Description
2000 MY BMW E39 M5
156, 800 miles
Service history and every receipt of spend in my two years of ownership. Will include the SLO plate with the sale.
This car is ULEZ compliant and is Euro 4. I’ve got certificate of conformity from BMW GmbH to confirm the emissions, which were sent to TFL. They confirmed compliance to ULEZ and low emissions zones. I’ve got the letter to confirm this also.
I've spent a huge amount of time and money on this car since I've owned it. Oil and filter changed once a year. Currently using Millers 10w60 ester race oil. It’s due this years oil and filter change and will be done shortly.
Whatever it's needed it's had. I wanted a car that I could use daily and do the odd road trip with. It drives really nicely and goes, steers around corners and stops superbly. I've taken it to Germany in the spring and it was flawless.
Please see below a breakdown of the work I've done.
Engine

Replaced a Vanos support solenoid in Bank 2

K & N filters - Cleaned in the Spring
Tubi Sport ( competition ) exhaust fitted. This is super rare in the UK and sounds ace. Not too loud but a really nice sound when pushing on.
155mph speed limiter removed
Cold start fast idle and secondary air injection mapped out/ disabled-stops the 1500-1800rpm idle speed when on cold start to safeguard the engine before the oil comes up to temp

Diff Seals changed - All seals

Bilstein B8 Dampers with Eibach springs
Wheels are in great condition (the powder coat has come off in a couple of places as can be seen but I've never kerbed them) shod in Pilot Sport 5 tyres earlier this year with loads of thread left.
Interior
Pollen filters changed yearly-charcoal activated ones in May
All dash pixels working in the instrument cluster
The DSP mid radio has a few pixels that have dropped but works fine
GROM Audio bluetooth installed in the boot for bluetooth audio - control tracks from your phone using the steering wheel controls or the Mid unit
Replacement OEM Illuminated gearknob and gaiter
Trick bitz centre console cup holder
Two tone leather in good condition - no rips or tears and still supple to the touch. I apply the Gliptone leather conditioner every year to keep fed and supple.
Usual electric heated seats, steering wheel adjust, mirrors etc
Fully working Air Con/ climate control - icy cold
Exterior
Car was repainted a few years ago before my time so the paint is pretty good
Replaced the lower spot lights with OEM units as they were ghastly blacked out ones.
Replacement pork chops (wheel liners and corner undertrays)
Car has Facelifted lights fitted with the LED Halo's
Replacement OEM Wind screen and rear screen rubbers
* Drivers rear sill will need a repair as it's rusting
* Drivers front wing is bubbling with rust. This will also need a repair.
Other than it's in pretty decent shape for a 25 year old car with the odd mark here and there commensurate with its age.
With the two points above I have priced the car accordingly to reflect the potential work that is needed.
Please get in touch if you wish to discuss aspects of the car. I will not entertain ridiculous offers for the car before someone has come to see it. Those messages will be ignored.
Also to note I’m not interested in a part exchange for your vehicle for the M5. I do appreciate the offers but I’ve got another car lined up ready for purchase.
I am located in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Thank you for looking. Fully stamped service book. BMW dealer history up to 87K miles and rest has been stamped by independent up to approx 150K miles. Last years oil and filter service was done by me but the receipts for the oils and filter in the service history.
