For your consideration, an E39 2001 BMW M5. Title in hand! Two owner car! Original owner was a prominent business man who had the car meticulously maintained. Purchased the car 2yrs ago from Chicago.

List of what I did:
-Wrapped Interior Trim
-Re-wrapped Steering wheel (Leather and Alcantera)
-Both MAF sensors
-Vanos Solenoids tested and repaired
-Door lock solenoid
-Pixels repaired on instrument cluster
-Fuel Pump and Filter

This car is a BMW icon. In many opinions, the E39 M5 was the best M5 built to date! Perfect combination of style and performance. The 4l V8 produces 400hp, and takes this car from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. You will not be unsatisfied with this cars performance, I assure you!

Car notes:

The e39 M5 like e46 M3's have noisy vanos units. This noisy is what the describe as "diesel rattle!" I can provide more information if needed. See link from Dr Vanos below.

These units are also well known for the annoying rattling or diesel sound heard at idle and low RPM's. It needs mentioning that the rattling noise is not related to the failing seals or solenoids, and is a separate issue of it's own. It will not harm the engine and is not an indication of the health of the vanos, but is simply an engineering oversight that can be easily fixed with some minor internal modifications.
The common M5 'diesel rattle' can be attributed to the splined gears that fit at the back of the vanos, connecting the vanos to the cam gears. Each splined gear has a bearing assembly inside which allows it to spin freely with the camshaft. These bearing assemblies are designed with a very loose tolerance from the manufacturer, causing them to rattle or resonate at certain RPM's. At DrVanos we slightly modify these bearings to bring the tolerances much closer together for a tighter fit. By reducing the tolerances in the bearing assembly, the gears no longer resonate and the diesel rattling is reduced considerably. This is a permanent modification that will last the life of the car.
There is an oil pan leak(small). Either lower pan or oil sending solenoids

There is one dent that needs to be removed

Fender liner was previously scraped on the front lower valence.

Car is located in Economy Borough PA, a northern Pittsburgh, PA suburb.

Is the BMW i8 actually already sold out?

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

The other day we brought you a report from Reuters, which quoted BMW's global sales chief Ian Robertson as saying that the Bavarian automaker had already sold out the entire year's production run of its new i8. Impressive, sure, but perhaps not all that unusual for a groundbreaking new sportscar from a major automaker, of which only limited quantities are typically built. But is the i8 really sold out?
Our compatriots at Car and Driver chased down the story and report that Robertson's claims aren't exactly accurate. According to C/D, the numbers are based on sales projections, not actual orders taken. So while BMW may build upwards of 1,900 i8 coupes next year and over 5,000 in 2015, and while they're all expected to sell, that doesn't mean that it's too late to get your order in. That is, assuming you have the $135k on hand and don't mind getting just three cylinders back in return.

BMW i8 added to exotic Dubai police fleet

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Apparently the Dubai Police is ready to start expanding its vast collection of exotic cars yet again. After taking a little while off from new purchases, the cops there recently added a Lexus RC F to the stable, and now the force has gone green – well, kind of. The latest high-performance vehicle to wear the green and white livery is a BMW i8. While the video above isn't in English, the clip is self-explanatory by showing off officials getting out of the high-performance hybrid coupe and taking a walk around it. With a total output of a mere 357 horsepower, the i8 is practically the economy entry in the Dubai Police fleet that includes a Bugatti Veyron and McLaren MP4-12C.

BMW planning Chinese recall for engine part issue [w/video]

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

After receiving an unspecified number of complaints in China, BMW has reportedly started a "full investigation" into what may be a defective part in its VANOS engine control system. BMW said via a Chinese blog that it would file a recall application with the the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in China.
BMW has not yet announced how many vehicles will be recalled, or which models the potential recall might cover. We're also curious as to whether the VANOS issue could extend into markets outside of China.
We've placed a call with BMW in the United States, and will update this post as soon as we hear back. Stay tuned for more, and if you're curious about what VANOS is and how it works, scroll down below for a video animation.
