Dear Board,
The time has come for me to part ways with my beloved 2002 M5. I have owned the car for almost 6 years and bought it almost stock with 75K miles. For the first two years (while it was mostly stock) I daily drove the hell out of it and put about 45K miles on it. Thereafter, I bought a daily driver and this car turned into a garage queen. I got the front end (bumper, hood and fenders) and rear bumper re-sprayed due to road rash, and since then I have been baby-ing the car. I have put tens of thousands into this car and the car looks as good as it runs. Unfortunately, I no longer have time to enjoy it and my priorities have changed, so on she goes to a good home.
Basics:
Modifications: I have installed all the modifications listed below during my ownership.
All maintenance is up to date except for the issues listed further down below. I have done most of the work on the car myself so I don't have many receipts, but I do have some. I never though I'd sell so I never took care to organize my records. Accordingly, below is a list of maintenance items I have taken care of with approximately milage where I can remember.
Maintenance Done since taking ownership:
I'm sure there has been more maintenance done, but those are the things that are currently coming to mind. The car drives like a top right now though and a PPI is welcome.
I'm sure I have missed a few things, but questions are welcome.
Price: $26,500
