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!!

Did BMW really win the luxury car sales race?
Sun, Feb 14 2016As anyone who follows our monthly By The Numbers series already knows, the luxury car sales race in the United States was close all of last year as BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz seesawed up and down for sales supremacy. At the end of the year, it was BMW on top of the standings with 346,023 total sales. Or was it? According to data released by Polk, comparing the actual number of vehicles registered between the three top luxury players in the US paints a slightly different picture. Polk's data suggests that only 335,259 BMWs were registered in 2015, compared to 340,392 Lexus models. Why the disparity? It's all a matter of timing. Actual end consumers buy new cars, in almost all cases, from a franchised dealer. BMW delivered 346,023 vehicles in 2015, but only 335,259 of them were registered by their new owners. Presumably, those 11,000 BMWs did (or will) end up registered in the driveways of consumers, but they hadn't before January 1, 2016. Lexus General Manager Jeff Bracken wrote in an email to Automotive News, "Luxury sales leadership as measured by vehicle registrations is important to Lexus as it represents actual consumers engaging directly with our dealers." Of course, it goes without saying that we'll be paying keen attention to the 2016 luxury car sales race as it unfolds. If it's anything like it was in 2015, it'll come down to the wire, and even then may not be entirely clear.

2019 BMW Z5 shows off its soft top
Thu, Jul 7 2016BMW continues development work on the Z5, which will succeed the Z4 in its lineup for the 2019 model year. These latest spy shots again show off the Z5's classic sports-car proportions during testing on European roads. As expected, the roadster will switch to a cloth top instead of the retractable hardtop the Z4 uses. The much-anticipated Z5 will be based on a rear-wheel-drive platform that's jointly developed with Toyota. Rumors persist Toyota's version will mark the return of the Supra name, though the Japanese automaker has been silent on the matter. Reports say the cars could be assembled by Magna Steyr in Austria. We expect the Z5 will run four- and six-cylinder engines, and the soft top will help the roadster reduce weight and likely improve performance. It's also possible BMW will build a fixed-roof Z5. We predict the Z5 will appear on the auto show circuit within the next year. The long-running Z4 launched for 2009.

BMW M3 and M4 will rock 430 hp from twin-turbo six with standard manual [w/video]
Wed, 25 Sep 2013We're not sure which spec we're most intrigued by for the new BMW M3 and M4: the twin-turbo six-cylinder with 430 horsepower and "far beyond" 369 pound-feet of torque, the 3,300-pound curb weight or the standard six-speed manual transmission with automatic throttle blipping on downshifts. That engine is fitted with both Valvetronic and Double-Vanos, twin-wire arc-spray coating in the cylinders instead of liners to save weight, a track-ready cooling system with additional radiators, a forged crankshaft, dry-sump lubrication and a magnesium oil sump. BMW says its "high revving concept" has a redline beyond 7,500 rpm.
In the M4, it will be pulling a coupe with "a weight of just under 1,500 kilograms," which is 3,300 pounds to you and me. That number is said to include no driver and 90 percent fuel, but we're still waiting on the exact number and specs. BMW says it's "around 80 kilograms lighter than a comparably equipped predecessor model," putting the power-to-weight ratio at something like 7.68 pounds per horsepower at the same time as it helps reduce fuel consumption by 25 percent. The use of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) for the roof, drive shaft (with no center bearing), trunk and front strut brace, and forged aluminum for suspension components, have aided in the weight loss. This time around, the sedan - the M3 - will also get a CFRP roof.
The default option will be a six-speed manual.
