After a year of wonderful ownership, I've decided to part with my Black Sapphire Metallic BMW M5. This car is incredible, and the only reason I'm selling it is because I primarily work from home now and rarely drive the car. That means I don't need a 4 door supercar and can finally get the Porsche 911 I've always wanted. I am very particular with all my cars and this one is meticulously maintained (with records).

I welcome any and all inquiries about the car, will consider all reasonable offers, and present the car for viewing and pre-purchase inspections. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a viewing/PPI. The car is located with me in central NJ, very convenient via most highways in the region.

The car is a rare 6 speed manual example, with only a handful up for sale around the country. I guarantee you that NONE of the others have been maintained to the level of my car. For those who've done their homework you already know that the manual transmission is the way to go on these cars for two reasons. 1) Where else will you find a manual transmission + a V10 engine in a 4 door sedan? 2) The SMG auto-manual transmissions are notorious for failure and costly repairs. When picking up a used M5 why bother yourself with the worry of a transmission that will need repair in a matter of time. The 6 speed manual on these is virtually bullet proof with many owners surpassing 100,000 miles on the original clutch.

The car has already had its spark plugs and brake pads replaced as well and does not need another penny until it hits 60,000 miles.

The Good:
I have taken care of this car as if I were keeping it forever, both cosmetically & mechanically
I have performed every single service on time and in many cases ahead of schedule; the car needs absolutely nothing
I have had zero mechanical/electrical/anything issues with the car. It is solid as a rock, exceptionally clean, and has just been detailed as well
The upgrades I've performed have truly enhanced the feel of the car and have made it more responsive as well as nimble

The Bad:
Half-dime sized ding on hood; barely noticeable and can easily be repaired with out paintwork (can't even capture it with a camera)
Faint scratch on pass-side rear bumper, wax covers it up nicely (pictured)

Faint stress paint mark on rear bumper near trunk, was there when I purchased the car and has not grown since (pictured)

Things I HAVE done with this car:
Driven it on long road trips
Stretched its legs on twisty mountain roads
Commuted to and from work
Tested it on a 1/4 strip (rolling start, no launch or burnout)

Things I HAVE NOT done with this car:
Crashed it
Drifted it
Burnouts/donuts in it
Abused it
Dropped the clutch/launched it

This car makes an excellent daily driver, weekend toy, collectable, or race car - or all of that in one. It gets attention enthusiast and non-enthusiast alike, without being overly flashy or pretentious.

I prefer a buyer who can pick-up locally in NJ, but will allow for shipping anywhere in North America at the buyers expense. Payment is due in full by cash OR bank check within 7 days of purchase.

Here is a short YouTube clip to show how the car sounds. This video was taken Sept. 29, 2013. - http://youtu.be/bGnGAqFOSWE

Note: eBay's built in AutoCheck list the car as having 4 owners. I am actually the third owner. The first owner leased the car new from BMW and then at 20,000 miles bought out his lease and purchased the car. eBay views that as 2 owners, but CarFax and BMW see it as 1 owner. Eventually the first owner traded the car into JMK BMW in NJ who certified the car in 2012 and sold it with BMW's CPO warranty to the car's second owner. In Feb. 2013 I purchased the car directly from the second owner still with BMW's extended warranty active, however I never had to use the warranty coverage. The warranty period ended July 19, 2013, the car is in excellent shape and needs nothing.

Permanent erection lawsuit against BMW thrown out

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

The California man who claimed that he suffered from a 20-month erection after a four-hour ride on his BMW K1100RS motorcycle (similar model pictured above) has had his case dismissed. It seems the court found his claims too hard to believe.
Henry Wolf filed a product liability lawsuit against BMW and seatmaker Corbin-Pacific in the California Superior Court in April 2012 after he claimed a motorcycle ride in September 2010 caused a long-term case of priapism from the "ridge-like" saddle design. He asked for compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and emotional distress from both companies.
Nearly two years later, according to Visor Down, Judge James J. McBride decided that the case didn't have enough supporting evidence. A urologist testified that the plaintiff had priapism, but the court rejected the testimony of a neurologist who claimed the motorcycle's vibration caused the disorder. The defendants presented testimony from the bike's former and subsequent owners. Corbin-Pacific CEO Mike Corbin also spoke in the company's defense.

BMW X4 Concept images leak ahead of Shanghai debut

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Last month, BMW confirmed that its long-awaited X4 crossover would debut next year, but other than imagining a smaller X6-shaped crossover, we really had no idea what the new niche model would look like. That is until a Russian website, Autowp, leaked a handful of embargoed images this morning showing the X4 Concept that will be unveiled in a couple of weeks at the Shanghai Motor Show.
From what we can see of this concept's styling, there are more elements shared with current BMW models than not. The face of the concept is an attractive blend of the current 3 Series sedan and the X3, while the roofline has definitely plucked right from the X6. This thinly veiled concept should carry over almost untouched when it enters production with the exception of the door handles and the overly stylized fascias and side mirrors. According to CarScoops, it will measure the same length as the current X3 and use the same engine lineup as well. Stay tuned, as we'll have more information on this concept shortly.

Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker

Sat, 02 Aug 2014

There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
