Overview

More about this BMW 5 Series

Finished in Individual Aegean Blue, this 2007 BMW 550i M Sport is a true one-off — 1 of just 11 UK cars ever built with a manual gearbox, and very likely the lowest-mileage, highest-spec example anywhere, having covered just under 25,000 miles from new. Powered by BMW’s naturally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 with 362bhp and paired to a precise 6-speed manual, it delivers a raw yet refined driving experience that’s now all but extinct. Add rear-wheel drive, understated M Sport styling, and near-perfect proportions, and what you have is the ultimate Q car — timeless, fast, and rare. Often nicknamed an “M-lite”, the 550i M Sport wears its badge discreetly — but there’s nothing lightweight here. With a factory manual, Individual specification and full-fat V8 power, this is a thoroughbred performance saloon through and through. Special-ordered in Sonderlackierung Aegean Blue with Individual full leather, and loaded with options: 🔹 Electric Glass Tilt & Slide Sunroof 🔹 Professional Navigation with MP3 🔹 Night Vision system 🔹 19in M Double Spoke Alloys (Style 172M) 🔹 6-disc CD Autochanger 🔹 Enhanced Bluetooth 🔹 Hi-Fi Loudspeaker System 🔹 Rear side airbags & seatbelt pretensioners 🔹 Headlight wash system 🔹 M Rear Spoiler 🔹 Space saver spare wheel Originally costing £57,670 in 2007, this is a beautifully specified, deeply rare example of BMW’s discreet V8 flagship — and one that stands alone for mileage, condition and driving purity. 1 of 11. Manual. V8. Individual spec. Under 25k miles. Drive it. Keep it. Watch it rise.
