Fast estate cars have always been cool. But how often does one come along that can be classed as a "Super Estate"? SB are thrilled to offer exactly this. Not for the faint-hearted, this low mileage 2008 BMW E61 M5 Touring with its potent 5.0 litre V10 is rare, and presents itself in generally excellent condition overall. With 500bhp mated to a seven-speed SMG automated manual transmission with paddle shifters, this re-defines our preconceived ideas of what an estate is used for.
Absolutely, it can be used as a load lugger for mundane trips to the dump - see Alex Goy's latest video as he does just this - but this breed of M5 Touring is also capable of giving thrills that are normally reserved for low-slung, full-bore, performance vehicles. A Super Estate it is, and the next owner will be treated to smiles galore while they accelerate out of a bend at speed. This particular M5 Touring is being offered after short-term ownership from a collector that has deemed it surplus to their requirements. As far as SB is concerned, their loss will be the next owner's gain. If ever more thrills were needed, this car is being offered as a No Reserve auction meaning some lucky soul could bag themselves a serious bargain.
