Used BMW M5 Touring (E61) 5.0 V10 SMG for saleIndianapolis Red Metallic Paint Sepang Bronze Leather Excellent condition all round aside from a few minor marks as expected for a car of this age. I have owned it for 3 years. No dents. All wheels recently refurbished and unmarked with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres with reasonable tread. Rod bearings were changed before I purchased the car at around 90k miles (old bearings available for inspection). A valve spring snapped at 113k miles which left no internal damage but required a rebuild of that head with a new valve. I opted to have all 40 valve springs replaced at the same time for peace of mind (as well as stem seals and all related parts), plus engine mounts. SMG clutch was inspected at the time and did not need replacing. All work carried out by Walkers Autotech in Surrey (Independent BMW Specialist). VANOS solenoids were replaced this year. Both throttle actuators were also replaced with rebuilt units very recently. New windscreen. Original manuals, service book and keys will be provided, plus a large amount of documentation for services and repair work over the years. MOT until January 2024. No advisories on past 2 MOTs. Advisory related to oil leak from diff in 2021 was fixed shortly after MOT.
