The Ultimate Driving Machine, Barely Driven
Someone’s loss could be your gain with this barely-driven 2026 BMW M5 that’s appeared on the auction circuit sporting just 200 miles on its odometer. BMW’s latest M5 super sedan marks a controversial shift toward electrification, marrying a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine with electric assistance. The numbers tell an impressive story: 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, good for 0-60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
Even better for your conscience, it can also creep around town silently for up to 25 miles on electric power alone, thanks to its 18.6 kWh battery pack and 11kW AC charging capability. The not so good? The G90 M5 weighs in at 5,390 pounds making it 1,045 pounds heavier than the previous M5, while somehow also being a fraction slower in outright acceleration. That could be the reason someone’s selling it after driving it 200 miles, but this M5 still makes a compelling argument.
What Makes This Deal Special
The 2026 M5 carries an MSRP starting around $121,900, with fully-specced models nudging $145,000. This particular car listed on Cars & Bids is pretty well specced, with Frozen Deep Grey paint over a red/black interior. The added $1,700 Driving Assistance Professional, $3,100 Carbon and $1,850 Executive packages take its total to $128,550. The latest bid is just shy of $112,000 with one day left of bidding.
The average used G90 BMW M5 currently trades for around $120,000 online, most with more miles than this mint example. For context, finding any 2026 model year vehicle with low mileage is exceptionally rare, especially one from the M performance lineup. The 200-mile odometer reading suggests this M5 was likely an executive vehicle, or perhaps belonged to someone who had immediate buyer’s remorse. Whatever the reason, it presents a unique opportunity for buyers to acquire what’s essentially a new car without taking the first hit of depreciation.
The Smart Money Move
Online auctions often reveal true market sentiment, and this M5’s final hammer price will likely set a precedent for early depreciation on BMW’s new hybrid super sedan. Given the car’s unmodified condition and the typical 15-20% immediate depreciation hit luxury performance cars take, someone could potentially save $10,000-$15,000 compared to dealer pricing that has already risen.
The timing couldn’t be better for buyers either. With current market…
