Small half-dime sized ding on hood (only noticeable when looking for it at certain angles), and faint scratch on rear pass-side bumper, covers with wax. Interior is in excellent shape and the rear seat is virtually unused. A few small rock chips here and there on front bumper. Otherwise perfect. Mechanically flawless."

After a year of wonderful ownership, I've decided to part with my Black Sapphire Metallic BMW M5.  This car is incredible, and the only reason I'm selling it is because I work from home and rarely drive the car.  I don't use it for short local trips and it primarily gets its milage on days I drive to the office (100 mile trip), go to a car show, or when I take it out just to drive and enjoy the experience.  I am very particular with all my cars and this one is meticulously maintained (with records) and is never driven until it has had a chance to warm up.

I welcome any and all inquiries about the car, will consider all reasonable offers, and present the car for viewing and pre-purchase inspections.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a viewing/PPI.  The car is located with me in central NJ, very convenient via most highways in the region.

The car is a rare 6 speed manual example, with only a handful up for sale around the country.  For those who've done their homework you already know that the manual transmission is the way to go on these cars for two reasons.  1) Where else will you find a manual transmission + a V10 engine in a 4 door sedan?  2) The SMG auto-manual transmissions are notorious for failure and costly repairs.  When picking up a used M5 why bother yourself with the worry of a transmission that will need repair in a matter of time.  The 6 speed manual on these is virtually bullet proof with many owners surpassing 100,000 miles on the original clutch.

Recent Services within last 6,000 miles:
- Oil changes x 2
- Full brake fluid flush
- Transmission fluid change
- M differential fluid change
- Shifter bushings replaced
- Wheel balancing
- Wheel alignment

The car has already had its spark plugs and brake pads replaced as well and does not need another penny until it hits 60,000 miles.  However if you're compulsive like me you'll at least want to do an oil change sooner than that.  Surprisingly maintenance on these cars is not as bad as people make it out to be.  Purchase your OEM fluids from a reputable site like turnermotorsport.com and then any shop can do the work (I only use BMW specialty shops).

The Good: 
I have taken care of this car as if I were keeping it forever, both cosmetically & mechanically
I have performed every single service on time and in many cases ahead of schedule; the car needs absolutely nothing
I have had zero mechanical/electrical/anything issues with the car. It is solid as a rock, exceptionally clean, and has just been detailed as well
The upgrades I've performed have truly enhanced the feel of the car and have made it more responsive as well as nimble

The Bad: 
Half-dime sized ding on hood; barely noticeable and can easily be repaired with out paintwork
2'' faint scratch on pass-side rear bumper, wax covers it up nicely
Faint stress paint mark on rear bumper near trunk, was there when I purchased the car and has not grown since


Things I HAVE done with this car: 
Driven it on long road trips 
Stretched its legs on twisty mountain roads
Commuted to and from work 
Tested it on a 1/4 strip (rolling start, no launch)


Things I HAVE NOT done with this car: 
Crashed it
Drifted it
Taken it to a race track
Done burnouts/donuts in it
Abused it
Dropped the clutch/launched it
Let other drive it
Driven it in the snow

This car makes an excellent daily driver, weekend toy, collectable, or race car - or all of that in one. It gets attention enthusiast and non-enthusiast alike, without being overly flashy or pretentious.

I prefer a buyer who can pick-up locally in NJ, but will allow for shipping anywhere in North America at the buyers expense.  Payment is due in full by cash OR bank check within 7 days of purchase.

BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead

Fri, 02 Aug 2013


Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial

Wed, 28 May 2014

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
