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.
