The Appeal
The E60 is the saloon car with the heart of a supercar. This M5’s 5L V10 500bhp made it the fastest production four door in the world, an executive express to worry the engineers in Maranello and Stuttgart.
The key when buying a E60 M5 is maintenance. In particular you want to see that the clever 7spd Formula One-inspired gearbox is in top order, ideally recently overhauled.
This car ticks both boxes. There is full service history - primarily by BMW - to 89,550 miles in February 2024. It has covered just 1,000 miles since. And that all-important gearbox work was done by a renowned specialist at a cost of over £3,000 in 2019.
Beyond the appeals to the head, there is the emotional stuff. This car sports a particularly appealing colour scheme of Indianapolis Red over Silverstone leather and carries an elevated factory specification. Highlights include a heads up display, TV, sunroof and high beam assist.
The condition is a match for the service and maintenance history. This is a well cared for car in great order. The MOT runs to December 2024, giving the buyer a viscerally quick and rewarding saloon that is ready to go.
