This car does not look or feel like a 200K+ mile car. You need to see it in person. This car has been well maintained and is in excellent condition. Power and handling are excellent and the car is a pleasure to drive. The interior is in clean with no broken parts or tears. Carpet and headliner are like new. Reliability is impeccable. It has never had an issue.


This is the sport version with matching molding colors and an Group M tuned suspension. The 6 speed manual gearbox makes this a true sport sedan. The 5 series BMW is an extraordinarily capable car blending the best of a luxury sedan and a sports car. The 4.4L V8 engine is amazing providing power at nearly any engine speed. The suspension makes back road driving a thrilling experience. There are not many cars on the road that can hold 5 people and cruise at 100 mph this is one of them. This truly is a drivers car.

I have kept up on all maintenance on this car and fixed everything as issue arose. There is a new differential, new clutch, and new tires all in the last year. There is some cosmetic damage that has occurred in the last couple of months that I have not fixed as I cannot justify the cost since I am selling it. Specifically, there are two dents in the engine hood from where two broken fan blades impacted when the fan clutch seized. The mechanicals were repaired but the cosmetic damage was not. You can see the damage in the pictures. The is also a dent in the trunk lid from years ago that I just never got around to fixing. Other than those items the only mechanical issue is a strange whining sound periodically when the car is starting. I believe it has to do with the starter motor, it may be getting close to replacement time.

This car is great opportunity for someone who want to drive a special vehicle but not pay a premium price. This car was $58K new and it still feels like a premium German sedan. Honestly, I've never liked the body style on the new 5 series. This car has the strong lines and aggressive stance that says BMW.

These cars are capable of 300K miles easily so don't let the mileage get you. This is your chance to drive a great car at reasonable price.

Watch man destroy his M6 'lemon' with a sledgehammer and ax

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Just to be clear, the owner of this BMW M6 isn't ready for another one. He and his friend destroyed the V10-powered coupe in anger at the entrance to the Frankfurt Motor Show in a decidedly public fashion. Bild and GT Spirit report that the owner was angry over mysterious quality and reliability issues that he claims BMW wasn't able to fix. What we have here, folks, is claimed to be a very expensive lemon.
As the story goes, owner Pourmohseni Hadi bought the 2007 M6 in 2008, and five years later, he is still complaining about mysterious vibrations, rattles and severe jolts during gear changes - the latter he says have caused passengers to become nauseous. The car was taken to several BMW repair shops in Italy and Hadi says he he has written a letter to the automaker about his issues, but the car was never fixed and the letter unanswered, he claims. What we don't know is how many miles the car has been driven and when all these problems started happening. The situation reminds us of a certain Lamborghini Gallardo from a couple years back.
While we understand Hadi's frustration, perhaps an M6 just doesn't suit his tastes. After all, we'd be lying if we said a perfectly functioning M6 of this generation wasn't bumpy over uneven surfaces and wouldn't make some passengers nauseous, with its stiffly sprung suspension and dizzying 500-horsepower V10. Anyone wanna bet his M6 was equipped with one of BMW's notoriously abrupt SMG single-clutch gearboxes?
