With the all-new 2010 BMW 5 Series now on sale around the world and the flagship next-generation M5 in development, BMW has called it a day on the current V10-powered M5.
Yes, after five years and exactly 20,548 units built - composed of 19,523 saloons and 1025 examples of the M5 Touring - production of the E60 M5 has officially ended this week.
The outgoing M5 holds something of a record for BMW, being the best selling M5 ever - despite being on sale for a year less than the E39 M5 that it replaced.
The good majority of M5s were snapped up in the US, American buyers taking home a full 8800 units.
Great Britain and Ireland claimed 1776 examples, and BMW's home market of Germany followed with 1647 units. Japan wasn't far behind, with 1357 sales, and Italian enthusiasts claimed 512 units.
