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!!

BMW ready to bring more i3, i8 plug-ins to US
Thu, Oct 9 2014BMW has found a receptive audience for its first batches of plug-in vehicles in the good 'ole USA. The German automaker, which started selling its first mass-produced i plug-ins in Europe late last year, will send a higher percentage of those vehicles to the US because of strong demand here, according to Automotive News, which talked with BMW executive Ian Robertson. And the Americans might cause Bimmer to speed up production, to boot. BMW makes the i3 electric vehicle and i8 plug-in hybrid in Germany, and has sold about 10,000 units of the former and 280 of the latter worldwide. Since August, BMW has been selling about 1,000 i3s a month in the US (it sold just 58 i8s in September). The bigger story, though, may be that Bimmer has sold out of its US allocation of i8s through the end of next year. Pretty heady stuff for a car that starts at around $137,000. Currently, BMW builds around 100 i-series vehicles a day in Germany, and may speed up production of the i8 for the aforementioned reason. As for the i3, which comes with an option of a gas-powered range extender, we'd reported earlier this year that the waitlist for that model had grown to about six months. Our i3 First Drive report is here if you'd like to know what all the fuss is about.
2015 BMW M4 Convertible is here to put wind in your sails
Thu, 03 Apr 2014Each generation of the BMW M3 has included a convertible model. Even the distant E30, the patriarch of the M3 line, had an ultra-rare (only 787 were built) droptop model. The convertible became more common on the successive generations, with the hardtop-convertible E93 being the most recent. Considering this history, there seemed very little doubt that as the M3 became the M4, a convertible would be in the cards. Now, the new droptop has arrived.
Set for its global debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 BMW M4 Convertible features, like its forbearers, everything that's great about the hardtop variant while adding an unlimited amount of head room. That means the same 3.0-liter, 425-horsepower, 406-pound-foot, twin-turbocharged straight six sits under its domed hood, while either a six-speed stick or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission dispatches power to the fat rear tires.
As for specific differences between the hardtop and the new convertible, obviously, the droptop is heavier. A lot heavier. Where an M4 with a six-speed manual tips the scales at 3,530 pounds, the M4 Convertible weighs in at 4,055 pounds. Believe it or not, BMW has actually trimmed 90 pounds from the last-generation M3 convertible, code-named E93. This marginal weight reduction from the third-generation convertible to the fourth is barely half of the 174 pounds BMW was able to subtract when transitioning from M3 Coupe to M4 Coupe.
BMW to change model designations, further yet from actual displacement?
Sat, 12 Jul 2014Once upon a time, you could look at the back of a trunk lid of a BMW and come up with a pretty fair idea of what sat under its hood. For example, a 320i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.0-liter engine, a 328i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.8-liter engine and a 328Ci was a two-door 3 Series with the same engine. Those were good days.
Today, though, that simplicity is dead and gone. A 328i now has a 2.0-liter engine, just like the 320i, while the simple "C" designation that was affixed to two-door models has been replaced with a "4," so we have a 428i and a 435i. It gets worse, though. A 550i uses a 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 (it should be a 544ti, although we'd be willing to hear an argument for "tti") and a 740i uses a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder, which is the same engine found in a 535i. It's madness.
And, well, it's about to get madder, if a post on a BMW enthusiast forum is to be believed. According to f30post.com, we could see a shakeup in at least the 3 and 4 Series nomenclature, thanks to an impending refresh that will see the addition of new, turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines, codenamed B48 and B58, respectively.
