Beschreibung
Considered one of the most versatile driver's cars ever built by BMW, the third generation E36 BMW M5 was an era-defining performance saloon that offers almost everything you?ll ever need in a car. The fire-breathing 394 bhp V8 engine wasn?t over-reliant on electronic management or over-complex guidance systems either.
My 2000 E39 BMW M5 has seen several long-term owners and comes with a positive maintenance record. Well presented throughout, with a very clean interior and excellent exterior finish, the car has also recently benefited from a full set of refurbished alloys to complete their recent tyres. It comes with a recent service and a fresh 12 months MOT with new front pads and discs on sale.
