So after having a 2001 530 with a blown engine for awhile and not finding a motor for what I wanted, I finally sold it when I had no where to put it. Now I decided to get another one.

1500 miles, a few hundred dead bugs and one dead battery later, shes finally home.

Some pics pre wash:





Some crummy pictures after a quick wash:







Its a 2000 M5 with 103k miles. Car is in great shape inside and out. Having only had the car 2 days I'm still getting used to it, but all I have to say is OMFG TORQUE!!!11!!1!!! Doesn't matter what gear you're in or at what speed, tap the gas and the car moves. The suspension is stiff but the car handles amazingly. The interior is awesome. Pretty much everything is either wrapped in leather or is covered in alcantara. Can't wait to drive it some more.

 

One of my fav looking BMW.

 

M3 used to be my thing but now M5 is what I lust after ... LOL .... great looking M5 ...nice pickup ..

 

Nice ride...where did you pick it up from that you drove 1,500 miles to bring her home?

 

I picked the car up in Dallas

 

Ahh, sounds like a nice way to break her in! Good Luck with it!!

 

Wow....congrats! Love the E39, one of the best looking sedans of all time

 

Congrats!

 

VERRRY nice Brett! I always wanted to go for a spin in one of those..........

 

looks great.

 

Nice!

 

Mmm, one of my favorite Bimmers.

Nice purchase. Have fun!!!

 

Service costs will be expensive for you

Congrats bud!!

 

Congrats dude! Wow, white on top of that I don't think I've seen a white E39 M5 for the time I've been on the m5board so far; it's not a common color for the E39. Enjoy her in the best of health, I miss mine

 

congrats that is a sweet ride, crazy you drove 1,500 miles though! the interior is pretty nice from what i can tell, does the car have the extended leather package?

 

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!



I was driving my dads 2003 e39 today,...I LOVE that car!!!

 

Mine too. and GL with new ride.

 

Mmmmmmmm what a beaut! I absolutely love that gen M5. I drooled all over the Car and Driver mag when it came out. White looks killer, too. Congrats and enjoy that beast!

 

congrats!!! m5.

 

Nice pick up!

Nice pickup. That is the best model for the 5 series before the abortion / Bangle era.

If you can work on it yourself, you'll save some $$$. Then go see BMW's best friend, Dinan

 

103k? Ouch. Looks nice though.

 

Nice ride man!

 

That's a lotta miles, but all the same to torque, it's intoxicating.

 

Very very nice! I can't even imagine how that thing moves on the highway

 

Nice E39 M5! I won't worry about the miles, my brother has had five BMW's (three 3's, one 5, and a 1988 M6), the motors in general were very solid. Electrics and accessories were more the problem area's.

I worked at starup where there were two E39 M5's, both owners said they're a handful in the snow/ice even with ABS/stability/traction and A/S tires. So be careful in winter weather.

Looks great in white.

 

I love performance sedans. The car looks great, good luck with it.

 

Well the guy is a BMW technician so fixing problems shouldn't bad as big of a deal.

 

the best looking M5 so far. love the e39. Good luck with it

 

sweeet ride!!! how much did you pick it up for if you don't mind?

 

congrats!

 

congrats dude! I have to admit, I thought it was a new 5-series thread..... who knew it was an E39 M5! Didn't find out until that other thread in ramblings. One of my faves, and a great, rare color. I always wanted one in white too.... nice pick up.

 

cleeeaaannn

 

IMHO, the E39 M5 was the best 5-series model ever produced. Unlike the E60 version (which I like but, not nearly as much), it truly is a driver's car!!!

 

Great looking car

 

Thanks everyone

Whats up Chirag. Haven't talked in awhile. We should meet up one of these days. I wanna check out that Benz.



Yeah. Its kind of ridiculous how much leather there is in the interior.

Thanks. Alpine white on Black is ridiculously hard to find on E39 M5s. I got real lucky in finding this car. Ben Liaw of Rogue Engineering just sold his AW 2001 M5 but he wanted way too much money. It did have a Black interior with factory Hurricane Alcantara inserts though which technically didn't exist.

15,500

 

great buy.....the car looks real clean for a 00'

 

nice car

 

yep yep, I will get in touch soon....working in DE for a few weeks than ill be home for a while...

 

Beautiful car
