Drove an 07 M5

[lummieCB7]

BMW added a 6-speed manual M5 for the US market cuz people demanded a fully manual version. It's the same transmission carried over from the previous model M5. the only drawback is that the traction control can only be partially disabled on the 6-speed manual.

2004 M5 and up they swapped to the SMG trans. And he drove a new bodystyle the E60 not the E39 which is the one your thinkin about. I love it I drove one too!!! Way out of my price range. It doesnt like the fastest shift setting in the lower rpm though kinda jolty but other than that it is a great car to drive and it pulls like a motha focka!

You're damn right!

I've found some specs on the web:

Specifications:
Year: 2006
Make: Hartge
Model: E60 M5
Top Speed: 198 MPH / 318.6 KPH
Position: Front Engine
Configuration: V10
Displacement: 305.1 CI / 5000 CC
Power: 622 BHP @ 7950 RPM
Torque: 589 NM @ 6200 RPM
Redline: 8450 RPM
Drive Wheels: RWD
Front Wheels: 20.0 x 9.5 IN / 50.8 x 24.1 CM
Rear Wheels: 20.0 x 10.5 IN / 50.8 x 26.7 CM
Front Tires: 255/30-21
Rear Tires: 295/25-21
Transmission: 7-Speed SMG




Specs in the 3 series:



The first thing that strikes you is the two-tone paint work, the special air-outlets on the bonnet and wings, as well as the HARTGE front-spoiler lip and the HARTGE rear spoiler. The 3 series BMW from the Saarland – to be more exact, the HARTGE H50 V10 – is a masterwork in many ways and not all of them visual. In particular, the HARTGE engineers and mechanics have achieved something very special under the thermodynamically optimised bonnet. Fitted with a modified M5 V10 engine, a 7-speed SMG gear box and the HARTGE modification to raise maximum speed from the electronically limited 250 km/h to 320 km/h, the H50 V10 puts all its power – 550 bhp and torque of 520 Nm (384 lb-ft) – onto the tarmac via a reinforced rear axle and a special suspension setup that is adjustable in terms of both rebound and compression. Also new and made especially for the HARTGE H50 V10, is the stainless steel exhaust system, which turns the V10 sound into an acoustic delight. Customers can choose between two dual round (or oval) tail pipes. The wheel / tyre combination consists of 9 x 20 offset 40 at the front and 10 x 20 offset 40 at the back fitted with 245/30 ZR 20 and 285/25 ZR 20 Continental tyres respectively.
