LOWERED RESERVECar was sold and the buyer had a tragedy in the family and could not complete the transaction. Auction is relisted! Car is in Pittsburgh, PA! For your consideration, an E39 2001 BMW M5. Title in hand! Two owner car! Original owner was a prominent business man who had the car meticulously maintained. Purchased the car 2yrs ago from Chicago. List of what I did:-Borla Cat-back exhaust-Wrapped Interior Trim-Re-wrapped Steering wheel (Leather and Alcantera)-Both MAF sensors-Vanos Solenoids tested and repaired-Door lock solenoid-Pixels repaired on instrument cluster-Fuel Pump and Filter This car is a BMW icon. In many opinions, the E39 M5 was the best M5 built to date! Perfect combination of style and performance. The 4l V8 produces 400hp, and takes this car from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. You will not be unsatisfied with this cars performance, I assure you! Car notes:The e39 M5 like e46 M3's have noisy vanos units. This noisy is what the describe as "diesel rattle!" I can provide more information if needed. See link from Dr Vanos below.These units are also well known for the annoying rattling or diesel sound heard at idle and low RPM's. It needs mentioning that the rattling noise is not related to the failing seals or solenoids, and is a separate issue of it's own. It will not harm the engine and is not an indication of the health of the vanos, but is simply an engineering oversight that can be easily fixed with some minor internal modifications. The common M5 'diesel rattle' can be attributed to the splined gears that fit at the back of the vanos, connecting the vanos to the cam gears. Each splined gear has a bearing assembly inside which allows it to spin freely with the camshaft. These bearing assemblies are designed with a very loose tolerance from the manufacturer, causing them to rattle or resonate at certain RPM's. At DrVanos we slightly modify these bearings to bring the tolerances much closer together for a tighter fit. By reducing the tolerances in the bearing assembly, the gears no longer resonate and the diesel rattling is reduced considerably. This is a permanent modification that will last the life of the car.There is an oil pan leak(small). Either lower pan or oil sending solenoidsThere is one dent that needs to be removedFender liner was previously scraped on the front lower valence. Car is located in Economy Borough PA, a northern Pittsburgh, PA suburb. LOWERED RESERVE!
