the M5 is the 5 series M version... M stands for Motosport and is also the performance division of BMW. The M3 is the 3 series M version... basically they have performanced tuned engines, nicer suspension, better brakes, bigger rims, etc

Most expensive BMWs.

And a little separate from the M letter, it originally was Made to kill porsches on the track.
