speed V10 engine generates a maximum out-
put of 373 kW and a maximum torque of
Your BMW M5 has a high-performance brake
system with perforated compound brake rotors.
Due to the special structural features of these
brake rotors, function noises occur during brak-

operating safety, and stability of the brakes.

characteristics yield a very broad usable engine
speed range. At the maximum engine speed of

Warming up
Also refer to Corrosion on brake rotors on
page 115.
The emissions control system causes the
V10 high-output engine to have slightly
rougher running characteristics during its
warm-up phase.
Drive train
When the engine is cold, the exhaust system
has a slightly metallic undertone due to the sys-
tem design.
In your BMW M5, particular importance was
attached to the direct connection of the engine
to the drive system. Due to the torsionally rigid
design of the drive train, the transmission of the
torque is also audible, as is customary in a
sports car. As a result, load shifts can be dis-
tinctly audible. This does not in any way impair
the function or the service life of the compo-
nents.
For additional information of warming up, refer
to Tachometer on page 66 and Engine oil tem-
perature on page 67.
