This BMW E60 M5 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 2008 BMW M5 is powered by a 5.0-liter V10 paired with a six-speed manual transmission and is finished in Indianapolis Red over black leather upholstery. Equipment includes 19″ Apex ARC-8 wheels, an M Variable differential, adaptive xenon headlights, a glass sunroof, and Park Distance Control as well as iDrive with navigation, a head-up display, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, Comfort Access keyless entry, soft-close doors, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control. The seller acquired the car in September 2014 and has since added approximately 25k of the 91k miles. This E60 M5 is now offered with owner’s manuals, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Washington title in the seller’s name.

The M5 features flared fenders and rocker panels as well as revised bumper covers, front fender vents, and quad exhaust outlets when compared to the standard E60. This example is finished in Indianapolis Red (A31) and is equipped with a glass sunroof, a decklid spoiler, adaptive bi-xenon headlamps with washers, soft-close doors, and front and rear parking sensors. The front bumper cover is said to have been repainted to correct clearcoat failure.

Aftermarket 19″ Apex ARC-8 wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires measuring 255/40 up front and 285/33 out back and showing 2018 and 2017 date codes, respectively. The car is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with M Dynamic Mode, and braking is handled by four-wheel cross-drilled and ventilated discs. The brake rotors as well as the ABS pump were reportedly replaced in 2017.

The cabin features black Merino leather covering the heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats, door panel inserts, and center console, while carbon-fiber-wrapped trim accents the dashboard, center console, and doors. Amenities include iDrive with navigation, a head-up display, Comfort Access keyless entry, heated rear seats, a power rear sunshade, a Harman Kardon sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control. The seller states that the iDrive system, including the screen, processor, Bluetooth interface, and control knob, was sourced from 2010 M5.

The multifunction leather-wrapped steering wheel features tri-color stitching and frames a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a variable redline, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 91k miles, approximately 25k of which were added under current ownership. An aftermarket shift light has been fitted to the top of the gauge cluster.

The seller notes that the rod bearings, VANOS line, and high-pressure oil pump were replaced in 2014. More recent service reportedly included replacing the power steering pump in 2019 and rebuilding the throttle bodies in 2021.
