The E39 generation was introduced in 1996 and the hype for the new M5 was significant. But boy, did the Bavarians deliver! In 1998, the new M5 came about and along came its superb 4.9-litre V8, the S62, delivering over 400 hp to the rear wheels via a desirable six-speed manual transmission.
Our car has had 4 private owners from new and currently shows 163.955 km on the odometer. Thankfully, it is largely in original condition, with the exception of Power Rohr rear mufflers that provide some additional base to the car's glorious soundtrack.

This example has been fitted with the front and rear lights from a post-facelift E39-era M5.
Equipment includes rear parking sensors, an electric glass sunroof, electrically adjustable…
