Would you be willing to sell the winter wheels / tires separately?

Sure. But I don't want to ship them. Willing to drive 200 miles though if you want to meet halfway between your home and mine. $1,400 for the wheels and tires. By the way, the wheels are BMW Style 66. I had them refinished (powder coat silver) in November 2011. According to BMW, these are one of the few 17" wheels that will fit over stock M5 brakes. Moving this to the parts section. Reply to that thread if interested:

I can't edit the original post so I'll use this reply to explain. I'm going to not include the winter wheels and tires. I will list those separately in the parts section. Also, after looking at KBB, I'm dropping the price of the car (and weeping a bit as I do this, since I have so much into it already) to $24,800. The car is in excellent condition, impeccably maintained. I think someone is going to love this car. Remember, the car at this price does *not* include the winter wheels and tires.

Also, here's a photo link that works: 2003 BMW M5 - a set on Flickr

Ok I have to ask...why not just sell back to EAG? I am sure you could easily get your new asking price and likely more especially with those miles and they are always looking for clean examples and offer a buy back.

Good question. In fact, Eric from EAG just called (after seeing this listing) and is buying it back. So the car is sold.

EAG · 2nd July 2012, 15:57

Bought it this AM. Thanks Michael!

Ugh why do that to the community and sell back to EAG.. Now it'll be marked up $10K or more.
There goes hope in owning this one

I hear ya...nice ones seems to get taken up really quick and turned right back around to make a buck (i.e. '92 M5T was here in FL for $22k...now at EAG for $38k).

Carbon black/caramel is a nice combo, tho!
