SUMMARY

The E39-generation BMW M5 was introduced at the 1998 Geneva Motor Show and was the first M-car to be powered by a V8, with eight individual throttle bodies as well as an involving manual transmission. This example is finished in a handsome colour combination and would make a natural addition to a wider assembly of millennium-era performance heroes as well as a superbly enjoyable retro daily driver or weekend steer.
