The BMW 5 SERIES SALOON (2013-17) M5 4DR SALOON 4.4 V8 SS 560 EU6 DCT AUTO7 is a high-performance, four-door executive saloon: a spacious, luxurious alternative to an SUV, aimed at buyers wanting family practicality with sports-car pace. In the UK used market, it sits at the premium end of the 5 Series range. Mycarcheck.com records 578 look-ups covering 158 distinct VINs, offering a useful snapshot of buyer interest. Checked examples averaged £23,600 in private-sale value and 52,000 miles, with around 5,000 miles driven yearly. The average keeper count was nearly three, so reviewing each car’s history and condition is especially worthwhile before purchase. Its V8 and automatic deliver effortless overtaking, while the cabin suits commuting, trips and family life. Best for experienced drivers wanting excitement with daily usability, it costs more to run than a saloon. Against the Mercedes-AMG E-Class and Audi RS6, the M5 blends refinement with thrilling speed.
