2000 Bmw M5 Dinan Upgrades / Rare / Carbon Black / Fast Fast Fast!!! /// on 2040-cars

Often called the best BMW ever made. An April 2000 Carbon Black BMW M5. If you don’t know about this car, Motor Trend called it “the greatest super-sedan of all time.” Edmunds described it as having “all the best a car can offer,” and said “there isn’t a four-door car on earth that can touch it.” I have owned it for about two years and have treated as if I would keep it forever. I’m selling it because I want to buy a truck to fish and kayak with. (I couldn’t ever bring myself to put a roof rack on the top of this beast.) I have replaced everything that needed it, and many things that didn’t. Please see below for a detailed list, but I put in a brand new clutch, rotors, brakes, front upper control arms, front bumper, and Z3M short shifter, and I repainted the front hood . My Buy-It-Now price takes this and the Dinan upgrades into account. You could buy one for 15,000, but then you’ll likely have to put in a clutch, brakes, and all the other things that the previous owner put off. With this, you won’t have to do a thing. The clutch feels amazing and the brakes are spectacular. Famous for being the ultimate "wolf in sheep's clothing,” a 1999-2001 M5 is a highly sought after car. It is extremely fast, but still very drivable and comfortable. This V-8 will go for more than 200,000 miles, I have no doubt. I wouldn’t have spent the money on the brakes, rotors, hood, bumper, etc if I were not completely confident in the engine. Here are a few things that I did in October. All the following have less than 2000 miles on them: • New OEM clutch from Bavarian Auto • Refinished flywheel • New Front upper control arms from Bavarian Auto • New OEM rotors from Bavarian Auto • New Padgen Red Brake pads from Bavarian Auto • Brand-new OEM front bumper installed a few months ago at Northwest Arkansas BMW. Wanted to freshen it up. • New Tires: German Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires--at least 90% wear remaining. These are widely accepted as some of the best tires available for this car. They feel amazing. • Side, front, and curtain airbag restraint system (extremely safe) I just installed a Z3M short shifter. This shortened the shift pulls a lot and reduced free play a lot in the shifter. It was just installed, so it is a bit tight still but will wear in a bit with time. However, if you don’t like the short shifter, it is very easy to take back to stock. Don’t spend 35,000 on a new so-called “sports” car. This will absolutely outperform them for a fraction of the price. It will out-accelerate, out-brake, and out-corner almost any car you come across. This is truly a super car hiding in 5-series body. And unless you know what you’re looking at, you would never guess what is lurking under its beautiful hood. Please listen to my video to hear how tight and powerful the engine is in my video. It runs like a dream. No Vanos noise. No timing chain chatter. It will still pull very hard all the way in 5th gear, yet I always get 25 miles to the gallon on the highway. Not bad for a massive 400+ horsepower car. I bought this car about two years ago and have enjoyed it immensely. It spent most of its life in California, and it has no signs of rust. I never drive it in the rain, and it is always garaged. It has a clean title. There is some wear on the leather, which I’ve tried to document. I could have re-dyed it, but in my opinion that is a little dishonest. If I were keeping it, the wear would not bother me. When I’m in the car, I’m sitting on it. :) The rear bumper is fading a bit. Again, it didn’t bother me enough to have it painted. There is also some road rash on the wheels. Again, nothing major and this didn’t bother me enough to buy new wheels. However, you can find the original wheels for about $900. I want to be very honest and forthcoming about any imperfections. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Please let me know if you have any questions, and happy bidding!
Also, here are some specifications: • Dinan S2 Software, Dinan Exhaust, 155-mph speed limiter removed by Dinan • 400+ horsepower, 5.0-liter all-aluminum DOHC V-8 395 pound-feet of torque, 11.0:1 compression ratio, 7000-rpm redline, six-speed manual gearbox, and 18-inch wheels • 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds, quarter mile in 13.2 seconds at 107.4 mph • Top speed approximately 180 mph; no limiter • "Sport" button that, when activated, livens up the rate of throttle tip-in for seriously quick response • eight separate throttle butterflies that are controlled electronically upgraded cooling system • semi-dry-sump, g-sensitive lubrication system • free-flowing DINAN-upgraded dual exhaust system • six-speed gearbox (matched with 3.15:1 rear axle gearing) • unique front fascia with black cross-hatched grille work, round fog lamps, and headlight washer nozzles • Park Distance Control beeping warning system • M5-specific ultra-supportive bucket seats • a programmable interior ventilation system to cool the cabin when you're away • computerized navigation system—works perfectly • Amazing M-Audio sound system—AM/FM/cassette radio, 6-disc changer, factory-installed dual subwoofers (This is the best factory sound system I have ever heard, including a brand new Infinity and brand new upgraded Jeep system I’ve heard. It is spectacular.) • onboard tire-pressure monitoring • Dynamic Stability (traction) Control • 16-way heated power seats • Sunroof with tilt function • Angel eyes/Halo headlights • Fold-down rear seats and huge 11.1 cubic foot trunk • RARE black and caramel interior • Alcantara suede headliner in perfect condition (These sell for $1000+ used!) • Tilting passenger side-view mirror for parking assist • Auto-dimming mirrors • Factory-disabled rear airbags (if you have a child seat or young child in the back). Can be turned on. |

Researchers halfway to cutting carbon fiber costs by 90%
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Carbon fiber has been utilized for decades to build racecars, as a means to cut weight while maintaining strength. But until recently, the space-age material has been largely absent from the street on anything but supercars because of the expense to use it. Recently, BMW signaled a major shift in that trend when it starting using carbon fiber reinforced plastic panels on the i3 and i8. This relatively small scale start might be just the beginning; the German company believes that a breakthrough to inexpensively manufacture the lightweight stuff is just on the horizon.
MAI Carbon Cluster Management GmbH counts BMW, Audi, Airbus, the German government and many other organizations as supporters, and it's researching how to make carbon fiber cheaper to produce, according to Automotive News Europe. The company thinks it can reduce costs by 90 percent in the near future. "We've certainly reached a halfway point on our cost-cutting target for suitable carbon-fiber parts," said project head Klaus Drechsler to Automotive News Europe.
Unfortunately, it isn't entirely clear just what MAI Carbon is doing to make such a huge leap possible. However, a recent post on the company's website talks about a new form a carbon fiber using a thermoplastic matrix that could be cured in less than three minutes. That's compared to about 90 minutes in the traditional process with an autoclave.

The List: The Red BMW - A Retrospective
Mon, 23 Dec 2013We can't help but use this time of year to look back at the days before and reminisce about friends who are no longer in our lives. For The List, Jessi and Patrick were often joined by a little, red BMW 3 Series that, at times, felt like a third host of the show. Having been bought used for just a thousand bucks, the red BMW proved to be surprisingly durable. Through jumps, dunks and monster trucks, it remained our little trooper 'till the very end, and on the way taught us all how important a faithful four-wheeled companion is to the life's work of completing one's automotive bucket list.
For our last episode of The List in 2013, we give you The Red BMW - A Retrospective.
