This is NOT a 25 Jahre M5. Just a 2010 Frozen Grey. Research will show the 25 Jahre M5’s were Euro-Spec only. I thought this was a federalized euro car when you started the video, but when you showed the interior it was a dead giveaway this is not a 25J. Research will show you the many differences between this car and a real 25J. Seats are black with white center, black headliner, 25J door sills, etc. Once you mentioned that the owner had a metallic white one with the sequential vin I knew exactly what car this was. There are pictures of both cars together brand new during delivery on M5Board. Definitely not 25 Jahre, just two BMW Individual 2010 M5’s.
The mirrors, and the colors are the only difference I can see and find also. Beautiful car and that manual for an 2010 anniversary edition will make that thing worth way more than an smg any year car.. 👍
There are 2 different leathers on the steering wheels, one is for heated, the other is for non heated. The softer leather is padded wears very poorly and is not very durable.
Owned an 07 for 11 years. First 10 years were fine but after that and around 60k, things begin to implode fast. SMG was always terrible, vanos, cooling, idle control valves, valves, cooling and the list goes on. Yes the engine sounded great but there is a huge price to pay to drive this pig and at the end of day just not worth the effort.
@e39source From my understanding To mark the 25th anniversary of BMW Motorsport GmbH, a series of 25 cars were produced as a special edition in late 2009. They were painted in a special colour called "frozen grey metallic", which was Space grey with a special type of matte clear coat that produced a frozen look on the surface. The interior was from BMW Individual, and matched to the paintwork with a combination (bicolor) of black and Silverstone II Merino leather. Early cars had the regular black full leather option (X3SW) and interior trim panels in black piano finish (0XE7).
Beautiful paint, would have liked to see the metallic fleck. I have the 06 e60 m5 S85 smg in Silver Grey . Fun car and the engine sound never gets old.
That awkward moment when E39 Source has become E60 Source (I'm just joking). Having worked on the two a bunch, there's a lot of similarities between the two in terms of the chassis.
I just bought a 2010 535xi 6-speed manual from Copart and it hasthat same color interior. I dont have the AC on the seats,nor the MDM button-mine is a dsc- and Im sure I missed something else. Its got a bucket load of electrical problems and I just had a new clutch installed. I'm tempted to sell it but I'd lose a ton of money on it since it will be a salvage title once I get it inspected etc. That M5 is gorgeous though

I'd love a 25 year anniversary car but they're £40-50k minimum!
Great spec m5
This isn't a 25 year anniversary car.. They have special door jam kick plates that display it is a 25th anniversary car
nothing beats the e39 m5
What a beautiful car! My E39 M5 is currently with you getting work done, but I already warned my wife that an E60 M5 will be my next car 😂
Take away 60k miles that car would be worth 140k all day
I just happened to paint this guy's 30 Jahre M5 recently. Small world stumbling upon this video.
Holy moly that car is a beauty.

Beautiful example with individual interior.
You made this car 100% correct! Congrats to you and the lucky owner!

Great car, I was distracted by the E90 335 in the video as well since it looks exactly like my car!
