It's that time. We're putting the RPi E60 M5 up for sale. If you're looking for a serious powerhouse vehicle here's your chance.

This is a single-owner, very well taken care of 2006 Silver Gray M5. It's been in no accidents. The front bumper was never drilled for a license plate. The vehicle currently has 32,125 miles. It was ordered, not picked from dealer stock, so it was never test driven, nor sat on a lot.

It has a custom clear wrap done by Premier Protective Films International done since it was brand new (about 50 miles into ownership). The film covers the front bumper, front quarter panels, all 4 doors, the rocker panels, door handles, and sideview mirrors. This is not a pre-cut kit, where you can see the lines. The edges of the film were wrapped around the panels. There are some smudges and scuffs on the protective film, but it's done a great job protecting the paint.

The car was always parked on an end space to help avoid door dings when out. It was also always garaged and never allowed to dry in the sunlight (to avoid water spots). Washing, polishing, and waxing was done front to back in straight lines, from the cleanest panel (roof) to dirtiest (bumpers and rocker panels). This was to help avoid the "starburst" of micro-scratches you tend to see on darker color cars.

Hüper Optik Ceramic tint is applied to all of the windows including the sunroof.

Driver's side (clean, no dings):

Rear bumper (small chip near bottom corner):

Rear bumper from opposite side:

Vorsteiner hood:

Closeup of the two dings on the passenger side rear door. The door has the protective wrap on it. This means the dings didn't go through the paint, so it can be popped back out. It did go through the protective film though (that's why the black color. There's some dust in it):

Interior viewed from passengers side front door. Sorry for the lint on the side of the dash. Was still cleaning car for this picture:

God I want that hood so bad!
Would you be interested in parting with it?

Xeno,


While we'd prefer to sell the entire car as is, if that ends up not happening, we may be willing to part it out. We will let you know if that is the case.


Thank you for your interest.


Gabe

 

[Xeno]

Please do. I've been hunting for the better part of a year for that peach.
Good luck.

 

[jcolley]

Holy crap, an old timer!

I wasn't even sure you still had the car, I read a lot of your posts early on.

Car is in great shape and has to be an absolute monster. GLWS.

 

[MikesE60]

Damn, beat me to it Danny lol. Been looking for that hood also!

 

[NobleM400]

Thanks folks.


Price drop to $44k.

 

[EuroCarFan]

I think you need to transfer over that SC to an "employee" to keep it in the family?

 

[RacerX0911]

That's a great price! Let me know if you part out as well. Will take the supercharger!

 

[iRideBikes07]

What a beautiful beast, I wish I had 44 grand laying around. :frown

 

[LeeDan00]

Amazing build with quality parts! GLWS and I really hope it goes to a good home and someone on this forum.

Dan

 

[NobleM400]

Thanks folks! Hard to let go of, but I guess it's that time. I do hope whoever buys is/becomes active on the forums.

 

[NobleM400]

Price drop to $42k.

 

[JrMint03]

PM sent.

 

[NobleM400]

Passenger side door film removed and door dings taken out:

New hood struts installed (old ones were starting to get a little tired).

VMS wheels will now be included as well (in addition to the stock), if buyer wants them.

 

[SidekickChuck]

Where is this car located? I do not know where RPV? Rancho Palos Verdes CA?

 

[NobleM400]

Yeah, straight down the 110 South from you, about 50 minutes.

 

[Jon Brown]

any chance you have sound clips of this beast?

 

[ChrisM5Bmw]

I live in Calabasas and would like to come see the car in person early next week. I am sure the car is everything I think it is and probably more. If we can agree on a price I will most likely be enjoying it all the way back home with me. Please text or call me at your conveince. If you have any pictures of the car with the VMS wheels please text or email them.
Thank you,
Chris

I'll look for one. The supercharger doesn't really change the sound of the vehicle too much.
