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.

Fred Stream Spotify, Radio Paradise, Jazz24 thru Android Auto. I have a lot of music and podcasts on my phone that I can bluetooth to the stereo. I use an app Folder Player that doesn't work with AA because Google doesn't like to free up the file system to AA.
Fred And why wouldn't they claim success? They are pretty smart folks over there and they can borrow from Audi who already have hybrids and EVs Not to mention their hypercars and F1 program
El scotto Your cell phone has a serial number. Everything in your vehicle that receives radio frequencies has a serial number. All of these serial numbers are in at least one database. Most of these devices are in a least two databases; who made the device and who is sending you info.For most of us our cell phones, anything from a satellite (Sirius, GPS maps), and the modem in your vehicle can be tracked. I'm not sure how hard it would be to disconnect your vehicle's modem but I would imagine it's very hard.The real question is: What is your being connected/being surveyed comfort ratio/level?What's the frequency Kenneth?
The Oracle Oh wow, figure it out Ford.
Jan Smith Did you hit up a level 2 charger @ ChargePoint? Please explain that whole paragraph because to an uneducated person looking to buy an EV that insert about EV charging would throw them off. 😄
