The Appeal
The E60 introduced a lot of progression for the marque's ever-developing 5-Series, and by all accounts made a bit of a sweet spot we may never see again; the handling, performance and rather distinctive Bangle-penned styl;ing made for an utterly remarkable car through-and-through - and the BMW M5 of this generation is just as well-regarded, thanks in no small part due to its naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V10 engine, a Formula 1-inspired powerplant that delivers an engaging driving experience unlike any other executive saloon of its era.
This 2007 example appears in smart condition for its age with a comprehensive service history and recent significant mechanical attention. Kept strictly to factory specs and very well-maintained, it's a fine example of one of the final true greats in the M-car lineage. Well worthy of your attention!
