Rare BMW 550I Factory M-Sport w/ 6-speed manual transmission! 2-owner car.

2008 BMW 5-Series 550I M-Sport 6-Speed Manual Transmission Description

I am selling my Very Rare 2008 BMW 550I 6-Speed Manual w/ Factory M-Sport Pkg and 385HP! It is Alpine White exterior with Tan leather interior and "Fine Wood" dash option. This is one of the most sought after color combos and gives the car a very clean look showing off the gorgeous designed bodylines. The car is in absolute superb mechanical and cosmetic condition. It is a 2-owner car that started off as a custom ordered lease after which the original owner decided to purchase it outright. From day one this car has been maintained and serviced at the BMW dealer. It comes with a FULL PEDIGREE including crucial docs as well as the original factory SPEC Build Sheet. It has had much preventative maintenance done including things which normally begin to wear down at this age/miles.
Aside from being Fully loaded, here are the highlights that makes mine different:
1) Factory M-Sport Pkg: Includes Sport Suspension & shocks, Sport wheels, 14-way adjustable Sport seats with active lumbar support system that move as you take curves at fast speed, Sport Brakes (red color w/ M logo), Sport steering wheel (w/ M logo), and Sport Body kit including: front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, and roof/trunk spoiler.
2) Factory Auto- Dynamic HID Xenon lights: These lights move and shift to illuminate curves and the road ahead.
3) Factory Dynamic M-Sport Suspension: This is a crucial option that has a hydraulic system that controls sway bars, anti-body roll, and suspension handling when you engage the car in fast driving in sport.
4) Factory Convenience Pkg: Auto folding mirrors, Automatically adjusts the seats & mirrors and driving settings to match the key.
5) Factory Premium Sound system.
6) Factory Navigation with Bluetooth and steering wheels controls for everything as well as CDplayer and AUX outlet. It also has voice activation.
7) Rare Heads-Up-Display (HUD) option which shows critical driving data on inside windshield while driver looks out at the road.
8) Factory Winter pkg: Includes heated seats, heated mirrors, and heated steering wheel.
9) Upgraded Silverline Performance Exhaust system which allows the car to breath better and lets the German V8 engine sound much more aggressive.
10) Replaced shocks/strut w/ factory OEM Sachs Sport Pkg shocks which came on the car. Also replaced the wear items such as bushings and steering system related rubber components.
11) It has complete brake job (including OEM sport rotors & carbon-ceramic pads & brake speed sensors). Rotors have 90% life left. Pads have 85% life left.
12) Clutch has been replaced and has over 90% life left. It firmly grabs and bites early and is very easy to use in traffic.
13) Tires have 90% tread life remaining. They are perfectly balanced and without fault or defect.
14) It has custom BMW floormats as well as another full set of WeatherTech mats in Tan color (cost $240).
15) It has had a full fluids service including: the crucial hydraulic sport suspension system, coolant flush, brake fluid flush. Always uses Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W30 oil, always 93 Octane gas from either Texaco or Chevron. Also has had a K&N air filter as well as both cabin air filters changed.
These are all things done for sake of maintaining the car to like-new driving specs. Don't be fooled by other cars which are still on the original shocks or brakes; what makes a BMW a superb car is the unique way in which it drives and handles. Being able to take a curve at 90+ MPH while gripping to the pavement and still being perfectly balanced with no effort is what makes my car better than the others. You get peace of mind knowing that these wear & tear items have been taken care of. Other cars have been abused and have hidden problems. Mine has NO faults, NO check engine lights, NO system fault codes, NO leaks, NO squeaks, NO rattles, NO problems whatsoever! I'd encourage any buyer to take me up on my offer and feel free to have an independent pre-purchase inspection done. I am that confident in the car.
I have priced this better & cheaper than any other 550I M-sport 6 speed manual out there for the miles and condition. This is not even taking into account the maintenance done which is always crucial on a car like this. It's come with all the books, CLEAN CARFAX, original Factory Build Sheet with all the specs, 3 key FOBS that are each programmable to suit different drivers who might be sharing the same car. You also get the factory OEM exhaust system as well as front OEM painted license plate bracket. Feel free to text, email, or call me for any questions or to make an offer. I'm willing to strike a good deal for a true fellow enthusiast who I know will take care of the car and cherish like it has been with its first 2 owners.

Feel free to contact me at 214-392-3666 should you want to ask questions about the car, want more pictures of the car, or want a video walk-around of the car including cold start ignition so you can listen to the Exhaust System.

ISSUES/CONCERNS: The car is genuinely in excellent and superb condition. However, for the sake of full disclosure and open honesty, I wished to say that the very lower trim of the front bumper/spoiler has a few road-rash marks. Because the car is White, it hides it very well, however a keen eye will be able to observe it when you get close to the car. It is not major or significant, however because I am advertising the car in such excellent shape, I felt it good to be candid. Aside from that, the car is excellent!

POST AUCTION TASKS: When the auction ends I will ask for $250 deposit. This will ensure that you are a serious buyer. I will be more than happy to allow you the time to take the car to get a Pre-Purchase-Inspection (at your cost and mechanic of your choice). If the car isn't 100% to your satisfaction then I will refund your $150 of thedeposit (theother portion used to cover ebayfees)though I am that confident the car will pass with flying colors. PAYMENT: I accept cash, cashiers check, and bank loan. Any none-cash payment will require sufficient time to clear bank and allow time for verification/validation. DELIVERY: Once everything is done you will have 3 options to take delivery of the car. 1) Fly into Dallas- I will give you time to allow you to book a cheapflight to Dallas. I'll pick you up in the car. After you become familiar with it, we will then have lunch, then conclude our deal and you can drive the car home (The car will easily make a 1,000 mile cross country trip with no sweat). 2) Pay for shipping- I will work and coordinate with your shipping company of choice. I will ensure that the car gets loaded onto the truck and I will extensively photograph the car for you so that if there was any potential damage to occur, you'd have proof that the shipper caused it. 3) I will deliver the car to you- I will rent a Uhaul trailer (you pay the cost approx. $130), safely load the car up and deliver it a maximum of 450 miles from Dallas,Tx @ a cost of $1.15/mile.....
