Description
An exceptionally rare BMW Individual M5 Touring (E61), powered by the legendary 5.0-litre V10 engine producing 507 hp. With just 1,025 examples manufactured worldwide, including 803 left-hand-drive cars, the E61 M5 Touring is already a highly desirable modern classic.
This particular example stands out thanks to its exceptionally rare BMW Individual factory specification, believed to be unique worldwide. Finished in stunning Azurite Black Metallic with exclusive Platinum Merino leather, Piano Black interior trim and extensive Alcantara detailing, it represents a remarkable combination of performance, luxury and individuality.
According to the owner's research, only 12 M5 Tourings were produced in Azurite Black Metallic. Of these, just two received the exclusive Platinum Merino leather interior, and only one was specified with perforated leather upholstery featuring seat heating and ventilation — this very car.
With just 97,100 km and only three private owners from new, this BMW M5 Touring was first registered in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, where it remained with its original owner until being imported to Sweden in 2012. Since then, it has had just two Swedish owners, including the current BMW enthusiast, who has owned the car since 2014. Meticulously maintained with an extensive and well-documented history, the car has been driven exclusively during the summer months and stored in a heated garage throughout the winter.
History and Maintenance
The car comes with a comprehensive service history, including its original stamped service book, supporting invoices and a traceable ownership history dating back to new.
Maintenance has been carried out regularly, with particular attention given to preventative work and the known maintenance requirements of the E61 M5.
Recent work includes:
- 2026: Four new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres.
- 2026: New right-front alloy wheel.
- 2026: Wheel alignment.
- 2026: Replacement rear differential seals.
- 2026: New rear wheel bearings.
- 2024: Replacement bonnet gas struts.
- 2024: New original BMW bonnet heat shield.
- Replacement of the rear tailgate glass opening motor.
- Inspection and replacement of the throttle actuator control system, including associated linkages and components.
- Replacement windscreen during the current owner's first year of ownership.
- Regular engine oil servicing, brake fluid changes and scheduled maintenance.
The SMG III gearbox and original engine connecting rod bearings are reported to be functioning without issues. The car starts, idles and changes gear smoothly, delivering the unmistakable sound and performance of BMW's naturally aspirated V10 engine.
Exclusive BMW Individual Specification
The factory specification includes Azurite Black Metallic paintwork, Platinum Merino leather upholstery with perforated seat sections, Piano Black decorative trim and extensive Alcantara detailing.
The interior is particularly special, featuring Platinum Merino leather with matching stitching and piping, Alcantara-trimmed dashboard and interior panels, Lotus White Alcantara headlining and Platinum Alcantara sun visors.
These details are documented as part of the original BMW Individual factory specification rather than later modifications.
The car is also exceptionally well equipped, with highlights including:
- Panoramic glass sunroof.
- Head-up display.
- Professional navigation and updated CIC iDrive system.
- Comfort Access and soft-close doors.
- Electrically adjustable seats with memory.
- Heated front and rear seats.
- Ventilated leather upholstery.
- Adaptive Xenon headlights.
- Professional Hi-Fi system.
- Park Distance Control.
- Heated steering wheel.
- Anthracite and Alcantara interior detailing.
Exterior and Condition
The car has been carefully maintained and preserved throughout the current ownership. The exclusive Azurite Black Metallic paintwork gives the M5 Touring an understated yet distinctive appearance, perfectly suited to its character as a high-performance estate.
One minor cosmetic point worth mentioning is a small rust blister on the right-hand side of the separately opening rear tailgate glass. The owner investigated having this repaired but decided to leave the area untouched after being advised that an exact colour match of the special BMW Individual metallic finish could not be guaranteed.
Summary
A well-documented and meticulously maintained modern performance classic, offering a rare opportunity for the BMW enthusiast or collector seeking something genuinely different.
