KEY FACTS An exciting modern classic performance saloon, this is a right-hand drive example of the revered E39-generation BMW M5, presented in an attractive factory colour scheme and benefitting from a recent brand-new engine replacement.

Under the bonnet is a naturally aspirated 4.9-litre ‘S62’ V8, producing around 394bhp and 369lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

First registered in March 2002, this example was acquired by its most recent owner in December 2019.

The odometer shows a relatively modest 59,308 miles from new.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This E39-era M5 is finished in the attractive hue of Le Mans Blue Metallic, over a two-tone Black and Le Mans Blue embossed ‘Strauss’ leather-trimmed interior, featuring an Anthracite Alcantara headlining and trim elements.

It rides on the correct set of 18-inch ‘Style 65’ alloy wheels, framing gold BMW Performance-branded brake callipers, and shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres.
