If you purchase a vehicle in a different country to your own, it may be subject to local duties, sales taxes, or environmental levies when imported. You may find this introductory guide helpful, and our team is also here to help. However, you must investigate any duties or taxes that may be due on top of the purchase price before committing to buy. KEY FACTS This E39-generation BMW M5 is a smart example of the marque’s lauded super-saloon, in Carbon Black metallic with a distinctive blue and black interior. Under the bonnet sits a 4.9-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, delivering 400PS and 369lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via an involving six-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicates 167,520 km, which the seller believes is correct. First registered in May 1999, this example was Germany-delivered, subsequently imported to Luxembourg, and has reportedly had five owners in total. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This M5 is finished in Carbon Black over a black and blue embossed ‘Strauss’ leather-trimmed interior, with brushed aluminium-effect inlays on the dashboard, door cards, and gear shifter surround, and M Sport stitching on the wheel. It rides on 18-inch ‘Style 65’ alloy wheels, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres. Equipment includes rear parking assistance, an electric sunroof, electrically operated and heated front seats with three-position driver’s memory, electrically folding door mirrors, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, xenon headlights with washers, dual-zone climate control, a built-in BMW-branded phone, an electric rear sunblind, and a BMW Business radio with 6CD changer. This car is fitted with front and rear lights from the post-facelift E39 M5, as well as a set of Power Rohr rear mufflers noted to provide a bassier exhaust note than standard. It is accompanied by the original BMW documents, the service book, various invoices, and a history of MOT inspections, along with three keys. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery
