What makes a car memorable? The look? The lights? The appeal? According to Danny Hong, it's the sound... and boy does this 2006 E60 M5 deliver with its roaring V10 crammed into a lap of luxury. But it's too often that the unassuming sleeper sedan is left with a mere glimpse of its power. There's the niche. Create a truly memorable image that leaves people speechless and as ludicrous as it is shoving a 5.0L V10 into a family saloon sedan. It really does not get much better than that. It's neck-grabbing, no... neck-snapping ability truly honors the last of its kind. The last of the big motor saloon cars. I cannot think of a better platform to celebrate such a masterpiece.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION:
"Evolve Tubular Headers to IPE Full Exhaust, there's nothing like ripping through the gears at 8500RPM listening to that V10 motor assault the ear and the sound waves surrounding the car. I've gotten reports from hearing the car as far as a few miles away. It truly puts the boyish grin on your face and the noise is just incredible. Epic would not even come close to calling it justice. Every tunnel, every underpass, every lone road becomes your playground."
