Why This M5?
No mods, no tunes, never abusedjust a properly maintained M5. Since my ownership, it's mostly done motorway miles, and the trip computer proves it21 MPG when I bought it, now sitting at 22 MPG. You don't get that kind of efficiency if you're constantly thrashing it.
The rod bearings are done, which is a 4-5K job that most M5s for sale haven't had done. If you know these cars, you know bearing failure means a 10K+ engine replacement so buying one without this done is a serious risk.
I warm it up properly and cool it down before shutting it offthis car has been cared for, not thrashed. I'll even include pictures of the old rod bearings so you can see how clean they wereproof this M5 has been in the hands of enthusiasts.
Yes, There Are Cheaper M5s Out There...
but you'll struggle to find one with this level of care. Sure, you might find one with fewer miles, but those cars likely haven't had the crucial rod bearing replacement. If you know M5s, you'll understand the risk of not having this done.
Serious Buyers Only:
No group viewings
No test drives - I'll be the one driving (insurance isn't my problem)
No time-wasters or dreamersif you know what you're looking at, you'll know this is a great buy.
Why Am I Selling?
I genuinely thought this would be a long-term keeper, which is why all this work was done. But I recently got my taxi license, so I need something different for my weekend side hustle. Otherwise, I wouldn't be selling.
