PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE LISTING AND VIEW ALL PHOTOS BEFORE BIDDING.Higher Quality pictures can be found here:2001 IMOLA FOR SALE Up for sale is my Imola Red 2001 M5, a benchmark example of BMW’s infamous super sedan. I purchased the car to serve as my daily driver to help keep the miles off my 2000 M5, a garage queen of sorts and a car which I have owned for a few years. However, the idea that I’ve bought myself another “toy” isn’t sitting well with the wife, so in an effort to maintain a happy home, the ’01 has to go. In the short time that I’ve owned it, I’ve managed to perform any and all maintenance, both necessary and preventive, that the vehicle needed. Below is the comprehensive service history on the car, listing all maintenance items completed in chronological order, beginning when vehicle was purchased new until current. Everything you see listed is documented w/ dealer records and/or receipts (hard copies will come with the car).

In my opinion, this car is mechanically sound. She pulls hard and corners solid. There are NO codes and NO problems to speak of. Everything works as it should. Overall, the car’s condition is well above average. Many parts that are known to fail on these M5’s have already been replaced on this car. The work is done for you. Inside, the Black Nappa Heritage full leather interior has the typical minor bolster wear on the driver’s seat, armrest and steering wheel, outside of that it shows very well for a 10-year old car. The instrument cluster shows the common dead pixel issue, the cluster can be replaced and in some cases BMW of North America will compensate half of the part cost as it is a known defect with these cars. Outside the car, the relatively rare Imola Red paint shows expected rock chips on the front fascia/hood, etc. The body is straight and true with a NO-accidents record. The wheels show the typical, yet light curbing and finish inconsistencies (normal with the OEM Chrome Shadow wheels). Nothing I can see that is beyond that of a daily driver. The records and pictures I’ve provided, I hope, give you an honest idea of how this M5 was cared for, and what you can expect as a buyer. As these E39 M5’s are getting on in their age (and mileage), finding a well sorted example with over 100K miles is becoming almost impossible to achieve. This girl is the exception to the rule. All she needs is a good home! If you have ANY questions concerning the car or would like to view it in person, you can contact me at (216) 535-9510 and we’ll go from there. Shipping will be the sole responsibility of the buyer, however I will assist in any way I can. You can even fly to Pittsburg and drive this car home if you so desire. ***A $500 nonrefundable deposit will be due at auction end via PayPal with the remaining balance due within 7 days of auction end payable in CASH or BANK CERTIFIED CASHIERS CHECK.
