1995 BMW M5 'Orinoco Limited Edition'

The BMW M5 (E34), when first introduced, was the fastest four-door saloon in the world. Made available in both saloon and estate form for the first time - though only the former made it to the UK - the E34 M5 used an uprated version of the E28's straight-six engine, now measuring 3.5 litres in capacity and producing 311bhp. Towards the end of 1991, the engine was uprated to 3.8-litres, with power jumping to 342bhp at the same time. To date, it was the last M5 to be powered by a six-cylinder engine utilising the S38B36 engine which was first seen in the BMW M1.

To commemorate the end of production of the right-hand drive, 6-cylinder engined M5, fifty 'Limited Edition' examples were built for the UK finished in Orinoco Metallic with bi-colour Petrol and Mint Extended Leather seating and with a slightly higher spec.including Electric Windows and Door Mirrors, Electrically Operated Front Sports Seating, M Double Spoke Alloy Wheels, M Body Styling, ABS, and Tinted Glass. Just 50 examples came to the UK and this is number 49/50 so is presumably the second from last off the production line and we believe one of only 35 examples built in this colour combination. It's a 3.8-litre (342bhp) car, fitted with a six-speed gearbox, and is right-hand drive. The car has covered 148,000 miles from new which is supported by a huge history file with lots of old receipts and invoices, some old MOTs, and all its original BMW books and service records. It will be supplied with a fresh MOT Certificate valid until October 2018 and the aforementioned history file. A rare opportunity to acquire one of these Orinoco special editions and one of the last cars built at the original Motorsport Division.
