2001 BMW M5 Description
It brings me great sadness, but the time has come to move on from the most enjoyable car I have ever owned. Up for sale in Orange County, CA is my pampered 2001 M5 with 109k miles. I am the third owner, the most recent previous owner was an enthusiast and well respected member of M5board.com He purchased the car in 2004 with 18k miles, and I purchased it from him in 2009 with 65k miles.This was my second M5, as I lost my first one to an idiot that ran a red light. This is an enthusiasts car with very tasteful mods and has been taken care of like one of my children. Always garage kept, oil changed religiously, and interior conditioned...it almost looks brand new. The back seats have never even been sat in. Below is a detailed list of mods and the most recent work done to the car to keep her healthy. All work in the most recent years has been completed by Bullet Performance in Costa Mesa, CA (A well respected body shop and Dinan dealer) Also, a short video and pictures. Thanks for looking!
*Full Disclosure - Nothing to hide* In 2015, I was in a very slight "fender bender". It was a less than 5mph collision from a red light where a car turned into my lane. Pictures are below, but the damage was just to the bumper. I took advantage of it being at the paint shop and had the entire front half of the car re-sprayed and blended by Spectrum Collision in Irvine, a shop very well respected by m5oard.com, in Orange County. The 109k miles or road rash is completely eliminated and the paint looks brand new. Hand washed and waxed ever since, there isn't even a spider web swirl in the paint. My headache is your gain!
