The BMW M5 Base Model - Manual, was a variant of the F10 BMW M5 that debuted for the 2012 model year. These high performance sedans were powered by BMW's S63 engine, which was a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 with an output of 553hp and 502 lb ft of torque. These engines sent drive to the rear wheels via a 6 speed manual transmission. Production of the the manual-equipped F10 BMW M5 Base Model lasted until 2016, when it was replaced by the next generation F90 BMW M5.
