Bmw: M5 Base Sedan 4-door on 2040-cars

For sale is a 2002 BMW M5 (e39 series). I purchased it less than a year ago from Half Moon Bay in CA (SF bay area). I purchased it because it was in great shape, ran perfectly, was a CA car, and had a reasonable number of service records at either a dealership or a local reputable shop. However, due to a job change, it has become a redundant vehicle so I am looking to sell it, otherwise I love the car and have always wanted an e39 M5. If youre looking at this car then you are probably aware of how desirable this generation of M5 is. It is refined and smooth, yet gives the driver access to raw power and great handling without all of the ridiculous electronics in the newer & Model: BMW M5Year: 2002VIN: Color: Jet BlackInterion Color: Black All Leather Nappa HeritageMileage: ~138,500HP: 394 HP @ 6600 RPMTorque: 368 ft-lbs @ 3800 RPMPackage: Base 4dr Sedan w/ Navigation System, Xenon Headlights, Alloy Wheel 18, M audio with advanced bass.Autocheck report (like a Carfax) by request, please ask.A lot of high quality pictures Condition (engine, transmission, etc.):It starts, runs, and drives perfectly. There are no unusual noises (no VANOS noise), issues, or warning lights (no check engine light). It shifts a little hard when cold but then becomes very smooth once everything gets to temperature. The brakes are powerful and smooth. Engine is stock with no mechanical or electronic modifications. I recently changed the engine oil and filter, the transmission fluid, and the differential fluid. I also had all new belts installed. Battery is relatively new and was replaced by the previous owner. It has recently passed both the NC and CA (more rigorous) emissions tests. This means that there is no carbon build-up issue.Paint and Body Condition:There is no rust anywhere that I can find. The paint is in really good condition for a 2002. It appears to me that the previous owner garaged the car most of the time. The car has been garaged 100% of the time by me when not in use. Most of my driving has almost exclusively been during dry weather. I have a second car that I use as a commuter. The exterior is in great shape compared to other 5-series of this age. There are a couple of small blemishes around the car from typical use. The passenger door has a small ding near the hinge area (see pics).Glass Condition:The front windshield has a few rock chips but nothing that is in an irritating location or that appears to be in danger of spreading, otherwise the windshield is in good condition. All other glass is in perfect condition. Recently had the windows professionally tinted with their best Llumar tint (it is NC legal). Tint has a transferrable lifetime warranty.Wheel and Tire Condition:All of the wheels have a little bit of cosmetic curb rash on them but are otherwise in very good condition and look great. The tires are almost new (less than 3k miles on them) and are quality tires (Continental Extreme Contact DW).Interior Condition:The car does show some wear and tear on the inside but nothing extreme. The Alcantara upholstery is in like new condition. The steering wheel and dash is in great shape. The leather seats are in great shape. The drivers side seat bolster (common wear area) is in very good condition. All other leather is in good shape. All lights work (except for the trunk light which is missing). The navigation screen has a few pixels that are out but it doesnt affect its function. The instrument panel digital display works like new (no missing pixels, looks like new). Some of the buttons and knobs show some wear, but again nothing that bad. The heater works and the AC blows very cold. The front passenger seat doesnt recline (this is a typical issue with e39 and is fixable). There is an iPhone connect that was installed by the previous owner, I have never tested it. I have also never tested the tape player or the CD changer in the trunk.Please let me know if you have any questions about the car. Price is negotiable to an extent. Title in hand.Thanks for looking!
