Used Car of the Day: 2008 BMW M5

by Tim Healey

Published: December 7th, 2022

Today's used car of the day comes from the Illinois side of the St. Louis suburbs. It's a 2008 BMW M5 in the rare Interlagos Blue paint. It also has the Sepang Bronze Merino perforated leather interior trim and full interior leather package.

The seller says the car has never been in an accident and it has had a lot of routine maintenance done lately -- he or she even has the documents to show it. The asking price is $23,500.

As a reminder, that year's M5 had a 5.0-liter V10 that, when factory new, put out 500 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. That twist got to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automated-manual transmission. It rode on 19-inch wheels and had features such as dual-zone climate control, sunroof, heated front seats, and a navigation system.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Only the very bravest buys a German car so far outside of warranty.

The Interlagos Blue is very pretty though.

MaintenanceCosts This would be my favorite trim of Mach E if it weren't for the dumb-looking rear spoiler. I think the white wheels are dope, it's available in a great dark green, and there's an option to delete the graphics and stripes.
ToolGuy Another fine Mexico vehicle which I am not allowed to purchase.
MaintenanceCosts Is there any trim or configuration with a curb weight under 8000 pounds?
Bd2 What's ROI on that gonna be? Meanwhile Toyota and Hyundai are selling every hybrid they build.
Dartdude Joe Biden and the democratic party have to reimburse their donors. So any government contract first go the donors and then that have to take out their donation with interest and what money is left to build the project. That's the money cycle and why the government never gets anything accomplished on time and on budget. The climate change is just a POWER and MONEY grab plain and simple!
