2000 Bmw M5 Loaded 5.0l Rare Imola Red With Caramel Interior And Suede Headliner on 2040-cars
Carmel, Indiana, United States
|
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!!

DC fast charging standard on 2015 BMW i3 EV
Mon, Dec 1 2014The BMW i3 is about to get a lot cooler. No, wait, a lot warmer. That's because there will a few new standard features in the i3 plug-in vehicles sold in the US, including seat heaters and satellite radio. Oh, and DC fast charging. The department head of BMW i USA, Jacob Harb, told BMW Blog that the company is, "now confident enough that in 2015 we will have the right infrastructure for DC fast charging, so it makes to include it standard in the MY2015." We can expect more details at the Detroit Auto Show in January and Harb told BMW Blog that, "you will be pleasantly surprised" by the announcement. There are a few other potential changes in store for the i3, including a configurable keyfob (like European i3 drivers get) and a heated steering wheel. It's unlikely that a sunroof or Lane Departure Warning will be offered, but Harb said BMW is always open to suggestions.
Watch a trio of Santas ride up Mulholland Drive
Wed, 25 Dec 2013Santa Claus might have his eight reindeer - or nine, when it's foggy - to help him deliver presents in most parts of the world, but in southern California, it looks like he's traded up from Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and company to BMW, Yamaha and Ducati. RNickeyMouse is usually the place to check out spectacular motorcycle crashes on video along LA's Mulholland Drive, but a recent video caught a trio of Santas carving up the iconic, twisty road.
The three Santas are together, riding what appears to be a BMW S1000RR, Yamaha R1 and a hard-to-tell custom bike that could be a Ducati 1098. The video, which is posted below, also catches a bonus Santa riding solo on another S1000RR. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a cool bike!
BMW i8 fully revealed ahead of Frankfurt debut
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It may be early in the morning here in the US, but in Germany, the first day of the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show is in full swing. BMW took advantage of the early start and showed off its long-awaited i8 plug-in hybrid sportscar, a two-plus-two, swan-wing-doored coupe, to the Frankfurt crowd.
We drove a BMW i8 prototype back in August, so many of the things we're reading today are clarifications on our initial suspicions or speculations. Underhood sits a 1.5-liter, turbocharged, three-cylinder engine. On its own, it churns out a respectable 231 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, which is then channeled to the rear wheels by way of a six-speed automatic transmission. An electric motor, meanwhile, sends 131 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque through a two-speed automatic to the front wheels.
With all-wheel drive at its disposal, the total system power sits at 362 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque, and allows the i8 to scamper to 62 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds. That excellent performance is offset by an estimated fuel economy figure of 94 miles per gallon, though, making this a fast and efficient vehicle. Charging is impressively fast on the i8, with a full charge coming from a 110-volt outlet in under four hours. A BMW Charging Station will trim the charge time down to 1.5 hours.
