This 2001 BMW M5 is powered by a 4.9-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission and is finished in Silverstone Metallic over Silverstone and black Nappa leather upholstery. Equipment includes 18″ Style 65 wheels, a limited-slip differential, a sunroof, xenon headlights, fog lights, heated power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and navigation. Work in preparation for the sale included servicing the VANOS system and replacing the timing chain and guides, valve cover gaskets, water pump, thermostat, power steering hoses, oil pan gasket, spark plugs, drive belts, engine mounts, transmission mount, differential mount, oxygen sensor, and differential seals.
The car is finished in Silverstone Metallic (425) with Shadowline trim and features aftermarket DjAuto xenon headlights with washers, fog lamps, rear parking sensors, a glass sunroof, a trunk lid spoiler, rain-sensing wipers, and quad exhaust outlets. A June 2024 entry on the Carfax report lists “minor damage” to the front of the car, which the seller attributes to the replacement of the front bumper cover. There is a ding in the right rear quarter panel, cracking on the door molding, and corrosion near the fuel filler cover.
Chrome Shadow 18″ Style 65 wheels are mounted with Continental ExtremeContact tires. The car features Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with All Season Traction and braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs measuring 13.6″ and 12.9″ front and rear, respectively. The front and rear ABS sensors, front lower control arms, front and rear struts, and sway bar links were replaced in 2023.
The cabin features Silverstone and black Nappa leather covering the heated power-adjustable front sport seats, door panel inserts, center console, and lower dashboard. Amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, an illuminated shift knob, cruise control, and navigation.
The multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts an M-branded 185-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a variable redline, along with gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 76k miles.
The 4.9-liter S62 V8 is equipped with individual throttle bodies and double-VANOS continuously variable valve timing. It was factory rated at 394 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 rpm. Work in preparation for the sale has included servicing the VANOS system and replacing the timing chain, timing chain tensioner, timing chain guides, valve cover gaskets, water pump, thermostat, power steering hoses, oil pan gasket, drive belts, drive belt tensioner, engine mounts, oxygen sensor, and spark plugs.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Getrag six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The transmission mount, differential mount, and differential seals were replaced in preparation for the sale.
