This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Summer Sale 2023 on Saturday the 17th of June, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN.
The fastest saloon in the world at launch, the 5-litre, 507bhp, V10, E60 M5 was rather special
Peak power arrived at 7, 750rpm and this was fed through a 7-speed SMG Drivelogic gearbox
Performance was sensational with 62mph appearing in 4. 5 seconds and, with the speed limiter deactivated, 203mph was theoretically possible
This super example is finished in Silverstone II Silver metallic over a Silverstone II Merino leather cabin and sits on a set of bespoke 19" diamond-cut ‘Style 167’ alloy wheels
The comprehensive service history confirms 15 main dealer services up to 8/ 09/ 2021 at 83, 223 miles and a specialist thereafter
Current indicated mileage is 85, 250 and the MOT is valid until May 2024
Supplied with an extensive folder of history with invoices, the original book pack, current V5C and MOT Certificate
Chris Bangle's styling was a little divisive when the car was launched but over time the E60 just seems to get better looking
