2008 BMW M5

Asking $42,000
2008 BMW M5

Overview

Showing 73k miles, this E60 M5 benefits from a long list of maintenance and looks to have been well cared for. It is riding a bit lower thanks to H&R lowering springs, and an Eisenmann exhaust lets the glorious high-revving S85 V10 be heard. The rod bearings and throttle actuators have been taken care of for peace of mind, and given all the recent maintenance this example looks to be well sorted and ready for its next adventure.
