Hello and thanks for looking at my M5.  This is an original California M5 with a clean CARFAX showing 12X,XXX miles and no accidents!!  I purchased it out of California and brought it to Indiana.  It is garage kept, and has never seen the winter weather.  This car is in amazing condition, NOT PERFECT, but very clean, and none of the typical corrosion found on mid west M5's.  I looked at 8 M5's before I decided to purchase this one because it was so clean even under the hood AND on the underside of the car.  The ORIGINAL paint is beautiful all over with very little wear (see PICS) with the exception of the hood.  The previous owner painted the hood because of typical rock chips.  The hood is not the same quality at the factory paint, but matches well and looks acceptable from 10 feet.  I tried to show this is the pictures, but you can really only see it if you are close up and in person.  It is a good color match, and smooth, but the clear coat seems to have a dull look.  All other issues are fairly minor.  There is a crack and a small piece missing on the corner of the front bumper, the inside rear view mirror has a dark spot covering 70% of the bottom of the mirror - see pics - it is still usable, I'm just covering all defects... There is also a small 2" x 4" vinyl cover missing on the back of the console, and there is no owners manual.  The previous owner was unable to locate it.  The interior has typical wear for a BMW CARAMEL INTERIOR of this vintage.  There are no tears or major damage, but there is leather wear, finish cracking, and other wear from use and getting in and out of the vehicle.  The pictures show all the wear clearly so please take a close look.  I like the look of well worn leather, but if you want perfect leather, you need to move on to another car..  The carpet is in good condition but could use a good shampoo and deep cleaning to make it look like new.  The mats are worn,  but do their job, and are not ratty..  The WHEELS are the cleanest M5 wheels of that vintage I have ever seen.  Nice factory finish, not bent, very very minor nicks here and there, and very straight.  They ride like a dream on the NEW NITTO MOTIVO tires all the way around (less than 4K miles), and handle excellent!  New battery last week, and the previous owner installed a UUC Evo3 short shifter, UUC lightweight flywheel, new clutch, new brakes, new control arm bushings, and new VANOS SOLENOID Seals (all performed at 121k miles).  Oil change 4K miles ago with Castrol full synthetic.  
HERE IS A WALK AROUND VIDEO TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.

 
OK, I did my best to give every possible issue, an honest description of the condition, and a list of current service that has been performed.  I am not aware of any other issues and I would take this car anywhere without concern. I just took a 500 mile round trip and loved every minute of it!!!  BUT, I am selling the car in AS-IS condition so I strongly encourage any serious buyer to arrange a personal inspection before you buy.  I will also honor my description - any one that buys the car has 3 days to inspect the car BEFORE delivery.  If there is any major issue not as I described, I will cancel the sale.  Major issues would be an engine knock, or an engine miss, a damaged body, or a bad transmission, or, yada, yada - not a rock chip behind the rear tire that I didn't describe - you get the picture.  This is a great example of a 2000 M5, not perfect, but I can't imagine any BMW M5 shopper being unhappy in any way when they inspect this car.  It is VERY FAST, VERY smooth, Has seemingly UNLIMITED TORQUE, VERY COMFORTABLE with Ice Cold AC, power everything, GPS, CD, AM/FM, Cassette, Power Sun Roof, Heated Seats, Cruise Control, Power Sport Seats, and more, - VERY TIGHT 6 Speed Manual Shift Transmission, Some of the BEST BRAKES EVER, and a gas pedal that allows you to kick pretty much everything else's butt if you are so inclined!!  I have a copy of the previous California title that shows no miles on the title because California considers any car over 10 years of age exempt on miles, but the previous owner sold me the car with 121XXX actual miles (as shown on the California title paperwork), CARFAX shows my M5 has original miles with no title problems.  The Indiana title will show the car is exempt because it came from California with no miles on the title-- so I am selling the car with exempt miles on the title because of ignorant government rules, but actual miles according to the previous owner, actual CARFAX experts that show history reflecting 125XXX actual miles have been documented on this car.  WHEW, I am done with all that.  Feel free to send me your number to discuss the car, and look for a video walk around on the car to give any potential buyer a little better "live view" of the M5 running, and close ups of the condition described above.
I am asking $14,500 or best offer.  It would be very difficult to find a better color combination or better running and driving M5!!  Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!!

M235i outpoints 911, Corvette in CR testing, becomes highest-scoring BMW ever

Fri, 27 Jun 2014

Good news just keeps coming for BMW, as Consumer Reports has just handed out a stunner of a verdict - the M235i, a spritely, 320-horsepower coupe that starts at just $43,100 has bested the likes of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and Porsche 911, vehicles that can easily cost twice as much and come to battle with considerably more power.
CR awarded the spiritual successor to the 1 Series M Coupe a score of 98 out of 100, beating out the 911 and the Stingray by three and six points, respectively. In fact, the M235i is remarkably close to the Tesla Model S' 99, making it one of the highest scores CR has ever handed out. It's also, not surprisingly, the highest-rated BMW ever.
Of the M235i's many attributes, Consumer Reports cited the car's performance potential as well as its quiet ride and comfort for front-seat passengers. While it's a shock to no one, CR called out the limited space in the backseats as well as some finicky controls as this Bimmer's biggest shortcomings.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe spotted wearing minimal camo, M Sport pack

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

The new BMW 4 Series is essentially the coupe version of the latest 3 Series. So it would stand to reason that the four-door version of the 4 Series, in turn, would be the 3 Series - right? Well, yes and no.
Just as BMW offers both a 5 Series sedan and a four-door version of the 6 Series called the Gran Coupe, so, too, will its 4-Series family expand. So following the release of the new 4 Series Convertible, here we have the latest batch of spy shots showing the upcoming 4 Series Gran Coupe - which in turn should not be confused with the hunchbacked 3 Series Gran Turismo, which is more of a sporty wagon than a four-door coupe.
The nearly ready test vehicle pictured here is wearing only minimal camouflage to hide some last few details, but also appears to be wearing the M Sport package that will bridge the gap (at least, visually speaking) between the base models and the M4 Gran Coupe that is all but certain to follow.
