Outstanding BMW e39 M5 Lemans Blue - $16,000

https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/cto/d/bethesda-outstanding-bmw-e39-m5-lemans/7631216891.html

Selling a 2000 e39 M5 in outstanding condition. Lemans Blue with Lemans Blue and Black Sport Interior.

VIN: WBSDE9344YBZ95803 (February 29, 2000 production date)
No accidents or paintwork.
Miles: 215,700
Exterior Body: 9.5/10 (no dings or dents, only a few light scratches)
Paint: 9/10 (rock chips and minor clear coat fade on decklid)
Interior 9/10 (some wear on steering wheel, otherwise really nice)

I have had this M5 for four years, used it primarily on long road trips, and have done what I can to ensure the vehicle is in great mechanical condition.

The prior owner indicated he completed a number of bigger maintenance items, but did not provide receipts. Suspension is due for a refresh sooner than later.

Engine pulls strong and clutch engages as it should with no slipping and transmission shifts smoothly into every gear. No pixels are out in the cluster and the rear-view mirror was repaired by radar-mirror.

Oil (Castrol 10W-60) and filter changed on 5/24/23 prior to a 1080 mile trip. I would not hesitate to drive the car anywhere.

Clean and clear title in hand. Three remote keys. $16k or best reasonable offer. If you want a call back, leave your name and number. Cash or cashier's check only.

This looks like it would be a really cool project.

we've gotten close to 3k asking for non-running early m10 cars now. there's no way to sustain that.

[E30Kills]

This doesn’t seem like a horrible deal these days? I bet you could get them to bring the price down closer to 2k.

It is a roller but if someone has a spare engine and the frame is rust free it could be a cool little project.

Very cool. That was certainly an expensive project, superchargers and Getrag 420s are not cheap. With no intercooling those intake temps have to be pretty spicy, those centrifugal superchargers are no more efficient as compressors than a turbo.

Yep, here it is.

It's a 325is wearing M3 clothes w/ M20 engine. Ad is tagged as Automatic, but it's a manual. Makes no mention of the body mods... Is it worth $16k? At minimum, it's an appropriately-priced crack-free dash - with a car included for free.

I think it was short wheelbase only, so 740i, 730, 728, and at least one of the diesel options, but there were at least some MT E38s outside of the US.

'Factory' 5-speed E38? Didn't know that was an option.

I’m selling my 1990 325is This vehicles been in the family since brand new I’ve had it for the last seven years it was my uncles before that, Everything on this car works like brand new he AC the tires are brand new every service record is up-to-date I have service wreckers done from the early 90s from 91 all the way to now till 2022 this car is been nothing but amazing to me I only put a couple thousand miles in the last seven years between me and my uncle we ckept this car practically brand new drives better than people’s brand new cars I have the original window sticker I have the original paperwork from day one I have every service record from the last two decades everything has been serviced everything has been up-to-date this car drives amazing there’s possibly nothing wrong with this car only has 136,000 miles I still drive it from time to time I’m a big car enthusiast this car is always been garage kept since day one.

Goddamnit man, if this thing was auto I would have jumped on it (I’m not good at working the clutch on a manual, but most of the manual BMWs I’ve driven were 4 cylinders so maybe the lack of torque had something to do with it). This car is only 50 miles from me.
