Sadly, finances force me to part with the beast. I purchased it from the original owner in December and have put roughly 3,000 miles on the clock.
Car is 100% stock except for Hartge wheels (does not come with stock wheels), fresh window tint, rear badge removed, and new black floormats
(comes with the original caramel set). There are a few pics in my gallery and I will post more this weekend.
Oil, oil filter, and cabin filters were changed at time of purchase in December when the ODB recall was performed. Please see dealer service report below for the rest of the vehicle's history.

Here are some pics and the Carfax report from December. Forgot to mention in the original post that the car is always garaged and a non-smoking vehicle.
Sorry you have to get rid of the beast. Nice looking car and low miles!
If I were you I'd buy a set of OE wheels (used/refurbished) and put them on. You can sell the Hartage wheels separately. I think the Hartage wheels are love/hate and you may be turning off some buyers.
Appreciate the feedback on the wheels. I may well end up replacing them with a stock set assuming the car doesn't move quickly. The Nova5's in chrome, while not my favorite, have grown on me a bit and they do look better in person than in photos.
I just wanted to tell you that you have the most beautiful car. The combination of the Caramel and LMB is simply stunning. And while I am looking for an M5, this one is out of reach. But best of luck to you.
agree with the others on the wheels. otherwise, that is one beautiful m5! gl with the sale, i just love that caramel interior...in fact i love it so much i have it in mine!!
I just came back from looking at this car. It was simply stunning. The color combo of the LMB on the Caramel full interior was just perfect. The 4 rears on all corners were perfect. The PS2's looked great. The car looked brand new. The only flaws I saw were two tiny rock chips and a tiny crease low on the passenger side fender. I am sure that it could be taken out with paintless dent removal.The door panels squeaked a little bit, but Lee picked up some spray from the dealer that should take care of that. The car drove fantastically. The engine rev'd smoothly and there was no sign the car was abused. I wish I had the cash for this car:crying2:. I would have taken it home in an instant!
Good luck on your sale - it is the fastest color combo AND the most stunning one as well!
BTW - Maybe market in CA is better than East right now but you will have a tough time at that price. Sadly enough the depreciation is not help by the recent economic environment... :crying2:
Hey, unsolicited advice warning: if you are truly serious about selling the car this time, then you need to stop wasting your time with asking for serious offers and just put it on eBay. That's always gotten me the most action for any car that I'm selling. Too many low-ball trollers on this forum for an expensive rare car like yours. Best of luck.
Personally, I will disagree because my eBay experience wasn't very good. I used to own a very low mile, 20k miles, 2005 E46 M5, 6MT, very desirable car and I got very low offers on eBay. Ended up selling privately to a coworker for much higher that anyone on eBay offered me.
