Hollywood Car Films releases their first episode from an upcoming series of films on cars. First guest: the E60 BMW M5. With the replacement M5 just around the corner, the folks at Hollywood Car Films wanted to take one last look at what made the E60 such a memorable benchmark.

The E60 M5, introduced in 2005, was powered by a V10 naturally-aspirated petrol engine. The 4,999 cc V10 S85 engine was redlining at 8250 rpm, and developing a peak output of 500 horsepower and 520 Nm (380 lb-ft) of torque. The BMW M5, along with the E63/64 BMW M6, were designed to use the new Getrag SMG III single-clutch seven speed semi-automatic transmission.

Oh, did we mention that Kristen Lee, the host, does an amazing job in the video?
