Used Car of the Day: 2006 BMW M5

by Tim Healey

Published: February 8th, 2024

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.

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.

Tane94 There definitely is demand for sedans and history will condemn Ford, GM and Stellantis for abandoning the segment. Hyundai/Kia/Genesis and Honda, Toyota, Nissan continue to invest in their sedans and redesign the models.
3-On-The-Tree its a simple questIon. As an educated “ADULT” I don't resort to name calling which is very childish. If a question is asked and the response is name calling that just means the argument has no basis or truth. I know because I used to teach critical thinking which is severely lacking today.

Akear I am counting the days when Barra retires. She has been one long nightmare for GM. People don't realize the Malibu outsells all GM EVs combined.
