• VIN WBSDE9340YBZ95264
• Completed January of 2000
• California car
Three (3) owners, in beautiful condition, finished in Titanium
Silver Metallic (354) over Silverstone (black and gray) extended
leather upholstery. Options include a limited-slip differential,
glass sunroof, xenon headlights, quad exhaust outlets, heated and
power-adjustable front sport seats, dual-zone automatic climate
control, fog lights, and a trunk lip spoiler.
The paintwork is in pristine condition with original glass and
exterior trim. The cabin is trimmed in black leather with gray
inserts and an Alcantara headliner. Brushed aluminum trim accents
the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Additional
equipment includes an onboard computer, dual-zone automatic climate
control, a power rear-window sunshade, navigation, and a remote
six-disc CD changer. Due to the excellent care, and the dry
California climate the undercarriage remains in perfect original
condition with no signs of rust.
The E39 M5 is powered by the BMW S62 V8 4.9L engine, which
generates a power output of 394 hp at 6,600 rpm and 369 lb�ft of
torque at 3,800 rpm. The S62 engine has electronically actuated
individual throttle bodies, an aluminum block and heads, variable
valve timing (double-VANOS), and a semi-dry-sump oil system. The
official performance figures are 0 - 60 mph acceleration time of
4.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. In
testing, an unrestricted M5 reached a top speed in excess of 186
mph. The E39 M5 recorded a N�rburgring lap time of 8:20. Power is
sent to the rear wheels through a Getrag 420G six-speed manual
transmission and a limited-slip differential with 25% maximum
locking. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs, and the
car is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Servotronic
power steering, and Dynamic Brake Control (DBC).
On June 4, 2020, at 54,526 miles, IKONIC Auto Garage in Los
Angeles, California was commissioned to perform the following:
replace both engine mounts, replace both transmission mounts,
replace differential mounts, replace front lower front control
arms, replace the front lower rear control arms; this totaled over
$4,500. Most recently, on March 23, 2022, at 58,667 miles, Bullet
Performance in Costa Mesa, California was commissioned to perform
the following: replace the fuel pump relay, fuel level sensor,
replace engine oil, replace the oil filter, and check all
fluids.
Complete with owner's manual, dealer supplements, spare tire, tool
kit, and a clean Carfax. A rare opportunity to acquire a
well-preserved, dry California M5 that is exceptionally straight
and in excellent condition.
History
The E39 M5 arrived in 1999 for the 2000 model year, marking the
first V-8 engine to be used in an M production car. And what an
engine it is. The 4.9-liter naturally aspirated V-8-internally
referred to as the S62-makes 394 hp at 6600 rpm and 369 lb-ft of
torque at 3800 rpm. It is a righteous screamer of an engine right
up to its 7000-rpm redline, and it could haul the stately German
sled from 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds. With its variable valve
timing for both the intake and exhaust cams, as well as individual
throttle bodies for its octet of cylinders, this is among the
finest engines ever to leave Munich's hallowed halls. But the M5
isn't just all ate up with motor. The only transmission available
was a six-speed manual-a beefed-up version of the unit found in the
BMW 540i. Even today the chassis feels stout and athletic, despite
a touch of body roll. The interior is handsome, purposeful, and
assembled with high-quality leather, wood, and plastic. The seats
hug your love handles with firm, reassuring support. In 2000, Car
and Driver called it "the most desirable sedan in the world."
