2 keys
10 months MOT with sheet clear of advisories
Full service history
New vanos installed less than 10k ago
Voltage regulator changed October 2015
New Genuine battery in July 2014
Windows professionally tinted with a light tint
Remapped with dyno print out showing 560bhp
K&N lifetime serviceable panel filters
Lowered on Eisbach springs

Car fully correction detailed in April 2015 and protected with Carbon Collective Nano Sealant and a top up in September 2015
Front bumper professionally resprayed April 2015
Wheels refurbished in OEM silver September 2015
Always warmed up and cooled down on journeys
Recent 70k major service at Rybrook including all transmission oils and spark plugs
Folder full of previous work and receipts totalling to tens of thousands
V10 BMM plate included
Car is dent free and paintwork is on great condition after correctional detail
Car pulls as it should with no knocks or bangs and drives straight as expected
Will change antenna amplifier before sale as range on key could be better

Awesome car! Only owned it 12 months but due to a relocation and it being my only car it now means i have to commute a fair distance and that just does not make sense with V10 economy so i am looking at getting a Diesel to much the miles instead.

I will miss this car dearly and would not hesitate to get another in the future. It took some digging to find this little gem but it paid off in the end! I have come from Focus RS's, E46 M3's to B7 RS4 to this and it is in its own league for power and drive.

The car is currently booked in at Rybrook BMW for its 70k mile service which includes pollen filters, Oil filters and all transmission oils along with a full replacement set of spark plugs as to the service schedule. I have a folder full of receipts for this car and it has had no expense spared in its lifetime. You would be hard struck to find a better example.

£17,500ono

Blimey, you have certainly spent some money on it, whoever buys it will be getting a bargain. Lovely looking car and 561bhp! I dont think you will have any trouble finding a buyer for it.

Thanks for all the kind words.

The M5 had its 70k service this week at Rybrook for a major service including spark plugs, transmission & diff oils so its all good to go for the new owner. It is now advertised on Pistonheads.

Surprisingly good on a long journey and expectingly bad around town.

Get about 25mpg on motorway at 80mph an around 10-12mpg around town.

Price reduction. Understand it not the most practical of things to be selling this time of year and I think that has had an effect on interest as its not the sort of thing I would want to buy for winter either lol.

In absolutely no rush to sell anyhow so if there is no interest at this then I will store it until Spring 2016 and re-advertise as I now have another car.
