2001 Bmw M5 - E39 - Silver Exterior - Black Leather Interior on 2040-cars
Lake Stevens, Washington, United States
|
I dreamed for years about owning my own Beast - E39 M5. I finally purchased this vehicle and lived the dream for two months as I commuted 15 miles round trip to work. Beginning in June, I started a new assignment with a 100 miles round trip journey. In fear of putting miles on the car and it depreciating rapidly, I bought a commuter and parked it in the garage for sunny days (rare in Washington State). However, as you can imagine it is a tease and cash tied-up when you cannot use a vehicle like this daily. So here it is on the open market for you to enjoy.
This Silver M5, with black leather interior, Alcantara headliner, and wood trim has only 59,400 miles. I purchased this car from its original owner (former politician in Seattle) who leased and then purchased it which demonstrates why the carfax suggests that I am the 3rd owner. When I purchased it, I had very little maintenance records from the prior owner so I immediately had a comprehensive maintenance completed. This maintenance consisted of seal replacements and flushes. Additionally, I had a new clutch installed as it was slipping. So, nearly $5k in costs later, you can see why I didn't fix the gas pressure issue and power mirror. Now, that said, I did "have" to spend $3k on exhaust, H&R springs (installed with an alignment and warranty), mint Michelin tires, and good condition E39 M5 wheels because for some reason the prior owner replaced the original wheels with aftermarket wheels and never put an exhaust on it! My price also includes a spare set of mint tires (Toyos) with the purchase. As a bonus, this car comes with a superb stereo system with rear-deck mounted sub-woofers with a tape deck and 6-disc cd changer, short throw, upgraded pedals, bmw rubber floor mats, M5 carpet floor mats, and a mounted radar detector (sensors installed on front and rear bumpers with the head unit installed in front of the gear shift). I am not desperate to sell my Beast but like I said, it is a tease and it is tied up cash. I hope to sell it to a proud owner who understands and appreciates the thrill of owning the greatest production sedan ever made. |

Even 'Ring taxi drivers need to respect the Green Hell
Wed, 06 Aug 2014The Nürburgring Nordschleife has the reputation as one of the most difficult tracks in the world to master - deservedly so. With 14 miles of roadway and about 160 corners over a massive amount of elevation change, the amount of grip can change from turn to turn. As the driver of the famous BMW Ring Taxi learned this weekend after a shunt into the barricades, the 'Ring can bite unsuspecting pros just as easily as amateurs.
The video of the incident below shows the M5 oversteering right into the wall as a phalanx of Porsche models arrive behind it. According to Bridge to Gantry, a website that specializes in news about the 'Ring, the taxi's passengers were picked up by another Ring Taxi and driven off with a fantastic story to tell their friends back home. "The accident happened at low speed, there were two passengers in the car, but no one had at any injuries," said BMW spokesperson Cypselus von Frankenberg to Autoblog via email.
The crash also closed track for over an hour to clean up and to haul the stricken BMW away. When a driver making a living from driving lap after lap at the Nordschleife has a crash even as seemingly minor as this one, it just goes to show why the course has the nickname 'The Green Hell.'
The Homer to contest 24 Hours of LeMons
Thu, 27 Jun 2013It's finally happened. A 24 Hours of LeMons team has built the definitive interpretation of The Homer from The Simpsons for competition in an upcoming race. As you may recollect, The Homer is the fictional car designed by Homer Simpson for his brother's car company. Designed with a separate compartment for screaming children and other Homer-centric goodies, the animated machine bankrupted its parent company and put Homer's brother out of a job. Now we get to watch it race other crap cans as it tackles Southern California's Buttonwillow Raceway on June 29. Scott Chamberlain, Kris Linquist, Reid Conti, Ben Reilly and Mike Yepes will helm the machine, and Jeff Herman serves as the team's creative director.
The racer is the latest incarnation of a well-abused BMW 3 Series. The team campaigned the same E30 under the "Prickstine" banner as a Chrysler Imperial tribute and "Porcubimmer," the latter being a riff on the ever-popular joke about the difference between porcupines and BMW models. Never gets old. You can check out a video of the finished Homer below, and be sure to like the team on Facebook to see updates from the race. Now, about that Canyonero...
BMW X4 M probably not in the cards
Thu, 26 Sep 2013BMW is preparing to exploit its latest market niche - those that find themselves unable to choose between the 3 Series, 4 Series and X3 - with the X4. If you're looking for an M product, though, you'll remain limited to the 3 and 4 Series. BMW's Bernhard Ederer, at the Australian launch of the X5, told Car Advice he wouldn't "bet on it," when asked about a hotter X4.
Oddly, Ederer's reasoning, according to the Aussies, is out of concern for the X6 M, whose sales the X4 M would apparently cannibalize. That's like saying the M3 doesn't make sense because it will cannibalize M5 sales - the logic just doesn't really hold up. "The question is what customers are we talking to? And are we talking to someone that is willing and able to afford [an X6 M]?" Ederer told Car Advice.
Car Advice seems to feel the same way, claiming the X3-based X4 will share its powertrains with its donor platform, and will eventually spawn an M variant, albeit a few years down the line.
