Service History

Ownership History
BMW UK was the first owner of this car. It spent the first 12 months of its life as the long-term review car for Auto Express. It was then purchased by a chap called Andy in the South East from Park Lane BMW. He owned it for about a year before trading it in for a Land Rover. After that it was bought buy a guy called Fraser who purchased it as a stop-gap car whilst waiting on a Porsche factory order arriving and he sold it to James Glen Car Sales who then sold it to me in September 2021. (Andy and Fraser are both members on here)

Some of the MOT dates (no advisories ever) reflect change of ownership and supplying dealers having a policy of putting a fresh MOT on the car as part of the sale.

My Ownership
I bought the car with 41,000 miles on it and am the 4th owner. I traded in an M4 Convertible, having scratched the convertible itch and wanted something more practical that I could ferry my two kids around in.

All of the upgrades with the exception of the front splitters, and rear spoiler and diffuser and MSS Spring kit were carried out during my ownership.

The car has had no expense spared on it and I generally tastefully tweak and upgrade every car I own before I get bored, buy something else and do the same again (I generally keep my cars for around 2 years). That's not the case here. This, quite frankly has been the best car I've ever-owned. I love it that much and the reason that I've spent so much money on it is that I really though that this would be a long term keeper. After only a year and a half, I feel as if I've barely scratched the surface of what this machine can do and I feel pretty torn about letting it go.

The reason for the sale is that I had the opportunity of getting a Taycan through work, which will create a number of financial benefits and so the M5 has to go. I'd love to keep it alongside but I already have another project-car and my wife has a car as well, so that's a non-starter.

The car currently has an HP agreement against it with my bank. This will be settled instantly on the day of the sale.

The car comes with two keys (Display Key & Standard) logbook etc. Private Plate not included. Original plate is YK18 KNP.

Beautiful car and excellently drafted, thorough history. Thanks for sharing the car's provenance. THIS is how to sell a car.

I know I've said this to you before, but those wheels are absolutely stunning.

GLWS!

Holy cow! I love it! Beautiful car man. I wish it was left hand drive and in the USA.

Beautiful car and great post! If this was in the US my brother in law would’ve picked it up tomorrow.

Best of luck with the sale I’m sure it won’t be difficult

Usual story. Good cars don't hang around for long!

Very true! Plus having one of the best for sale ads on the forum I've ever seen certainly didn't hurt.

Congratulations!
