BMW M's finest creations, powered by the legendary 4.9L S62 V8 (394HP) paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission. Finding an unmodified, rust-free example with documented maintenance and original paint is becoming increasingly difficult.
Highlights:
Clean title
Original paint
Rust-free California car
124,000 miles
Complete maintenance records
Stock and unmodified
VANOS service completed
Cooling system refreshed
New tires
Clean interior
No major dents or body damage
Condition:
The car runs and drives exceptionally well. The S62 pulls strongly, the transmission shifts smoothly, and the car feels tight and composed. It has been maintained with the focus of preserving it as a proper E39 M5 rather than modifying it.
Exterior paint presents well and remains original and the interior is clean and well cared for with minimal wear consistent with age and mileage.
The vehicle has a clean title. A prior rear bumper accident occurred during my ownership and was professionally repaired. Repair costs were approximately $5,000. The damage was limited to the rear area, and the car had no structural or frame damage
Major Maintenance:
VANOS service completed
Cooling system refresh completed
New tires installed
Routine maintenance performed and documented
Extensive service records included
Known Issues:
In the interest of full transparency, please note the following:
Front passenger door is currently inoperative
Rear sunshade is inoperative
Rear passenger exterior signal light is inoperative
Factory navigation system is not functioning (i.e., no pixel)
None of these issues impact drivability, reliability, or performance.
Included with Sale:
Maintenance records
Owner documentation
2 set of Keys
Summary:
This is not a brand-new or fully restored example, and I am not advertising it as one. As with any 20+ year-old E39 M5 car, there are always service items a new owner may choose to address depending on their standards. This is an honest, well-maintained, highly original E39 M5 that has received the important mechanical attention these cars require. If you're looking for a stock example with original paint, extensive records, completed VANOS work, and a documented maintenance history, this car deserves consideration.
