2008 BMW (E61) M5 TOURING

KEY FACTS

• A well-maintained example of the impressive ‘super estate’, presented in an ever-popular black-on-black colour scheme.

• Under the bonnet is the mighty 5.0-litre ‘S85’ V10, which produces 500bhp and drives the rear wheels via a seven-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shift.

• First registered in May 2008, this M5 was acquired by the seller three years ago, and remains original and unmodified.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in Carbon Black over a black leather interior, this M5 was ordered with a panoramic roof, heated memory seats with ‘active cornering’ bolsters, a head-up display, and rear blinds.

• Additional equipment includes automatic dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors and cruise control.

• It rides on a set of 19-inch five-arm twin-spoke alloy wheels, which are in good order but would benefit from refurbishment as there are various small kerb scuffs on their rims.

• The car will be accompanied by its stamped service book and various invoices for its past maintenance.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.

• Believed to be entirely original, the Carbon Black paintwork presents very well, with a few small marks and blemishes including stone chips on the lower front bumper and minor scuffs below the lower front grille, commensurate with the car’s age and mileage.

• Inside, the cabin is very smart, with some wear to the driver’s outer seat bolster and ageing of the soft-touch coating on some of the interior plastics.

• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard.

• The most recent MOT test was conducted on 15 September 2020 at 83,434 miles, resulting in a clean, first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This powerful estate car’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in September 2020 at 83,434 miles by SuperSpeed Sports Cars Ltd, which included an oil and filter change, as well as replacement of the rear brake pads.

• Prior to this, an oil service was performed in May 2017 at 80,825 miles by BMW specialist Brunswick Garage, who also carried out a more extensive service including replacement of the spark plugs in July 2016 at 79,285 miles.

• During the seller’s three years of ownership, they have also had the clutch, flywheel, camber bolts, control unit, relay and slave cylinder replaced, as well as having the wheels aligned.
