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!!

Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016

Mon, Aug 15 2016

Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe caught again

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

It's been a while since we've seen the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe out testing, but we're sort of inclined to ask "Why?" yet again. After all, the 4 Series is what the new 3 Series-based coupes and convertibles will be called, so the idea of another four-door version just sort of seems redundant. In other words, just how different will a 4 Series Gran Coupe be from a 3 Series sedan, aside from perhaps a more rakish roofline or a four-passenger seating configuration? Probably not much, but BMW clearly thinks it can use the additional bodystyle to rake in some extra profits.
Anyway, back to these spy shots. No more of the 4GC's skin has been revealed since the last time we saw it, but we fully expect it to share a lot of its design DNA with the 3 Series sedan, not to mention the attractive 4 Series coupe concept that bowed at this year's Detroit Auto Show.
Powertrain options should carry over direct from the 3 Series line, so we expect to see 428i and 435i models on hand, packing turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines, respectively. We're sure that BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive will be available, and who knows, we could even get a 428d version with the new 2.0-liter turbodiesel four that debuted in the 328d at the New York Auto Show last week, or even an M4 variant.

Are you a BMW M4 GTS track car in disguise?

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

BMW is always happy to extract a little bit more gumption out of its M cars, just look at the latest 30th anniversary M5 or even the earlier CSL variants of the M3 for proof. Now, It looks like we might be getting the first glimpse of an even hotter M4, and it's wearing very interesting livery.
Our spies recently shot this M4 that could preview a future GTS version. It's all done up in MotoGP decals, but that might just be a ruse. This car sports a camouflaged lower air dam and rear wing, but those parts don't appear to be from an actual series safety car. The chin spoiler seems larger, and the rear wing is completely different. You can also spot an obvious Recaro logo on the driver's seat in one of the photos. Plus, the BMW emblem is removed at the back.
The disguised changes and odd choice of decals make this prototype incredibly weird. A BMW exec said at the beginning of the year that there were "no plans whatsoever to make a lighter, harder version just yet," of the M3 or M4, despite earlier rumors to the contrary. Check out the gallery to see what you think this is.
