Regrettable sale of my beloved BMW E61 550i. An extremely rare car; 4.8L V8 550i Touring, boasting an incredible specification. Finished in Alpine White with contrasting Black Dakota Leather. Arguably the most sought-after colour and particularly rare to come across on an E60/E61. Imported from Japan in 2021, I'm the third UK owner. I'm also in the fortunate position to know the two prior owners to myself, so I can personally vouch for the level the car has been cared for over the years. Imports benefit from capped Tax. I pay 330 on it. It's currently on 72,500 miles and has an impeccable service record, totalling 15 stamps with all paperwork. I have all the import / export documents, the Japanese service book with every inspection sheet attached, a UK service booklet professionally translated and MISC invoices for tyres and service items. It's clear to see from the condition and history, just how cared for it's been from new. The 550i is immaculate inside and out. With only very minimal signs of wear internally to the drivers bolster. It is also HPI clear. Recently had all discs and pads renewed, and matching Pirelli tyres fitted. It has MOT currently until November, however I'm happy to MOT the car prior to purchase for the buyers peace of mind. It drives beautifully; Straight, quiet, comfortable, with the grumble from the V8 under foot when asked upon. No unwanted knocks or noises, the engine is smooth and quiet and most importantly has no oil leaks and no smoke from the exhaust. The 550i has been built with an outstanding specification, notable mentions are: -Full panoramic glass roof -Comfort, heated & memory seats with active cornering bolsters -Fine wood interior trim -Logic 7 premium sound system -Adaptive Xenon's -Electrically adjustable steering column -Rear window blinds -Adjustable sliding arm rest -Factory shadow pack (Gloss black trims) -Alcantara headlining -Factory privacy glass -Aftermarket Android/Apple car play unit, touchscreen, pairs wirelessly with added reverse camera. -Velour floor mats -Cruise control -Japanese flare I'm running out of space to type, so please do get in touch for more information. Viewing welcome, I'll gladly put the kettle on but wont entertain groups or people out for a free ride. Pricing is difficult, I've seen one other for sale during my ownership in black, 150k and patchy history for 10k and A dealer asking 17k for a lower mileage example. On that basis I'm asking 12,000 ono. Thank you.
