2007 BMW M5 - Electric Vehicle Guide

The 2007 BMW M5 belongs to a BMW M5 lineup that Know Your Ride tracks across 4 model years, from 2006 to 2026. It is an all-electric vehicle, so it skips the oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust-system service of a combustion M5 entirely. It is configured as rear-wheel drive with a manual 6-spd. The 2007 sits mid-run, with both earlier (2006) and later (2026) M5 model years also documented.

The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, separate from the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Routine upkeep centers on tire rotation, DOT 4 brake fluid, G13/G12++ battery/cabin coolant, cabin air filters and brake service rather than engine oil. Know Your Ride lists 14 scheduled maintenance items for this vehicle, the earliest interval falling at 7,500 miles. Documented torque values include lug nut 88 ft-lb.
