Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
A well-maintained, third-generation BMW M5 with genuine low mileage and long-term ownership is presented, boasting a manual gearbox and V8 performance. This example comes with a good history, including a stamped service book and original BMW bookpack, making it an attractive prospect for collectors.
Condition

The car is described as a 'tidy example' with 'genuine 89,654 miles' and long-term ownership (21 years). The service booklet shows 10 stamps, and while it has covered less than 3,000 miles in the last 10 years, it is noted as having a 'decent history file'. This suggests a well-maintained vehicle with only minor signs of use that would likely require minimal reconditioning.
