If you were to ask me what was one of the worst BMW designs to ever make it to production, I think I'd be torn. That's because the E65 7-Series and E60 5-Series are tied for first place in that dumpster fire of a competition.
But the more I look at it, I think the 5'er takes the cake.
From the exterior to the interior, it's just hot garbage. Everything from the wheels to the center stack to the centrally located headrest in the rear seat, it's just awful. I feel like it's a mix of late 2000s and the 1980s.
If that's your thing, however, perhaps we've got a listing you've got to see. It's a 2008 BMW M5 with 84,000 miles on the odometer. Although many would say this vehicle is special due to its 5.0-liter V10 powerplant, I think it's actually due to the 6-speed manual transmission of which few were made.
Don't expect this one to be a collector's item though. I just don't see it happening. However, if you want to have fun with a V10 and give it a good home before it kicks the bucket, this very well may be your chance. Two more days left in the bidding at the time of this writing, so, act fast!

A new power steering pump and belt have since been fitted along with a new radiator hose clamp and A/C drive belt. This E60 M5 is now being offered with a clean Carfax, service records for the recent work, and a clean Indiana title...
