a family car if you want to, with a large cargo area capable of holding up to 18.7 cubic feet of junk in the trunk. This is big enough to allow you to carry luggage for all five passengers with ease, and thanks to a large opening and a power trunk lid, loading is a relatively easy exercise.
In the cabin, a pair of cupholders exists for the front passengers, with another pair in the rear. Inside the front center armrests, more storage space exists, while the door pockets have space for more beverages and/or wallets and keys. The center console also has space for your phone, while a large glovebox allows you to store overflow items.

Other optional extras include carbon-ceramic brakes, four-zone climate control, power rear sunshades, massaging front seats with ventilation, heated rear seats, a parking assistant, and soft-close doors.
Infotainment
The standard infotainment system is a brilliant piece of kit, with a 10.25-inch touchscreen and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system as standard. Working in conjunction with the excellent iDrive 7 system, you can access various settings through the screen or the rotary controller in the center console, with the steering wheel offering input functions too. The setup includes HD Radio, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, a pair of USB ports, navigation with real-time traffic updates, voice control, gesture control, SiriusXM satellite radio, a 32 GB hard drive, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. If that's not comprehensive enough for you, a 16-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system can be equipped for $3,400. A rear-seat entertainment system is available for $2,200.
