What I have for sale is my 2001 BMW M5 (E39) with just under 67,000 miles. This vehicle has been used for leisure driving since the day it left the BMW lot. Majority of its life was spent covered in my garage as a hidden trophy. The Titanium Silver Metallic exterior is in mint condition with no dents, rust, ect. The exterior of the vehicle is beautiful and stylish. Grab your magnifying glass and spend your day looking for a blemish, because you won’t find one. The interior of the car makes the other fully loaded vehicles in my driveway (2010+) look cheap and fake. The Silverstone leather interior is flawless with no cracks or tears. You can feel the quality of the material by running your hand along the texture of the seats as well as the suede headliner. The bucket seats provide supreme comfort ability while delivering the support needed for the monstrous power under the hood. Every single power function on the vehicle works without issue. You’ll need to flip through the manual because this BMW is fully equipped. There are no dead pixels in any of the displays (common BMW trait), nor are there any glitches with any of the gadgets. Let’s go right ahead and talk about the real reason you’re interested in this vehicle. The 5.0 V8 mated to the 6-speed transmission, turning this family sedan into a beast respected by every car enthusiast. This BMW is mechanically perfect, end of story. No funny business under the hood, this car was meticulously maintained. There was a new clutch installed at 50k, new brakes (rotors and pads), installed at 66,000, and new Continental DWS tires installed 300 miles ago. The only items on the vehicle that need to be replaced are the brake pad sensors. When the brakes were replaced, the incorrect sensors were purchased. Since the brake performance wouldn’t be affected, I decided to have the brake job completed without the sensors and have them replaced at the next oil change. The two sensors are cheap and simply require the removal of the wheel to install. The title is clear and this vehicle has never been in an accident. I encourage you to contact me and set up an appointment to look at this beauty yourself. I guarantee you’ll fall in the love the second you hear the exhaust tone. Message me for any questions and concerns. Thanks for looking!

Forget about greenlighting it, BMW is already testing the M2

Thu, 08 May 2014

One week ago, we reported, with some skepticism, that BMW had greenlit a car we've been waiting for since the 1 Series M Coupe was discontinued - the M2. Now, we have the first images of that new hotshot underoing testing in Germany.
What's our reasoning here? After all, this just looks like an M235i. Well, that camo is disguising swollen fenders designed to conceal wider tires. Now, these aren't production changes, and it's very likely that the eventual M2's fenders will look quite a bit different. According to our spy, the front fenders have been borrowed from the M235i Racing, while the rears are from an unknown source.
Our spies are also quick to point out a few other high-performance items on this mule. The cross-drilled brakes and blue M calipers are one such item, although we aren't sure how much they differ from the optional stoppers on the production M235i. The black wheels are borrowed from the M3 and M4, and are shod in what look like a sticky set of Michelin tires.
