Runs so strong with its 4.9L V-8 pushing 394 HP through the 6-speed manual gear box. So fast, so much low-end torque. This a favorite of car enthusiasts and the M5 has a superb reputation.
Very good maintenance performed, most of it at the dealer, and then La Jolla Independent BMW. Pre-sale inspection found no major mechanical issues, you are welcome to contact them, or take it to your own mechanic .
I am so sad to have to sell, but I do not have the room for three cars, so you should love it instead.
The M5 is in great shape for 136k miles, but in the spirit of full disclosure I will tell you the issues that I have found. They are pretty standard issues for a BMW and for the age; Minor curb-rash, minor front bumper scrapes & small rock chips, AC very cold and heat hot, but AC likes to default back to auto-mode instead of staying on the feet or top of dash mode, auto-tint rear view mirror permanently in "tint-mode", weeping power-steering hoses need top off every 1000 miles, missing pixels in dash but still able to read everything just fine, and a very minor squeak in the belt tensioner can sometimes be heard at idle, but otherwise the M5 is incredibly strong and the issues do not diminish performance or comfort...
Here are some highlights and maintenance that has been performed-
• Band new tires & alignment (rears this month, fronts replaced in Nov.)
• 2003 Sat-Nav Professionally installed
• iPod Dice connector installed with 6-disc changer included with car
• 3-Keys
• Professional Tint (limo in the rear, but lighter up front so you won't get pulled over)
• Professional front headlight restoration
• New floor mats
• New M5 rear emblem (nice and bright)
• New shift boot and weighted OEM Z-shift knob for cleaner shorter throws.
• New exterior window rubber along front and back
• Replaced entire front end (control arms, thrust arms, tie rods, and all the bushings)
• Replaced center bearing for tighter performance along drive shaft
• Full 100k tune-up including new plugs, filters, and thermostat
• Clutch and Flex in excellent condition
• New window regulators, new Sunroof Kit installed
• 2 Cam sensors, airbag & seat belt sensors, and hood sensors replaced
• AC control and resistor replaced
• Belts and PCV hoses replaced
• Replaced Battery
• Just smogged in March
As you can see, many of the normal BMW failures and maintenance issues have already been corrected. This car is ready to go, (although I do not hold the title, I still owe to the credit union). But, I am very motivated to sell and will work with you. I just leased a new car so I need to sell as soon as possible and no reasonable offer will be denied!
Contact me so we can make a deal! (530) 680-8207.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW integrates EV charging into streetlights, EV Fleet debuts electric pickup
Mon, Nov 10 2014BMW has unveiled prototypes of LED streetlights that also serve as EV charging stations. "Light and Charge is a simple and innovative solution to naturally integrate a reliable network of charging stations in the city," says BMW's Peter Schwarzenbauer. Connected to the ChargeNow network, they're simple to use, and would be readily available when tied to the lighting infrastructure. The two prototypes are currently in use at BMW World, with a pilot project planned for Munich in 2015. Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the (translated) press release below. The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) is accusing retailers of price gouging E85 to discourage its use. An RFA study found that retailers in St. Louis were marking up E85 as much as a dollar, roughly twice as much as the markup on regular gasoline. "Sneaky E85 pricing strategies ultimately give oil refiners the opportunity to wrongly claim that consumers are 'rejecting' E85," Says RFA president and CEO Bob Dinneen, "and it gives them an opportunity to claim they can't comply with Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requirements above the so-called 'blend wall.'"

The vehicle-to-grid-ready Condor has a 1,000-pound payload capacity, and can travel over 100 miles on a single charge. The company plans to build 300 trucks a month when it revs up production next year, with sales targeted toward fleet managers. See the EV Fleet Condor in the video below, read more at Treehugger, or visit EV Fleet's website to learn more. Here's a bold claim. Mutual fund manager Ron Baron says that every home will have a Tesla vehicle in 25 years. The financial guru, well regarded for his predictive stock strategies, is confident about the long-term outlook for the electric carmaker. He feels that Tesla is far ahead of the electric car game compared to other automakers like BMW, whom he believes will end up switching focus from internal combustion to electric powertrains.

As part of the Eurocities conference in Munich, discuss in from 5 to 8 November 2014 more than 500 representatives of major European cities on pioneering infrastructure projects, the BMW Group presents the prototype of a highly energy efficient street lighting that is both charging station for electric vehicles.
Tesla in talks with BMW about batteries, charging collaborations
Wed, Nov 26 2014With Toyota and Daimler no longer holding Tesla shares, the electric vehicle company might be looking for a new partner – possibly a Bavarian one. In a new interview with Germany's Der Spiegel, CEO Elon Musk confirmed that he has had talks with BMW execs about future collaboration. "We are talking about whether we can collaborate in battery technology or charging stations," Musk said in the interview, according to Reuters. However, a Tesla spokesperson has tempered things by saying no formal agreements are in place at the moment. In the same interview, Musk reportedly praised BMW's use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic in its i sub-brand offerings, and said he would like to have a battery factory in Germany in the next five or six years. The possibility of technological cooperation between Tesla and BMW has been a hot topic this year. In June, Musk reportedly met with BMW execs, and the two companies were also rumored to have met with Nissan to discuss charging technology. When Daimler sold off its shares, there was talk of it opening the way for possible collaboration between the two automakers, as well.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan and BMW 8 Series spied south of Death Valley
Wed, Aug 30 2017Recently, we've stumbled upon a number of manufacturer prototypes running around. Usually, spy photographers sit and wait for hours with cameras primed in order to get a few shots of a car. We just got lucky. First, we caught the new Chevy Corvette ZR1 convertible during a Facebook Live video. A week or so later McGraw snapped a video of a ZR1 coupe cruising in his neck of the woods. Today, our ace photographer Drew Phillips caught a BMW test fleet filling up the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan and 8 Series coupe in Baker, Calif. Baker sits along Interstate 15, about halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. It's just south of Death Valley, and, being late August, suggests that BMW was doing some hot weather testing. Drew was filling up his car when the fleet rolled in. There were at least two of the new king Rolls and a single 8 Series. Both cars were wearing a full swirl camouflage wrap. It's not an uncommon place to see prototypes. Still, seeing a whole fleet roll in is quite a sight. We've seen official photos of the Cullinan before, but these pictures give us our best view of the profile and rear we've had so far. From a distance, it looks like a high-riding version of the new Phantom with a hatch in place of the trunk. The taillights are obviously just filler units. Expect the final version to look very much like the squared off LED units on the Phantom. Likewise the interior and engine should be straight from the Phantom. That means a twin-turbocharged V12, though power is likely to be sent to all four wheels. We've seen the full BMW 8 Series concept a few times now. The proportions on the production car look the same, with a long hood and even longer wheelbase. The nose isn't quite as aggressive as the concept, but we expected the styling to be toned down to meet crash and safety standards. As for engines, look for six, eight and (hopefully) 12-cylinder power under the hood. A plug-in variant is also expected. Both cars have been in development for a long while, so look for full debuts sometime this auto show season. Maybe we'll happen upon some more test mules between now and then. Related Video:
