The basis for success.

The safety bodyshell of the BMW M5.

The bodyshell of the BMW M5 is notable for its extreme stiffness and resilience, while use of lightweight materials reduces its mass by a hitherto unattained degree. Together, both factors maximise passenger comfort on bends as well as safety. Impacts of up to 15 km/h leave no lasting mark as deformation zones on the front and rear bumpers protect the bodyshell proper from damage.
