About this deal

Out on the road, this M5 behaved exactly as a well-built German performance car should - with no fuss, drama or show, but plenty of grunt when required. The car starts with ease and will happily handle repeated starts even when hot, and there was no untoward mechanical behaviour that we noted. You can drive away confident in the knowledge that a qualified BMW technician has fully prepared and inspected your car and repaired any faults with genuine BMW parts prior to collection. However: the car sits lower to the ground than other vehicles I've had, and it is a magnet for road pebbles and debris and my only regret is that I did not get a lower front and front-of-hood clear bra installed. But I think that's a good idea regardless of paint color. The wheels are from our forum sponsor and they are hyper silver. Great quality and to me they look just as good as the genuine ones! As for mechanical, well, I went a bit crazy with that too but it's still not done, more things to do to it

So I'm inclined to get the gear and do it myself (lot's of diy guides on youtube), or buy some powder to get then done with it... but my problem will be matching the color... The guy that bought it lives outside London. I am not up-to-date with the maintenance or the condition of the car but if anyone wants to know what I had done when I had it, that’s not a problem. I don’t have anything to do with the sale but if it does sell I hope it goes to a good home that plans on keeping it for along time But I have never seen a work done in orange, and I'm not sure about the guy's suggestion... and they have dozens of oranges! The first time that a V8 engine had ever made its way into a production ‘M’ car, the E39 M5 saw the introduction of the now-legendary 4.9-litre, naturally aspirated, 7,000rpm redline S62 engine, which was available exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox, something which seems unthinkable in today’s world of a dual-clutch transmissions and semi-automatic ‘boxes. Apply 2-3 coats of Base coat leaving 10-15 minutes between coats. Leave 60 minutes before applying 2K Show Clear..This is one of those "I bet you had no idea what you were asking" questions. BMW has offered, at one time or another, more variations of blue than any other color. I've always liked cars with colour combinations that are a bit different and when this car came up I didn't want to let it go but i have spent a lot of money to get it to look the way it does now.

At first, I was convinced I wanted mine in white--preferably MW. But, I haven't been able to shake this attraction I have for blue. In all the pics I have seen here on the forums, LMB just looks absolutely stunning. I want to own my M3 for a long time, so I'm worried about getting it in a color that I don't enjoy, on down the line. I asked the customer support of one big powder supplier in the usa (prismatic powders) if they already had matched to the BMW M performance caliper colors, and send pictures of them in all colors... they said they didn't, but gave me some suggestions - curiously, the suggestion for the yellow was exactly the color code which the above mentioned yellow calipers had been powder coated with, so the guy may have a good eye. Hi guys, thank you for indulging me if you will, and please forgive me if this topic has already been covered and/or beaten to death.The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting. Vincent Van Gogh

Color Charts This solvent Basecoat paint will dry to a matt finish. A clear gloss lacquer is required to complete the finish. All Aerosols come with a professional fan nozzle for easy application and great coverage. New release bearing ( this was causing the winning noise while engine was running. I thought it was the power steering pump but it was the release bearing, now fixed) What do others think of your color choice? Do you get compliments, etc.? (Shallow, I know, but hey, it matters to me--at least a little... ) Excludes Northern Ireland; these cars will be supplied with the remaining unexpired portion of the current MOT (MOT cover applies only where an MOT is required).

Included with the car is an impressive history folder, including an itemised spreadsheet of work carried out to the car whilst in the vendors ownership, the original Approved Used handbook, the V5 showing 4 former keepers, a spare key and a treasure trove of invoices.

I changed the oil for him after 500 miles of the rod bearing shells being changed by Darragh at EverythingM3's.

From Roadside Assistance to practical advice, you're covered in the UK and Continental Europe with BMW. We'll be right by your side when you need us, arranging car hire where necessary and redelivering your car direct to you. Should you encounter any issues when you're abroad with your BMW, our experienced team of multilingual staff are here to help. Full details of the cover are available from any of our BMW dealerships. 12-month MOT cover Having been used as both a daily driver and a weekend toy, we see no reason that this E39 couldn’t return to being a high-performance daily driver for the discerning driver or BMW enthusiast, should the next owner wish to do so. I get compliments on the color CONSTANTLY, from people of both genders, all age groups, and all levels of car enthusiasm. People have walked out of their way to come over to my car and tell me how much they like the color, sometimes even saying that they like this particular shade of blue as opposed to just liking blue cars -- and that includes BMW enthusiasts who can tell it apart from Interlagos (aka "blurple").I won't go into too much details as I might do a project thread as there's still things I'd like to do to it but for now I thought I'd share some pics with fellow car enthusiasts Now, my plan is to get them sandblasted, and then powdercoated (I appreciate the quality look and durability of those jobs). With the LMB exterior, what was your interior color(s) choice, and how do you feel about your decision now, if awhile down the line in your ownership? In the engine bay, the S62 engine presents very well, and there were no leaks or signs of any misting that we could see. The engine pulls well, and the redline adjusts as the car heats up as it should.
