"Fast as FVCK"....not, not with that limp wristed torque, but an E55 instead

 

I want stick shift, and I want non ugly body style, and hopefully by early next week, I will have an E39 M5.

 

Just checked out the pics on eBay and wow-o-wow that's one gorgeous e39 M5. I keep starring at the pics...looks brand new. I hope you pick this one up. What a Bimmer!

 

No, I let this one go because it's a ticking time bomb.

The guy never changed the diff, coolant, power steering, brake fluid, etc. All those fluids are from 2003!

If the fluids had been up to date, I would have been driving around this car now.

 

ad says diff/oil/tranny fluid were changed 1600miles.

Also, get a e63 if you're considering a merc over the bmw.

 

Yes, he missed the 1200 mile service by 400 miles, and that was the last time the trans and diff fluid was changed.

The coolant is original, so are the brake fluid, the power steering fluid, etc.

That is nuts for a car that is almost 8 years old.

I will never consider a Benz, they are automatics.

 

stuka.....check these out.

they're a bit overpriced, but worth a try. haven't seen any good imola red ones out there lately.

i'm on my second e39 M5 and i've considered getting something else several times, but nothing is as appealing or as raw as the e39. so, i decided to keep it and extend my easycare warranty. you've got the right plan....pick one up w/ a warranty and drive it forever. this car has a presence on the road that is hard to beat....classic lines that make the car look much more aggressive and aesthetically pleasing than an E60 imo.

plus, it's nice to roll a car that is quite rare these days. there are only 30 03' models for sale on autotrader. i went by my dealer yesterday and he was cool enough to pull up some auction numbers on my 2001. there are none at the auctions currently.....this is quite a niche market.



hope this helps.

Silverstone E39 1996-2003 For Sale 2002 BMW M5 60K $23,995 Houston, TX - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

 

I thought that sterling looked familiar, so I checked the VIN.

That's the one I almost bought, that car is worth maybe 20K given the mileage.

The entire front end was resprayed, and resprayed badly that you can see the overspray.

Why do people lie in this day and age when a paint meter is easily accessible?

 

Thanks for your help.

I am finalizing the paperwork on a low mile 2003 CB/black extended leather M5 as we speak with no paintwork. Fingers crossed.
