2001 Bmw E39 M5 Low Mileage, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars

Year:2001 Mileage:64184
Location:

Milford, Connecticut, United States

Milford, Connecticut, United States

I have have performed some small touch-up paint fixes but these are not noticeable unless looking very closely.  I have owned the M5 for slightly less than a year.  I love the car but have recently purchased another sports car, so unfortunately, the M5 has to go.   **  Carfax shows an accident around 26K miles if I remember correctly?  I bought the car with about 60K and have experienced no evidence of the accident.  My BMW mechanic sees nothing to cause him any concern also.

The engine sounds fantastic and pulls very strong.  It is a true beast.  I have the paperwork on  all of the repairs / upgrades I've performed on the car.  All work was done by a local BMW specialist.  What I have done is the following:

o  engine work required in order for the car to pass CT emissions,  work performed, car passed with no problem
o  2 Mass Air Flow Sensors just replaced
o  New Water Pump installed
o  New Fuel Filter
o  Air & Cabin Filters replaced
o  Castrol Edge Synthetic oil change
o  New right rear tail lamp installed 
o  New inner hood liner (insulation)
o  The car came with a center armrest/car phone holder.  It offered no storage.  I installed a small storage compartment (meant for the M5)

All parts are BMW OEM, no generic, no-name parts used.  I personally machine polished & waxed the car in Sep'13.  3 new OEM M5 refurbished wheels. Unmarked, like new., no curb rash or dings.  One note on the wheels - they should all be "shadow line" which is kind of a gun-metal.  I originally replaced 3 wheels in Jul'13 and I then replaced the 4th wheel this past October with a brand new non-refurb wheel.  I didn't realize until after the 4th wheel was installed that it was the regular (lighter) colored silver.  I will replace the left rear wheel with either a brand new refurb. or a new non-refurb as part of the sale.  You are welcome to the wheel that is currently on the car also.  If you do a search on refurbed BMW wheels, you'll find a few suppliers.  The quality is outstanding and there is no difference in the appearance or quality of these wheels vs. a new, never used wheel.  I used "Original Wheels" and "All Factory Wheels."

There are no error lights (check engine, etc.) at all.  Also, there is no MP3 or iPod jack, but I have a cassette adapter that plugs into your phone to allow you to play your iTunes, Pandora, or even Sirius music (subscription required.)  There is a 6 CD changer in the trunk that works sporadically, so I do not use it.  Also, the car never came with a spare (from the factory), but I purchased a mini spare from a BMW parts specialists on-line.  I have never used it and I can't be 100% sure it will fit, even though it was purchased as fitting an '01 M5.  There is a  little display pixelation which is common in the E39.  It's not an issue imo, but on one of the mileage numbers, it is noticeable at times (not for all numbers.)

Note:  I have the blue part of the BMW roundels colored in red.  These are simply vinyl inserts that you or I can peel off.  There was no glue used in the process and the original roundel is underneath.  If you're  looking for an extremely clean E39 M5, I'm confident you would be very happy with this one.  Thanks

BMW dishes on 'lightweight' 2014 M4

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

BMW's M cars are not what we'd call featherweights. Sure, the big, bruising twin-turbocharged V8s deliver a lot of power, but the fact of the matter is that more weight often equates to less fun.
Which is why we're so excited over a recent sit-down the blokes at Top Gear had with BMW's product manager for small and medium cars, Matt Collins. The chat led to talk of the M3 Coupe replacing M4. Collins confirmed that, yes, the new M4 would be turbocharged. The new engine will also be a six-cylinder, which should make purists happy.
"What we'd like is more focus on lightweight engineering." -Matt Collins

Did Lexus make a BMW? Or did BMW make a Lexus? This and other 2017 surprises

Fri, Dec 29 2017

It's that time of year again. The calendar is about to reach its end, Star Trek Cats 2018 is about to take its place, and I'm reflecting about all the cars that graced my driveway this year or summoned me to exotic places. You know, like Stuttgart or Phoenix. In 2017, I drove at least 57, and as I perused the list of them, I started to notice a common refrain: "This car surprised me." Most were pleasant surprises, but there were a few head scratchers and facepalms for good measure. In both cases, it was generally the result of car companies seemingly trying to break out of an existing mold. Nowhere was that more apparent than the pair of Lexuses slathered in Infrared paint: The LS 500 that left me this week and the LC 500 that was my favorite car of 2017. Though Lexus has been trying to shake its crusty, gold-packaged reputation for some time now, its efforts always seemed like an old man choosing Hollister to redo his wardrobe after realizing it hasn't been updated since 1987. I fell in love with the LC, genuinely floored by its near-perfect take on the GT. It's characterful in sound, appearance and tactility. It was at home in the city, in the mountain and on the open road. It was both comfortable and thrilling, and after driving the mechanically related LS 500, I can report that the LC's talents aren't an outlier. The LS 500's turbo V6 may make different noises than the LC's naturally aspirated V8, but it nevertheless invigorates the cabin when the car is placed in Sport+ mode. The steering is truly communicative, body motions are kept in miraculous check, and I absolutely forgot I was in an enormous luxury limo ... and a Lexus one at that. It was everything that the BMW 530e was not. I drove that on the exact same roads and was utterly bored the entire time. Generally doughy, lifeless steering, more distant than Planet 9. And no, the plug-in hybrid powertrain had nothing to do with that. At least it shouldn't. The Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid I also drove this year proves that, as do the Hyundai Ioniqs, which are surprisingly adept and fun little cars regardless of what powers their wheels (Hyundai + hybrid = fun really blew me away). I would drive that Lexus LS F Sport over the BMW 5 Series any day of the week, which seems like a shocking thing to say in relation to either car. While Lexus is seemingly breaking out of its old crusty mold, BMW seems to be climbing into one.

BMW to announce location of new plant in Mexico in July

Tue, 20 May 2014

Volkswagen manufactures in Mexico. Soon Audi will as well, and Mercedes-Benz is said to be working on a deal to assemble some of its cars at a Nissan plant in Mexico too. That leaves BMW out of the mix of German automakers building cars South of the Border, but that may soon be rectified, as well.
According to Automotive News, the Bavarian automaker is preparing to announce the site of its first Mexican assembly plant as soon as July, now just two months away. BMW already builds cars for North American consumption at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but has reportedly been keen to capitalize on cheaper labor and the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement to supply vehicles to the United States and Canada especially.
When BMW does announce the site of the plant - reportedly narrowed down to either Hidalgo or San Luis Potosi - it is tipped to work its way up to 100,000 vehicles per year at the new location, potentially to include the 3 Series as well as smaller, front-drive models, including Minis.
