Kickdown's Take
by Louis KalendruschatThe E61 M5 Touring is a real rarity among the M models, making it an exciting investment. The highlight is, of course, its legendary naturally aspirated V10 engine. The vehicle offered here impresses with its low mileage of approx. 105,000, its extensive service history, and comprehensive investments made in 2025, including the important replacement of the connecting rod bearing shells. A top-class M5 Touring!
A 2007 BMW M5 Touring (E61) in metallic black with black leather interior is available for sale.
Highlights
- Very rare M5 Touring with 5.0-liter V10 naturally aspirated engine and 507 hp – just over 1,000 M5 Tourings were built, while approximately 19,000 M5 sedans were built
- SMG transmission (semi-automatic)
- Collector's item, only 105,448 kilometers on the odometer (verifiable)
- Full service history
- Drivers Package
- Head-up display, rearview camera, soft close, keyless entry, cup holders
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto retrofitted
- The car has had several owners because it occasionally had an engine electronics fault. The fault was not found for a long time. The service history (see picture gallery) shows that a number of parts have been replaced. Ultimately, it was a defective connector on the hot film LMM sensor. The problem was fixed for €5.
- Approx. €12,000 investment in 2025:
- Major inspection including new connecting rod bearing shells, SMG clutch, Vanos lines
- Retrofitting of original BMW CIC + Apple Carplay/Android Auto (ex-works CCC; included)
- 4x new Pirelli tires (BMW star-marked)
- Bonnet painted due to small dent on the front left
- New brake discs + pads on front axle
- New steering wheel including airbag. Steering wheel was a little greasy and the airbags develop unsightly perforations over time (old part available; no accident)
- New SMG gear knob due to minor paint chipping from a ring on the finger
- New M door sills (in original packaging in the trunk)
- New front axle (upper/lower control arms/coupling rods) + chassis alignment

Questions and Comments
Technik: Beim Start des Motors schaltete sich zunächst das Leistungsprogramm P400 mit 400 PS ein. Mit Druck auf die Powertaste neben dem Wahlhebel stand im Programm P500 in Folge die komplette Motorleistung von 507 PS zur Verfügung. Ebenso änderte sich dabei die Fahrpedalkinematik hin zu einem schärferen Ansprechverhalten des Gaspedals. Im Modus P500 erreichte die Tachonadel bereits nach knapp 14 Sekunden die 200 km/h-Marke. Die serienmäßige Launch Control hatte daran ihren Anteil, sie sorgte für eine optimale Beschleunigung: Beim Start hielt sie die Motordrehzahl konstant bei 4.000 U/min, um dann schlagartig die gesamte Motorkraft in Vortrieb umzusetzen. Damals kannte man das System sonst nur aus der Formel 1 und von Supersportwagen. Der Kofferraum des BMW M5 Touring E61. Der Ladekünstler unter den M Automobilen – 500 bis 1.650 Liter Ladevolumen hatte der BMW M5 Touring im Angebot. Bei all der Rennsport-DNA geriet beinahe in Vergessenheit, dass das M Automobil jede Menge Platz bot: fünf vollwertige Sitzplätze und ein flexibles Ladevolumen von 500 bis 1.650 Litern. Die volle Kapazität konnte durch das flexible Umlegen der Rücksitze erreicht werden. Mehrere Urlaubskoffer und Taschen oder auch ein komplettes Rennrad waren kein Problem für das exklusive Touring-Modell. SCHNELLER SCHALTEN. Das sequenzielle, siebenstufige M Getriebe (SMG), das wahlweise vollautomatisch agierte oder mit den Schaltwippen am Lenkrad bedient werden konnte, verfügte über elf verschiedene Fahrmodi-Einstellungen: sechs für das manuelle Schalten und fünf für die Automatik-Stellung. Bei jedem Tempo und bei jeder Drehzahl stand die optimale Übersetzung parat, um möglichst sparsam zu fahren oder auf Wunsch das volle Temperament des Motors in Vortrieb umzusetzen. Für die sportlich puristischste Variante musste das ESP ausgeschaltet werden. LG Tom
