Standard options include power windows, climate control, active cruise control, head-up display, active steering, Harman Kardon Logic7 stereo system, ESP, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), voice control, adaptive headlights, night vision, active headrests, xenon headlights, run-flat tyres, active cruise control, LED rear lights, lane departure warning and brake force display.
BMW M5 2008 Reliability & Resale Value
| Reliability |

|---|---|
| Resale Value |
|
| Known Problems | Tyre pressure monitor may give wrong readings. Roaring sound becomes significant on runflat tyres after 20,000 kms, and some reports of low-profile ones losing pressure, but replaced under warranty. Steering rack may leak fluid out of end seal and into track-rod end gaiter. BMW claims "lifetime" automatic transmission fluid so dealer will never change blackened fluid during service intervals, so owners should get it changed independently every 80,000 kms. Battery may die overnight if the key is left in the ignition. The "check engine" light may turn on and a rattling noise heard from engine is due to leak in oil line for variable valve timing system. Speedometer needle may vibrate at idle, fixed by reprogramming. |
