A car dealer is asking for $280,000 for a coveted and classic E39 generation 2000 BMW M5 because of something he saw on the odometer.
The dealer in Naperville, Illinois, in the US, is said to be virtually holding the classic car hostage for just under $280,000.
Why? It’s a stunning shade of Dakar Yellow over black.
What’s more, it only has 633 miles (around 1,019km) on the odometer.

The classic BMW
As well as its original six-disc CD changer and factory Dakar Yellow paint, this coveted E39 generation 2000 BMW M5 is hiding something else.
Sitting in an Illinois dealership, it has only 633 original miles (around 1,019km) on the odometer.
However, before you check your bank account for the available funds, it’s worth knowing that the dealer is asking $279,997 for it.
That’s double the price of a brand-new one.
With newness in mind, this brand executive believes manual gearboxes are coming to an end.
The E39 M5
The E39 M5 is considered the best driving experience of an M5 of all time.
What’s more, it’s right up there as one of the greatest sports sedans ever.
Per dealer Bill Jacobs, it’s a one-of-one spec.
With fun and nostalgia prioritized over performance, it has a 4.9-liter naturally aspirated V8.
In addition, it has a six-speed manual and 400 horsepower.
With a classic color, factory navigation, and an OG six-disc CD changer, enthusiasts may well be tempted to invest in the priceless experience of going back in time.
