2008 Bmw M5 Dinan Stroker E60 on 2040-cars

US $49,990.00
Year:2008 Mileage:49000
Location:

 After much soul searching, the time has come for my Stroker to find a new home. This car has a long history on M5Board.com, so I will try to keep the details short:

This car is the "Cody Stroker" from Austin, Texas. After Cody, the famous "Street King" a.k.a. SW owned this car and he sold it to me with 38K miles on it last year. So, if you live in CA, this is a fantastic looking and sounding smog legal car. If you don't, then you can de-cat it again :-) I've put 10K miles on it, and the only work it needed was to replace the brake controller due to an ABS fault light.

So before we get to the pictures, here are some details:

2008 E60 M5 Dinan S3 49K miles
Asking $49,990
Black on black
Full leather, alcantra headliner
KW coilovers

Heads up display
Active seats
Electric rear sunshade
Soft close doors
Factory ipod integration
Back up camera integration
Integrated Passport 9500 with front and rear laser shifter
RPI exhaust and scoops
Carbon fiber rear spoiler

Car used to have a clear bra on it which I removed recently so the paint work is virtually perfect. This is very rare, particularly on a black car. There are no dings or blemishes, except for one wheel that has very slight road rash and some small scrapes on the front air dam.

There is a typo in the category and I can't fix it....

 

The engine is 5.8L Dinan Stroker.

 

This car makes about 630 HP.

It is de-restricted, so top speed is about 200 MPH. Yes, this car can hit 200 MPH on a closed course.

The 0-60 MPH time is around 4 seconds.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

BMW maintenance plan no longer transferrable to 2nd owner

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

One of the best innovations in car buying in recent years is the rise of no-cost scheduled maintenance programs. Many people feel really anxious about taking their car in for service, and these deals help mitigate that somewhat. Obviously, it's not free for automakers to implement the offers, and now BMW is altering the way its four-year, 50,000-mile Maintenance Program works for some owners. "To keep such an offer sustainable we had to make a change," said Kenn Sparks, Manager of Business Communications at BMW North America, to Autoblog via email.
The original person to buy or lease the model isn't going to see any difference, but the program is no longer transferable to a second owner, unless that person is in the owners household. Those people include includes parents, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren, in addition to someone like a spouse or children. The original owner just has to advise BMW of new user. "The program change will affect 2nd owners and for them BMW is introducing an optional full-maintenance product that covers the vehicle up to 100,000 miles," said Sparks.
