Jeremy Clarkson owns an M5!
According to Wikipedia.org:
"Clarkson owns various cars including Ford's latest supercar, the Ford GT, a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Mercedes SL55 AMG, a Volvo XC90, Ford Focus and a BMW M5" I wonder whether it's a E39 or E60? 'Rocket

He must have one of the highest paying road test jobs.
Given how much he loves the E60 M5 with the M button depressed, I would venture to say he's got an E60 M5.

I think Jamie is right.
He had an SL55, which I think he sold to get the Ford GT. He was quite unhappy with the GT so I'd suspect he replaced it with the M5.

He is quite funny but it seems that he can be a real "wanker" sometimes. He always gets the best roadtests over James May and Richard Hammond.
