I'm selling my 2001 BMW M5 due to a recent home purchase and don't want to be burdened with mortgage, HOA, car payment, insurance, parking, and maintenance. With regret, I need to sell off all unnecessary expenses and live frugally. That means my M5 is up for sale. $17k obo
</p>

<br><br>

<ul>
<li>103k miles
<li>Clean title and well-maintained
<li>Titanium silver on black
<li>Exterior/interior in excellent condition
<li>Mechanically in excellent condition
<li>Rare extended leather option means dash and console are made of leather</li>
</ul>

<br><br>

<b>Good</b>
<ul>
<li>Registration paid until Dec 2011
<li>Garaged every night
<li>Exhaust CPS replaced at 97.2k miles
<li>TPS replaced at 97.5k miles
<li>Fuel pump replaced at 98k miles
<li>Tires are a few months old and still beefy
<li>Only used Castrol Syntec TWS 10W60 oil every 7500 miles
<li>Clutch-stop and 545i factory short shifter feels so much better over stock
<li>Navigation system upgraded to MKIV DVD system
<li>New carpets
</ul>

<br><br>

<b>Issues</b>
<ul>
<li>Needs new brake pads, current ones are pretty loud but still work phenomenally
<li>CD magazine is old and doesn't work anymore, but the CD changer works perfectly
<li>Door seals are in rough shape and makes noise when driving over bumps
</ul>

<br><br>

<p>
This car is well-maintained and drives like a dream. I'll be fixing the issues over the next month or so. I'll also throw in a whole 8 or 9 quarts of Castrol Syntec 10w60 engine oil and a ZHP 6-speed shift knob.

sweet ride

thanks

I don't have enough posts to respond to PMs, so here is the answer to one of them:

Title is clean, no accidents. Unfortunately, I don't have any maintenance records as I bought it from a dealership who bought it from an auction. I've done some work to it myself and have records of those, but they're all listed in the ad. From what I remember, Exhaust CPS, TPS, and fuel pump. I've cleaned the MAF bodies a few times too (rubbing alcohol on the sensor and simple green on the tube).

The clutch was replaced prior to me buying the car in April of this year. I only put on like 10k miles on it, and the clutch felt very good. No slippage, and others who've driven the car have said the same thing. I don't know if the dash was fixed for dead pixels, but there were no dead pixels when I bought it and no dead pixels now.

Do you know what mileage the last overhaul was done on the brakes (rotors, pads, fluid, etc)? Are there any transmission problems (2nd or 3rd gear shifting)? Does this have the rear fold-down seats option? M-audio? Thanks.

 

[heffy]

Sorry, I don't know when the brakes were last overhauled. No transmission problems of any kind. The rear seats fold down, but no M Audio.

that's right, no CEL or SES light :hihi:

 

[gcbimmer]

Very nice!!

 

[heffy]

thanks. It's really a nice, clean example of an M5, but I'm unfortunately getting low-balled left and right on the car. The only reason I'm selling is that I'm moving to a studio condo in SF and there's no parking. I refuse to park it on the street. I'm also applying for a job that's 3 blocks away, so it'll just sit there not doing much if I keep it. I'd rather it go to someone who can really appreciate the car instead of me keeping it and driving it once a month or so.

Very nice M5. Is the V1 included? Don't want to low ball, but is the price flexible at all?
