Vehicle Description

Intro

This is a 2001 BMW M5 Touring built by the seller. He started with a 2001 525iT wagon shipped from Texas that was originally a California car bought new at Beverly Hills BMW with 176k miles and a 2003 e39 M5 donor car from Nevada with 80k miles. He then swapped the engine and all associated drivetrain parts including the gearbox, differential and axles, front and rear subframes, and full m5 interior from multiple m5 donor vehicles. (except for the back seat) brand new OEM front and rear M5 bumper covers. The motor, gearbox and differential were completely resealed and all removed parts from the M5 were refreshed or replaced with original BMW OEM parts before installation. The brakes were also carried over from the donor M5 with all new associated parts, including stainless steel brake lines and OEM rotors and pads. All the M5 components bolted into the 525iT chassis. The mechanical part of the build was done by Nick Trapp and Brian Marks who successfully built an e39 M5 wagon that sold at auction for $72k. The final electronics and stock tune were done by Chris Gerber’s shop, G3 Automotive Solutions in Raleigh, and Bob Bishop with Stage Fabrication in Youngsville, NC.

Exterior

The suspension modifications replaced the stock M5 struts with adjustable KW V1 coil overs with front and rear M5 sway bars retained, with all four fender wells rolled for more tire clearance to give the wagon a lower stance. This M5 wagon has the stock OEM header and catalytic converters from the donor m5 with dual resonators and electronically controlled cutout exhaust on one side and Magnaflow muffler on the driver side with quad exhaust tips. The Wagon rolls on a staggered set of Factory Style 65 M5 newly refinished by Prince wheels with new Michelin tires.
