Okay, the first auction did not work out. Here it is again with no reserve as is. Good Luck. I've had this car for about 3 years and is great to drive. Over all, the car cosmetically is in perfect condition. There are no dents or scratches on the exterior, and interior is in great shape, other than normal wear on the carpet and steering wheel. All power options work. The SRS light is on and cannot be reset due to a couple of sensors that need to be replaced. I know that the car has been in an accident prior to my ownership. The prior owner got into an accident on the right front of the vehicle. The light has been on since I've owned the vehicle. I bought the vehicle as is. I have taken it to the dealership to reset and they have told me 2 passenger side sensors have to be replaced before it can be reset. Now here's the reason I'm selling it. If you have been researching M5s or know anything about this notorious beast, you'll know that they have VANOS problems. I've already replaced left forward cam sensor and all VANOS silinoid seals with DR VANOS seals. I still get the cam sensor faults and misfire faults. I know this can be anything from cam sensors, MAS air sensors, or worse case senario, complete VANOS replacement. And it also needs an A/C compressor. The car runs great when engine light is reset, otherwise will run in limp mode when light comes on. I don't have the time or the money to keep messing with it, so my loss is your gain. I have the OEM M5 wheels that will be sold with the vehicle. Also, a Passport built in radar detector with front and rear laser sensors and flush mounted control in the cup holder will remain in the vehicle. I will not ship, pick in person only. A non-refundable $500 deposit via Paypal will need to be made within 24hrs of end of auction. Remaining amount need to be in the form of a money order or cashiers check within 5 days of end of auction. Do not bid if your finances are not already available. I will not hold! I hold the right to end auction early if reserve is not met. Reserve is set way below blue book. Please feel free to email for any question, or if your in the Little Rock area and would like to see the vehicle. On Sep-03-10 at 11:40:40 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention that it does have a brand new battery. Please do not bid without reading description and known problems. I am selling car as is with no express warranty.
