Beschreibung
Absolute bargain.
This is the cheapest, running driving, solid, E34 M5, in the country, (probably thye world?).
Project, needs a small jobs (see below).
The car drives great, plenty of power and pulls really well.
I purchased this M5 in July 2020 from South Africa and UK registered it on the 1/ 5/ 22.
Fully UK registered. V5 in my name and address and correctly registered as an M5. My own personal vehicle hence a private sale.
This is a genuine solid car at a bargain price.
The dry South African weather and unsalted roads have preserved this car well.
If you are familiar with BMW, s of this era you will know that they rust like crazy, well this one is very solid.
Car underneath is totally solid and rust free, i have removed the sill covers and i can see no rust and no signs of previous weld repairs to the floors, chassis rails or sills. If you want a car that needs plenty of welding, this is not the M5 for you.
Bodywork is very good and super straight.
Mileage is 343, 066 kilometers , which is 213, 171 miles.
Engine and car runs great, starts on the button even after weeks of sitting, no funny noises or smoke and runs at the perfect temperature.
All electrics work.
I have spent approximately £3500 on recent new parts.
The car has covered 200 miles since the last mot and has just been sitting all year.
Was intending to keep the car, but another two projects are taking up my time.
