BMW M5 TOURING

2007-2010

Price £25,000-£40,000

For once, BMW stuck it to Audi in the fast boot stakes. On song, and revving to 8250rpm, the 5.0-litre V10 is one of the greatest engines of the past quarter century. Reliability issues have scarred a few owners, though, so go carefully, and the engine did a pretty good impression of a diesel at idle, but for making the school run feel like a Juan Pablo Montoya out lap, the M5 brings a sense of occasion to the ordinary like few others.
