Often called the best BMW ever made. An April 2000 Carbon Black BMW M5. If you don’t know about this car, Motor Trend called it “the greatest super-sedan of all time.” Edmunds described it as having “all the best a car can offer,” and said “there isn’t a four-door car on earth that can touch it.” 

I have owned it for about two years and have treated as if I would keep it forever. I’m selling it because I want to buy a truck to fish and kayak with. (I couldn’t ever bring myself to put a roof rack on the top of this beast.) I have replaced everything that needed it, and many things that didn’t. Please see below for a detailed list, but I put in a brand new clutch, rotors, brakes, front upper control arms, front bumper, and Z3M short shifter, and I repainted the front hood . My Buy-It-Now price takes this and the Dinan upgrades into account. You could buy one for 15,000, but then you’ll likely have to put in a clutch, brakes, and all the other things that the previous owner put off. With this, you won’t have to do a thing. The clutch feels amazing and the brakes are spectacular.

Famous for being the ultimate "wolf in sheep's clothing,” a 1999-2001 M5 is a highly sought after car. It is extremely fast, but still very drivable and comfortable. This V-8 will go for more than 200,000 miles, I have no doubt. I wouldn’t have spent the money on the brakes, rotors, hood, bumper, etc if I were not completely confident in the engine. Here are a few things that I did in October. All the following have less than 2000 miles on them:

New OEM clutch from Bavarian Auto
Refinished flywheel
New Front upper control arms from Bavarian Auto
New OEM rotors from Bavarian Auto
New Padgen Red Brake pads from Bavarian Auto
Brand-new OEM front bumper installed a few months ago at Northwest Arkansas BMW. Wanted to freshen it up.
New Tires: German Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires--at least 90% wear remaining. These are widely accepted as some of the best tires available for this car. They feel amazing.
Side, front, and curtain airbag restraint system (extremely safe)

I just installed a Z3M short shifter. This shortened the shift pulls a lot and reduced free play a lot in the shifter. It was just installed, so it is a bit tight still but will wear in a bit with time. However, if you don’t like the short shifter, it is very easy to take back to stock.

Don’t spend 35,000 on a new so-called “sports” car. This will absolutely outperform them for a fraction of the price. It will out-accelerate, out-brake, and out-corner almost any car you come across. This is truly a super car hiding in 5-series body. And unless you know what you’re looking at, you would never guess what is lurking under its beautiful hood.

Please listen to my video to hear how tight and powerful the engine is in my video. It runs like a dream. No Vanos noise. No timing chain chatter. It will still pull very hard all the way in 5th gear, yet I always get 25 miles to the gallon on the highway. Not bad for a massive 400+ horsepower car.

I bought this car about two years ago and have enjoyed it immensely. It spent most of its life in California, and it has no signs of rust. I never drive it in the rain, and it is always garaged. It has a clean title. 

There is some wear on the leather, which I’ve tried to document. I could have re-dyed it, but in my opinion that is a little dishonest. If I were keeping it, the wear would not bother me. When I’m in the car, I’m sitting on it. :) The rear bumper is fading a bit. Again, it didn’t bother me enough to have it painted. There is also some road rash on the wheels. Again, nothing major and this didn’t bother me enough to buy new wheels. However, you can find the original wheels for about $900. I want to be very honest and forthcoming about any imperfections. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions. 

Please let me know if you have any questions, and happy bidding!

Recharge Wrap-up: VW Golf TDI wins green car award, DC buses might go electric

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI has won the award for 2014 Northwest Green Car or the Year. The distinction comes from the Northwest Automotive Press Association during its Drive Revolution event in Portland. Co-chairman of the event, Jeff Zurschmeide, says, "Volkswagen has led the diesel passenger car market for years, and the Golf TDI proves that they're likely to stay on top for a while." The 2015 Golf TDI has 10 more horsepower than the outgoing model, while improving fuel economy thanks to a new engine. It also has a base price $3,000 lower than the 2014 Golf TDI. Read more in the press release below. The BMW i8 gets its laser high-beam headlights from lighting company Osram. The laser lights use half the energy of their LED counterparts, according to BMW, which is important when one is trying to get every last bit of range out of the car's battery. The laser high beams can also reach about twice as far as LED lighting. Because of their brightness, they won't be available on cars sold in the US. In laser-equipped i8s, the laser high beams will not work below 60 kilometers per hour, nor when other lights are detected in front of the vehicle. Head to Automotive News Europe to read more. Renault has delivered a fleet of 30 Kangoo ZEs to Uruguay's government-owned power company, UTE. The electric fleet will allow the company to reduce its CO2 emissions by 36 metric tons, says Renault. 84 percent of Uruguay's electricity comes from renewable sources, with a goal of 90 percent on the horizon. Uruguay aims to get a third of its electricity from wind farms by 2016, meaning these Kangoo ZEs will be powered in no small part by renewable energy. For Renault, "This order is a further sign of the interest in the region for electric vehicles," according to Denis Barbier, Renault's senior vice president, citing previous deliveries in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia. Read more in the press release at Renault's website. Washington DC's "Circulator" bus routes may go electric. Some of the diesel buses, which were first put to work in 2003, are nearing the end of their life cycle, and DC sees an opportunity to make the switch to something a little greener. "Electric has not been a viable option in previous procurements, but now it is," says Will Handsfield, Georgetown Business Improvement District's transportation director. Handsfield is concerned about air quality, and says he also appreciates the long-term stability of electric rates compared to diesel.

M-thusiast pops the question at BMW Welt

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

We've seen all manner of marriage proposals over the years, but our favorites, of course, revolve around cars. One guy proposed to his girlfriend at a traffic stop, another during an autocross event, while yet another got dozens of Mazda MX-5 owners together to spell "Marry Me?" in Miatas. This latest proposal, however, put the M in Marriage as only a BMW enthusiast could.
While visiting BMW Welt in Munich, Bachir from Lebanon rolled out in a new blue M3 and got down on one knee in front of the gathered crowds to pop the question to Layal, his girlfriend of one year.
We'll let you watch the clip for yourself to see how it went, but suffice it to say that she was delighted. The couple plan to drive to the church in a procession of M cars for what promises to be a high-octane ceremony in their home country.
