About this car

This is the E60 M5, the only series-production M5 with a V10, a high-revving 5.0-litre engine derived from BMW's Formula 1 programme, paired here with the SMG automated manual gearbox. The page lists 500 bhp, and the car is a 2009 (59-plate) example, from the later facelifted years of the model.

It is finished in Alpine White with black extended Merino leather and carbon interior trim. It sits on 19-inch M double-spoke wheels (Style 167) and has the Logic7 hi-fi. The updated CIC iDrive head unit from the facelift is fitted, along with a CarPlay unit and an Eventuri carbon intake.

The mileage is 55,000. The page records a major service that included the rear differential, spark plugs, oil and filters, which are the sort of items V10 M5 buyers look for. The number of previous owners is not stated.
