Used Car of the Day: 2006 BMW M5
Today we feature a 2006 BMW M5 that looks fairly clean.
It has the seven-speed SMG transmission, is all original, and has never been wrecked. There are 86,500 miles on it.
The clutch, flywheel, and slave cylinder have recently been replaced.
The ad copy doesn't say much more so feast your eyes on some photos.

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.

- TheEndlessEnigma Let's fix that headline, shall we? "It Turns Out That Car Buyers Aren’t as Hot on EVs as Ford Had Hoped". It's not just Euroweenie car buyers that aren't all lathered up to buy an EV, it's the car buying public in general.
- Dave M. Get rid of anything 4 cylinder. I know a lot can be done with them, but I have occasion daily with luxury cars and whether it's Mercedes, BMW or any other luxury or semi-luxury brand, 4 cylinders (turbo, supercharged) still sound like an economy car.
- Kosmo Resume the CTS V Wagon with 6MT!!!
- Ajla I'd also rather fix Jaguar. 😔
- Flashindapan I’m not an engineer but 30psi seems really high for factory turbo.

Why would a clutch and flywheel need to be replaced in an 86k mile auto? Probably talks to how it's been driven.
Put on Trabant engine in the front, driving the front wheels and one in the back driving the back wheels and you'd have a match made in Socialist Heaven.
