The Appeal

For the E60 M5 BMW rewrote the rules. Out went the V8, in came a sophisticated Formula One-derived 5L 500bhp V10 quite unlike anything before or since. It’s the M-car to trump them all.

Not surprisingly, good examples are sought-after by enthusiasts who want supercar performance with saloon car practicality. This Silverstone metallic 2008 car is a well specified, very tidy example that has been thoroughly maintained. There is a run of 25 servicing and maintenance records and a clean CARFAX report. It was last serviced in April 2025, just 30 miles ago.

The car comes with all import duties and VAT paid and carries USA title with Dutch import documentation.
