Thanks for the comments guys. These fetch anything from 6k for a average one to 11 - 12k for a minter with low mileage. I paid 10k for mine as its very very clean and have agreed value of 11k on insurance.
She's a 2003 so one of the last e39's. 106000 miles full history.
Remapped for 440 bhp!!

lovely looking m5, been looking for one myself, many dogs out there.
liking the indi's/headlights.
go on, how bad are these on fuel, my 330ci e46 is thirsty at an average of 22mpg, how much worse can an m5 really be?

That's what my M3 is averaging at the moment, I would have expected a 330 to have been better than the M3.

Lovely M5, I weighed up the M5 when I bought my M3 but I figured that the M5 would be more expensive to run. Still love them though

I'm averaging about 22 to be fair, but have never had it over 29 on a good run. It just won't do it.

Flooring it, I can get it down to 6mpg! Lol

Buy a good one or it will eat money faster than any cossie!

Had two e46 m3's and much prefer the m5 as an all rounder!

Cool Martyn,hope to see you in another cossie at some point then.I bet that M5 is a hoot to drive though,awesome machine for not a lot of cash really,it's just the fuel thing as you say.

Thanks.Lee.
