The Appeal
The E60 was a firm reboot for the M5 lineage, thanks in no small part to its 500bhp S85 5L V10 powerhouse. These are supercars masquerading as practical, four door saloons.
This 2010 example is finished in rare Alpinweiss 3 and comes fully loaded with virtually every factory extra. The vendor acquired the car earlier this year and has invested heavily to deliver the car you see in the photos. Notable work includes replacing the engine with an overhauled unit with new rod bearings and injectors, plus a new clutch and flywheel. The wheels have been fully refurbished and there is a new set of Michelin Pilot Sports. Alongside the luxury specification, it is fitted with a CarboProject carbon intake plenum and Eventuri filter housings. The audio system includes DIRAC and Apple CarPlay integration.
Perhaps not surprisingly the car comes to market with an advisory-free MOT which is valid to January 2026. A great opportunity to acquire a good E60 M5 where someone else has put in all the hard work for you.
The vendor says:
One of the highest spec E60 M5S I've ever seen. Ultra rare as a 2010 car, every option included. Full service history for the car (book and BMW printout).”
