FS: 2001 E39 M5, Jet Black

[grime015]

The time has come for me to sell Gretchen, my 2001 Jet Black M5. She has 75k well loved miles and has always been properly and rigorously maintained. She has spent her entire life in central North Carolina, until this past summer when I moved to Alabama. She has always been garaged, never seen snow/salt/sand, no accidents, no track days, always hand washed with the finest cleaning and protective agents money can buy, and only drinks Shell 93 octane. She is guilty of making me a BMW enthusiast and still puts a smile on my face every day. So, without further adieu:

2001 Jet Black M5
75,000 miles
5 liter DOHC Dual VANOS 32-valve V8- 400hp
6 speed manual transmission
Two-Tone Imolla Red & Black Leather
Electric Rear Sunshade and Retractable Side Window Shades
M Audio with 6 disk CD Changer
Park Distance Control
Fold Down Rear Seats w/Ski Bag
Alcantara Headliner
Wide Screen Navigation

Tasteful Updates:

275/35/18 Dunlop Direzza Star Spec
Pre-wired for Valentine 1
Lojack
Muffler Delete + Custom Exhaust Tips (sounds like an M5 not a 528i, no drone or excessive cabin noise)

E46 330i ZHP Weighted Shift Knob
AngeliBright v3.0 Angel Eye Upgrade

Watching all the lucky BMW’s that get to attend the BMWCCA driving school at VIR with her best friend (1988 E28 M5). No track time for Gretchen!:




I have receipts for all parts and services(nice thick folder), a Carfax (clean), and additional higher resolution pictures available on request. I also have all the original parts that have been upgraded and will include them in the sale. The best way to get in touch with me or ask me a question is via email, as I have this posted on many different boards and will not be able to know if you simply post below. BSGrimes@gmail.com

What part of Alabama are you in?

[grime015]

I am in Tuscaloosa. What kind of E46 330i do you have? I am on the hunt for a good ZHP 6-spd.

[Simmadown115]

MY ABSOLUTE DREAM CAR wish I had more money to buy it know. Can I get pics of it since it's so hard to find one around here with the same combo ext./int.?

2001 5sp/Sports Package

[grime015]

It also has the beefy Beast Power rear swaybar brackets, which are a common fail point of the e39 M5.

[MIMI1]

I dont have an E46 zhp but I have something more unique. Click my FS thread.

This would be the perfect step up from the E34.

taking some exterior shots tonight. should be fun.

[IamCatman]

DAMN ...I wish that car had a black interior with extended leather and wood trim. Plus I'm almost local.

Extended leather = cracked nasty dash

Wood trim = 528i

Black interior = boring

[wyowolf]

that is a VERY nice looking M5...

[grime015]

Ugh, the more I look at these pictures the more it makes me sick. The car had not been detailed and I thought I could slide by with just a wash. I am moving to Dallas next week and have been entirely too busy to detail the exterior properly. I promise you all, once I get to Dallas, I will get the car show ready and do another shoot. If I am going to sell my baby I definitely need to have some good pictures to remember her by.

In case you guys were curious which BMW I am in search of next....enter the E85 Z4 M Coupe!

...and that red/black basic interior with CF should be in a Civic. It is just too 'boi racer' for me ....OTOH ...I'm an 'old fart'.
