The most powerful, fastest and most expensive BMW ever was handed over to its new owner last week in Johannesburg.
The first new BMW M5 CS was delivered to a customer by BMW Bedfordview, and according to Guy Kilfoil, the Dealer Principal at the BMW & Mini dealership, this vehicle will set you back a whopping R3.4 million.
“To pay homage to the new ultimate saloon, we assembled all six generations of BMW’s iconic M5, each a legend of its time, when the delivery took place.
