The 5 series was undoubtedly the large luxury car to beat in the 1990s with bulletproof build quality and reliability.

I drove a succession of 8 BMW GB company cars covering 10k miles in each and can report that I didn’t encounter one fault, rattle or defect!

Specialist firms like Alpina, Schnitzer and Hartge were available to modify the models to customers orders as the standard cars had a limited amount of options available.

This stunning Arctic silver example was fitted with Alpina body styling, Alloys, sports exhaust and m tech suspension years ago and still looks fresh today.

With 170 bhp and a slick gearbox, she drives really well with that over-engineering feel only 1990s German cars can offer.

There is a great history file including original service and handbooks, and she has been well maintained.

Supplied fully inspected, serviced with 12 months warranty.
