2012 BMW 5 SERIES

A rare opportunity to acquire one of BMW's early performance hybrid models – the F10 ActiveHybrid 5.

This is not a typical hybrid vehicle; it combines BMW's excellent N55 3.0-litre TwinPower Turbo straight-six petrol engine with electric assistance, producing approximately 340bhp and 450Nm of torque, delivered through BMW's traditional rear-wheel-drive platform and 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. Petrol engine output: 306 bhp, Electric motor output: 55 bhp, Combined system output: 340 bhp, Combined torque: 450 Nm.

Finished in a striking Ice Blue metallic exterior with Cream leather interior, this is a highly specified example with an unusual and desirable colour combination.

Factory specification includes:

• Professional Navigation

• Head-Up Display

• 360° Surround View Cameras

• Parking Assistant

• Adaptive Cruise Control

• Adaptive Xenon Headlights

• 4-Zone Climate Control

• BMW Assist with Emergency Call and Internet Services

• Voice Control

• Professional Media System

• Auto-Dimming Mirrors

• Satin Walnut Wood Trim

The car has covered approximately 80,000 miles and has been well maintained, with:

• Full Service History

• Last serviced June 2025

• New front tyres June 2025

• Four-wheel alignment completed

• Rear tyres replaced August 2024

• MOT valid until July 2027

Known issue:

The vehicle has an intermittent hybrid system warning relating to the high-voltage battery system. The issue has been professionally investigated, and supporting diagnostic information is available.

A replacement genuine BMW high-voltage battery was pursued, but due to extended manufacturer supply delays, I have decided to sell the vehicle rather than continue waiting for the repair.

The car starts, drives and performs well on the petrol engine and represents an interesting opportunity for a BMW enthusiast, hybrid specialist or technically minded owner who appreciates rare and unusual BMW models.
