Specifications of the BMW M5 E60 Shadow
The Shadow version is an upgrade to the regular 2009 version of the M5 E60 from the famous autoblogger - Eric Davidich Kituashvili.
Immediately after the purchase, it was decided to cover the car with a gold glossy film. Thanks to her and the name of the owner, this car has gained its popularity. It was broadcast on all television channels in the country, online media also covered the change in body color.
Having driven about 20,000 kilometers on the M5 E60, it was decided to sell the car. The new owner had an embarrassment in which the engine exploded. Everything happened due to the high temperature of the oil and the huge speed.
Eric decided to buy a battered car. Alteration began with removing the film and replacing it with a burgundy with an iridescent shade. The entire interior was also replaced, including chairs, door trim and a complete steering wheel redesign: a new braid, the BMW emblem replaced with the pit bull logo.
The technical specifications of the BMW M5 E60 have also changed. Electronic components were delivered, which are currently being put on the F15 version of the BMW X5.

Overview
As experience shows, engine power of 200-300 liters. from. quite enough to accelerate to 260 km / h. But not everyone can accelerate this way, since only an experienced driver can drive a car at that speed.
The difference between the usual “five” from the M-version can be seen with the naked eye. The front and rear wheels have different widths, and the exhaust is represented by four pipes, not two.
The interior of the M-version is not much different from the regular version, except for the presence of the M5 logos on the gear lever, speedometer. Armchairs are more comfortable in which you do not get tired even with continuous driving for many hours. The projection of the speedometer, tachometer on the windshield cannot be called a feature, since in the basic fifth version this function is also provided, but at an additional cost.
The technical specifications of the BMW M5 E60 differ significantly from the regular version. Transmission - sequential, seven-speed. There is an incomplete power mode that cuts off more than 100 liters. from. This mode is intended for beginners. In addition to this mode, there is a full power mode, thanks to which the engine power rises to its peak. The Sport mode does not increase power, but makes the reaction to the gas pedal more clear and sharp.
To increase the dynamics, you can also select the transmission mode, from the usual to the Sport mode. Using the screen, you can adjust the stiffness of the suspension, shock absorber and many other components.
The technical characteristics of the BMW M5 E60 engine depend on the configuration, of which there are more than 10. There are gas engine options (with the prefix i), as well as a diesel engine (with the prefix d).
You can not call the M5 E60 a fully sports car. This is a universal car, which includes both elements of a sports and premium sedan. To use the sedan on sports tracks (for aggressive driving), you should take the BMW M5 E60 with engine characteristics that exceed the basic equipment of the M5. But it all depends on the experience of the driver. With cars, like with motorbikes: if you choose an engine that is too powerful, you can encounter problems such as a too sharp reaction to the gas pedal, even if you reluctantly you can accelerate to the M5 at high speeds, which for inexperienced drivers is taboo.
The interior of the M5 attracts with its appearance. The seats are comfortable, leather. The gear selector lever is made small (compared to the levers that are doing now). The large display fits perfectly into the car, has great functionality. For more convenient driving there is a projector, which provides for the display of the instrument panel on the windshield.
The characteristics of the BMW M5 E60 impress with their variety. A large number of engine modifications allows customers to choose the perfect car.
