I am posting this here because I am looking to purchase an 02 or 03 low mileage M5. Before I do that I need to sell my Supra. Since that is the case it would be smart to open myself up to trade + cash type scenarios. The ideal M5 would be a Black or Anthracite on Black, with the Silver Sport trim interior. I will look at other exterior colors but the silver sport trim is a must.
Some pictures:
No expense was spared in this car. Everything is meticilous in this car. There is a new OEM shortblock in it with 5K miles on it (put in new). The chassis has 107K miles on it. The engine and turbo have never been boosted over 18PSI. I have yet to see what this car can fully do myself. Right now, with the larger exhaust housing it is putting down approximately 420RWHP on 91 pump gas. Even that has been fun and I have had no real need to put the better gas in and raise the boost. Everything is in place for 600RWHP and a fantastic road race car after some dyno tuning. Buyer is in charge of smog since this car will not pass CA smog. Buyers out of CA should have no problems.
I have started remodeling my kitchen so I have moved the car to Nevada (Reno area) for the winter. If there are serious buyers I can try to bring it back when the weather permits or arrangements can be made to go see the car. I will be in Nevada for Christmas and will get more pictures when I go up to see the car then.

Well over $30,000 invested in just parts. Add labor and you have easily over $50,000 invested. It is definitely cheaper to get this car than to get one and do it yourself. Achieving this level of quality would not be easy either.
I am asking $38K. VIN # JT2JA82J1R0014162
