If anyone is looking for a serious highway commuter car or street soldier, then look no further. This is a build date 05/2000 Titanium silver BMW M5 that just ticked over 100k on the odometer (that’s only 12,500 miles a year). Originally a California car until it was moved down here to Texas. It has never experienced road salt or snow. She is well maintained and used for my long highway commutes everyday. Unfortunately the new BMW 135 has stolen my heart and I need to sell the M5.
The car is extremely clean inside. Has the black extended leather package with suede headliner. All interior options were delivered with this car: navigation, parking assist sensors, 6-cd changer with the M-Audio package, power rear sunshade, M floormats, and integrated phone. The pixels are messed up on the instrument cluster as usual, but BMW has already approved the car for free replacement.
The exterior has a few rock chips in the hood and front bumper from all the highway miles. There are two nicks in the front bumper and one on the rear, and some micro scratches on the top of the left rear quarter panel. All in all, the paint is super shinny and is washed and waxed every weekend. Still has the stock M5 double parallel wheels finished in shadowchrome. They are in decent shape, but have some minor curbing on the outside lips. The chrome exhaust tips still sparkle. And of course the 10% tint all around doesn’t hurt its beautiful appearance. Just a clean, stock looking M5!
Mechanically, the car has been well maintained. This car was built post-ring redesign, so it has the updated rings. Updated VANOS (4-bolt), perfect mixture adaptation values, and it burns
NO OIL. You don’t need to fill this bad boy up with oil every 1000 mile! Very rare on an M5… All the usual suspects for a higher mileage M5 have been addressed recently: proactive rod bearing replacement, thrust arm bushings, tires (BF Goodrich G-Force Sports), brakes (Stoptech slotted rotors and Axxis ULT pads), MAF’s, oil (only Castrol TWS), leaking powersteering hose, fuel filter, sparkplugs (Stock NGK), transmission flush and refilled with Royal Purple Syncromax, differential fluid changed, all new shifter bushings replaced in addition to an e60 545 shift rod (BMW short shift kit). The car still needs: leaking passenger side valve cover gasket, passenger side foglight is cracked, and rear trailing arm links. I have all the receipts for maintenance since I’ve owned the car from the premier BMW mechanic in Houston. This machine is setup to be a driver’s car and is made to run! Car drives/shifts tight and still pulls like a freight train.
