The Appeal

For super saloon enthusiasts it doesn’t get much better than BMW’s E39 M5. This was the first V8-engined M5 and the last of a certain type of Munich motor that prioritised driver engagement over technological wizardry.

This silver metallic E39 M5, with its two-tone leather cabin, has been regularly serviced and maintained throughout its life and presents in good, usable condition. It has covered few miles since the last service in December 2023.

As entertaining as it is luxurious and practical, here is a chance to discover why the E39 M5 is so revered.
