2006 BMW M5 (E60)

Tidy and appealing V10 M5 showing just 86,500 miles with 15 service stamps; HUD, i-Drive, heated electric seats, sunroof and SMG transmission

Supplied new by Dick Lovett BMW of Swindon in May 2006 this E60 generation of M5 was the pinnacle of the 5-series range and is of course, powered by the mighty S85 series 5.0 litre V10 engine which produces 500Bhp at 7,750rpm driving the rear wheels via 7-speed SMG transmission with paddle shift (and automatic mode).

This attractive example is finished in light metallic blue and sits upon its original 10-spoke 19” alloy wheels shod here with decent Michellin rubber.

Inside, we find light grey leather interior, HUD (heads-up display), BMW’s i-Drive in-car entertainment with Navigation (disc in the file), climate control with AC, Power mode, transmission change speed adjustment, electric memory seats, traction control, on-board computer, multi-function steering wheel, cruise control, automatic wipers, parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, heated seats, heated rear seats, rear ventilation, DVD drive, electrically adjustable steering column, automatic Xenon lights and start/stop button.

The car shows just 86,847 miles which has been covered by our vendor and five others.  The history file includes the V5C, the owner’s pack and service book recording an impressive 15 stamps inc. PDI, the last by Alexander Autos, BMW Specialist of Portsmouth in March 2022 at 86,540 miles.  Prior to that, the last stamp included transmission work carried out by Suffolk Transmission Ltd (no further documentation) in addition to servicing at 86,197 miles in June 2020.  The car, we gather, has not seen much use during or since the Pandemic and thus is offered for sale.

In addition to the above, the file also includes eight old MOTs, plus the current, valid until March 2023 recording no advisories and a selection of invoices for parts and maintenance including a new battery in July 2019, new plugs and coil packs in December 2018 (£1,292), new alternator in November 2018 (£1107).

Ready to be enjoyed, these V10 M5’s go very well and sound superb thanks to their screaming engine with room for 5 and space for luggage, there’s much to like.
