Used Car of the Day: 2006 BMW M5
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.

- Redapple2 I ve slept on it. I would take one on a 3 yr lease for $199/mo- ($1000 down total). Evil gm Vampire gave me this deal in 2012.
- 3SpeedAutomatic Would prefer a non-turbo with a stick shift. That would be more fun to drive!!🚗🚗🚗Also, I could teach my nieces and nephews to drive a standard. You'd be surprised how many folks can't handle a stick shift today. Yet, in Europe, most rental cars come with a stick unless you specify otherwise.

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.
