This baby has been sitting outside for 2 years and now looking for a new home as I have no indoor space to keep her. Fast as hell (e39 M5's were no match) and needs some TLC. Approx 51k on the car and 20k on the motor. She was professionally built by Leo Franchi at Midwest Motorsports and JP at Fall Line. Always maintained with oil changes etc. Starts and runs fine. Needs new tires and rims polished from sitting outside. The gas gauge doesnt seem to work, but I think its a board LED failure. The window tint is not as black as it used to be after 20 years of use. If she was in 100% condition I would be asking alot more, but between no storage and the wife it is time to go. The car was insured for $97,000 and I have numerous valuations on it. It was a labor of love and I would prefer it to go to someone that will get her back to shape. I feel the engine and supercharger (13k from dinan as 5 series were rare) are worth the price. I am the second owner and this car has never been tracked or raced. I can not be responsible for shipping, but will assist to the best of my ability. The car will not be released until it has been 100% paid for and funds cleared. There is a 2002 M5 with Dinan software on eBay with with no Blower for $49,500 with 77k miles!! Below are over 100 Pictures at various stages of life. Some exterior items have changed. I am putting on current pictures ( she needs a bath but too cold in Chicago) to this auction as well as 2 videos. Paint and body are 99% (one scratch on LF quarter) The current front bumper is a OEM M5 (I removed the hamann due to quality). I dont know why eBay says the VIN is incorrect , picture attached. This car was built lovingly and I have a good amount of paperwork for it. It is a 20 year old car that has been highly customized, so it has its quirks. If you are local we can arrange a inspection with you and your mechanic. Before you ask why the tow hook is on there, When I brought it home from storage I had no current plates and didnt want to take a chance. I have received a ton of emails asking what needs to be done ASAP. Tires and fluid changes are what I can think of but read this entire auction very well. I also have been asked for a copy of a dyno.
