BMW M5 - p/x considered
LAST CHANCE OFFER AT £13900 - The car is being traded in a week on tuesday
BMW E39 M5
2000 W plate
91k Miles
FBMWSH - Comprehensive history with no nasty gaps that all matches up with BMW UK database.
10 months MOT
Silverstone Blue (best M5 colour)
Usual M5 spec, plus BMW privacy glass option.
£1700 just spent on disc and pads all round, rear diff seals replaced, Rogue Engineering WSR short shift kit, full diagnostics and car checked out for faults (no problems), all carried out by Thorney Motorsport.
New Clutch fitted 3k miles ago.
Last service (service 1) at 86k miles, 3 green lights still showing so should get another 8-10k miles before next service is due which is only an oil change.
The car is is in all round excellent condition and is beautiful to drive. No expense spared, loads of receipts to prove.
I'm looking to change for an Elise £10-11k and a decent deisel family car worth £5-6k(Passat, 3/5 series, A4 or A6, mondeo TDCI) but may also consider a Forester or bugeye wrx wagon

Whats really irritating is that the car really is perfect, so people ignore the advert due to its top end price.
There are plenty of cheap, sh*t M5's out there but it will cost the buyer a fortune within weeks of buying the "cheap" car. Until you have owned an M car, you cannot appreciate the high the running costs!!!
I looked at loads of M5's when i bought this, and there were some real rough ones out there that looked a bargain, but in reality were just a serious money pit. I knew when i bought this car it needed the brakes sorting out within a short time, but the other bits and bobs (bloody expensive bits and bobs!!) that needed sorting were just what happens when you run such a car. Lots of people would have just lived with them (worn shifter, leaking diff etc), but me being me had all this small problems sorted so the car is perfect.So if any one out there fancies a real good M5, this is the one.
I will consider anything as a P/X or swap, purelyh because i am a tw@t who likes to change cars every few months
