This is for the buyer who wants supercar pace wrapped in a sedan the family can use every day. The M5 is BMW's high performance 5 Series, now with all wheel drive to put its big power down in all weather. It squares up to the Mercedes-AMG E63 and the Audi RS6 crowd, the fastest practical cars you can buy.

Simone's test covers the savage straight line speed, the surprising agility for a big sedan and a cabin that stays comfortable on the daily grind. The clever drive modes let you soften it for the commute then sharpen it for an empty road. On Australian motorways it is a quiet cruiser, then a weapon the moment you ask. The trick is keeping your licence.

If you want one car that does the school run and the track day, the M5 is the complete package. Buyers who want pure noise and drama may prefer the AMG. For breadth of talent in a four-door, this BMW sets the bar.
