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.
The M5’s formed a guard of honour for the new M5 CS and included the E34 M5, the E39 M5, the E60 M5, the F10 M5 and the F90 M5 with the E28 and E38 owned by the same person,” he tells Dealerfloor.
