Basic Information and History

A very rare BMW M5 of the E39 generation, manufactured in 2000 and imported from Germany. The odometer reads 215,000 km and the car has had a total of 12 owners. It comes with original books, including the service booklet and documented service history.

What makes this particular example especially interesting is its factory-ordered paint in Calypsorot Metallic – a color that was removed from BMW’s standard palette already in 1999. This M5 was built in 2000 and ordered through the BMW Individual program, which, according to likely available sources, makes it the only known example in the world in this color combination – a true one-off for collectors and enthusiasts.

Summary

This BMW M5 E39 offers not only performance and driving pleasure but also unique collector value thanks to its rare BMW Individual color specification. The combination of Calypsorot paint, manual V8, documented history, and unmodified original condition makes this one of the most compelling examples on the market.
