Offered for sale is an absolutely immaculate, one owner 2006 BMW M5 with only 23k original miles, finished in ever ominous Black Sapphire Metallic over Black leather. Purchased new by the CEO of one of the world's largest company's, the car was primarily used as a daily driver for the few months out of the year that he spent at his vacation home here in Montecito. Always garaged and babied, always serviced by the dealership this is undoubtedly one of the nicest E60 M5s on the market, only being sold to make way for a new Aston Martin.


The car's Sapphire Black finish is absolutely stunning, the best color selection to cloak Chris Bangle's ceaselessly elegant yet masculinely aggressive lines. Marred only by a handful of rock chips commensurate with any 20k mile car, the finish is completely original with no accidents to speak of. Consequently all of the panel fits and gaps are factory perfect and the body is free of any dings or dents. The car's interior is equally flawless, showing virtually no wear to the seats, interior panels, suede headliner or carpets. The owner purchases all of his cars completely loaded with options and everything works exactly as it should. This extends to the car's mechanicals, which have been religiously tended to by the local BMW dealership to ensure the M5's truly amazing performance. One of the E60's biggest improvements over the preceding E39 is that the car can in fact drive conservatively if that's the driver's wish. But when the settings are changed in the iDrive, the E60 M5 becomes a brute, just barely contained by its wildly over-engineered leash. It's hard not to grin when you hear the throaty, precise rumble from the monstrous V10, feel your neck snap back when you depress the gas pedal and hold on for dear life as the car rockets from a stop, the optional SMG transmission crisply working its way through each of the seven gears. Not surprisingly, the handling and brakes are also truly impressive, BMW continuing to set the bench mark for the modern sports sedan.

Whether you're specifically in the market for an E60 M5 or just looking for an affordable supercar for your weekly jaunt to the grocery store, this car deserves your serious consideration. It's as close to showroom as you'll find and needs nothing but a new owner. Please bid accordingly.

We want this car to go to a great home, so please feel free to email me or give us a call at (805) 202-4557 if you have any additional questions. You can also visit us online at goodmanreed.

While I have a California dealer license, I’m not your typical dealer. I’ve always had an appreciation for classic and sports cars and have always bought and sold them to create a small revolving personal collection which has afforded me the opportunity of meeting many other interesting enthusiasts, including the owner of this M5. As such, this is a consignment car and can be seen by appointment at my warehouse in Santa Barbara. I try to give accurate descriptions of the cars I’m selling, but I’m not an expert and I encourage and am happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms my ability to make sales with other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. 

For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction's end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction's end. Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, however I'd be more than happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction's end. Thanks for your interest.

The List: The Red BMW - A Retrospective

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

We can't help but use this time of year to look back at the days before and reminisce about friends who are no longer in our lives. For The List, Jessi and Patrick were often joined by a little, red BMW 3 Series that, at times, felt like a third host of the show. Having been bought used for just a thousand bucks, the red BMW proved to be surprisingly durable. Through jumps, dunks and monster trucks, it remained our little trooper 'till the very end, and on the way taught us all how important a faithful four-wheeled companion is to the life's work of completing one's automotive bucket list.
For our last episode of The List in 2013, we give you The Red BMW - A Retrospective.

China’s Great Wall looking to partner with BMW to sell cars in the West

Fri, Oct 13 2017

The Chinese automaker Great Wall seems to have moved on from courting Fiat Chrysler. According to Reuters, the company announced in a stock exchange filing that it's looking to collaborate with BMW's Mini brand in some way. Reuters also reports that BMW is open to discussion. We reached out to a BMW representative, and he provided us with an official statement regarding the news. The company didn't specifically say it is talking with Great Wall. What it did say is that it has had success with its current partnership with another Chinese automaker Brilliance, but also that the company is interested in expanding the Mini brand worldwide and in China. The statement says that Mini's future strategy and expansion will include "diversification of partnerships and new cooperation models." It also said that expanding in China "is only possible with a local partner." That sounds to us like BMW is pretty interested in working with Great Wall. This move comes about a month and a half after Great Wall attempted to purchase parts of Fiat Chrysler. The company was reported to be talking to FCA to purchase the Jeep brand, and it later confirmed that it was interested in that brand, a few, or the whole company. But things seemed to fall apart when Fiat Chrysler's CEO Sergio Marchionne announced it hadn't received any offers and wasn't working on any kind of deal with another company. Now it may seem a little odd that Great Wall would shift from trying to buy an SUV brand, or a company that is beginning to concentrate on crossovers and trucks, to one that specializes in compact cars. After all, they're fairly different segments. Our theory is that Great Wall isn't necessarily interested in the specific products, but more that it's looking for a gateway to Western car markets. It's not something new for the company. As far back as 2013, the company made it clear it was looking to start selling cars in America. It also started looking into a manufacturing facility in Mexico earlier this year, which would supposedly supply vehicles to both Mexico and the U.S. Now when Great Wall announced its American sales intentions, it was targeting a date of 2015. That obviously didn't happen, and it probably has something to do with the company's products. Most of the cars under the Great Wall and Haval brands bear an uncanny appearance to discontinued models from other companies that compete in the West.
