2008 BMW (E61) M5 TOURING

KEY FACTS

  • A low-mileage example of the E61 M5 ‘super estate’, lavishly specified and sporting a tasteful colour scheme.
  • Under the bonnet sits a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V10, delivering 500bhp to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shift.
  • First registered in May 2008, this M5 was acquired by its current keeper nine years ago and is reported to be in very good condition, including a recently replaced clutch and flywheel.
  • Given this M5 Touring’s very low mileage, it is understood that a full comprehensive warranty with roadside assistance would be available from BMW at additional cost.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

  • This M5 is finished in Silverstone II metallic over a Black Merino leather-trimmed cabin and with M tricolour stitching on the steering wheel.
  • The car rides on its original ten-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels, shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres and housing red brake callipers.
  • The specification includes the panoramic sunroof, adaptive xenon headlights, electrically adjustable M multifunction seats with active backrest width adjustment and two-position memory, head-up display, BMW Professional media with navigation and BMW Online, high-beam assist, and an electrically operated boot lid.
  • The car is accompanied by the full owner’s book pack, a host of invoices and receipts, and two keys.
  • The cherished registration ‘J999 ANT’ is not included, and the car will revert to an age-related registration upon its sale.

CONDITION

  • There is no known bodywork damage.
  • The Silverstone II paintwork is said to look very smart, with a few imperfections. These include some stone chips to the front end of the car, a small scratch to the offside rear sill, and a blemish on the rear bumper.
  • Moving inside, the original Black Merino leather cabin is in very good condition overall, with some minor creasing to the driver’s seat and a few small marks on the offside rear sill entry plate and indentations on the rear seat bolsters.
  • The car has no known mechanical or electrical faults.
  • The most recent MOT test was on 18 April 2019 at 40,520 miles, when the car registered a clean first-time pass. It will require a fresh MOT before taking to the road once again.

SERVICE HISTORY

  • The car was last serviced in September 2019 at 40,843 miles by CPC Auto Services, who replaced the engine oil and filter, as well as clutch and flywheel.
