Seller's description
The last naturally aspirated M5, and arguably the most dramatic. This Silverstone II example has covered under 72k miles and had its rod bearings replaced in 2023 along with a full throttle-actuator rebuild — the two service items that make or break an S85. SMG pump and clutch were replaced at 66k. Comes with a folder of receipts totalling more than $18,000 over the last four years, plus both keys and the original window sticker.

Bearings and throttle actuators sorted is the only way I would touch an S85. Seller has done the homework.

How does the SMG behave from cold? Any hesitation on the 1-2 shift?

From cold it is deliberate for the first couple of shifts in S3, then it smooths out. Totally normal SMG behavior — no hesitation or slipping.
