Carbon Black 2001 BMW M5 E39 6-Speed Manual with S62 V8 — 62k Miles
About this vehicle
Carbon Black Metallic over Black and Imola Red Nappa leather. This 2001 E39 M5 doesn't need a lengthy pitch — but it does warrant a careful look. The naturally aspirated 4.9L S62 V8 under the hood is factory-rated at 394 HP and 369 lb-ft of torque, built around double-VANOS variable valve timing, individual throttle bodies, hollow camshafts, and a quasi-dry-sump lubrication system. The NHTSA VIN decode confirms a genuine 8-cylinder sedan. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a Getrag 420G 6-speed manual paired with a limited-slip differential.
You can spot this isn't a standard E39 5 Series the moment you walk up: black Shadowline trim, M-specific bumpers and side skirts, aerodynamic mirrors, a trunk-lid spoiler, and quad exhaust outlets all signal what's beneath. Xenon headlights, integrated front fog lamps, front and rear parking sensors, and an electric sunroof fill out the spec. It rides on factory 18" Style 65 wheels — Toyo tires all around, 275/35R18 up front and 245/40R18 at the rear, dated 2014 with roughly 50% tread left.
Paint condition gets an honest accounting here. Scattered chips are present, there's a small trunk scratch addressed with a dealer touch-up kit, and a previous owner had the hood and roof repainted. A portion of the driver's-side quarter panel also registers paint per meter readings. CARFAX documents minor damage from June 2016. The detailed gallery images let you draw your own conclusions.
Inside, an Alcantara headliner and burl walnut wood trim frame the Black and Imola Red Nappa leather cabin. Heated, power-adjustable front sport seats are fitted with driver-position memory. The three-spoke M Sport multifunction steering wheel is here, along with automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows and mirrors, central locking, M-branded floor mats and door sills, an M footrest, M-specific gauges with a variable redline tachometer, a navigation system, and a BMW six-disc CD changer paired with the M Audio system.
Modifications are few and purposeful. Aftermarket air intakes, a muffler delete, a StopTech front big-brake kit, and Euro-spec floating rear brake rotors. The seller confirms all gauges and electronics function properly; CARFAX shows 32 service-history entries. Odometer reads approximately 62k miles.
Sale includes a clean title and three keys. Located in Christiansburg, VA.
