This 1999 BMW M5 is a sought-after super saloon in a rare factory colour, reported to be in very good cosmetic and mechanical condition. Under the bonnet sits the 4.9-litre S62 V8 engine, producing up to 294kW / 394bhp, coupled with a six-speed manual transmission. The car has been in the current ownership for five years and has been well maintained, covering just 1,200 km since its most recent service. This E39 M5 is finished in handsome Oxford Green, complemented by an interior trimmed in black leather and accented by brushed metal trim strips. The interior also features the original gear shifter and M Sport tri-colour stitched steering wheel. Equipment includes electrically adjustable and heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, electric sunroof, electric front and rear windows, xenon headlights, BMW Professional media system with navigation, in-car BMW telephone. Accompanying the car is the original handbook, navigation user guide, stamped service booklet, and original tools. There are also invoices for some servicing, including for the most recent work. There is no known prior bodywork damage. Its Oxford Green paintwork is reported to be in generally excellent condition for its age, and appears to have only minor stone chips around the front end, and a scratch and stone chip on the rear bumper. Inside, the black leather upholstery is in great shape, with no significant wear. There are modest signs of use on some of the plastic trims and main touch points, but the cabin has evidently been very well cared-for. The seller does report a few fading pixels in the dashboard instrument cluster, but there are no other known electrical or mechanical faults. The most recent roadworthiness check was in April 2022, with no faults or warning lights detected. Its last scheduled maintenance was in March 2020 at 110,431 km, when All Service Motors carried out an engine oil and filter change, also renewing the coolant, replacing the interior rear-view mirror, and checking the pinion seal. Prior to this, it received a major Inspection II service in May 2017 at 106,496 km, also including replacement of the microfilter, spark plugs and brake fluid.

It remains original and unmodified, and with relatively low mileage for its age. The E39 M5 blends impressive performance with everyday practicality, and this car would make a great daily driver, or a fine choice for weekend blasts.
