The Appeal
The E60 M5's naturally aspirated 5.0-litre S85 V10 - borne of Formula One engineering - revs beyond 8,000 rpm and makes 507 bhp, a powertrain configuration BMW has never revisited. As these cars mature, they've only become more desirable. High-revving, high-octane motoring at its finest, with an aggressive exhaust note that's sure to turn heads. An original, well-maintained example is sure to attract plenty of attention.
This 2006 example, finished in Silver Grey over Black Nappa leather, is presented as unmodified and in original specification. Crucially, the headline maintenance items that define E60 M5 ownership have all been completed: big-end bearings, VANOS, throttle actuators, SMG pump, and clutch with flywheel. The vendor proudly tells us that the car is thoroughly sorted and drives exactly as it should.
The car has 15 service stamps and a folder of receipts from BMW specialists, while recently fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres with under 1,000 miles of use underline the current owner's attentive approach. The car has been dry stored over winter and used only in favourable conditions. It is ULEZ compliant and comes with three keys. image.png4.97 MB

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's own Terms and Conditions.
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, so we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, so it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
