After a year of wonderful ownership, I've decided to part with my Black Sapphire Metallic BMW M5. This car is incredible, and the only reason I'm selling it is because I work from home and rarely drive the car. I don't use it for short local trips and it primarily gets its milage on days I drive to the office (100 mile trip), go to a car show, or when I take it out just to drive and enjoy the experience. I am very particular with all my cars and this one is meticulously maintained (with records) and is never driven until it has had a chance to warm up. I welcome any and all inquiries about the car, will consider all reasonable offers, and present the car for viewing and pre-purchase inspections. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a viewing/PPI. The car is located with me in central NJ, very convenient via most highways in the region. The car is a rare 6 speed manual example, with only a handful up for sale around the country. For those who've done their homework you already know that the manual transmission is the way to go on these cars for two reasons. 1) Where else will you find a manual transmission + a V10 engine in a 4 door sedan? 2) The SMG auto-manual transmissions are notorious for failure and costly repairs. When picking up a used M5 why bother yourself with the worry of a transmission that will need repair in a matter of time. The 6 speed manual on these is virtually bullet proof with many owners surpassing 100,000 miles on the original clutch. 2007 BMW M5Black Sapphire Metallic exterior/Black leather interior 46,350 Miles 5.0L V10, ~525HP & ~400TQ Purchased from second owner who purchased from BMW as certified pre-owned Three Owner, Clean Title, No Accident or Paint History at all (verified with paint meter by (2) independent auto body specialist) Current tires have plenty of life in them, easily another 5,000-8,000 miles All books, manuals and maintenance records & receipts Two Remotes and valet key Aftermarket Upgrades: BC Racing Coilovers - w/ height & dampening adjustmentRDSport Front & Rear Sway Bars Evolve Alpha-N tune - $1,300Custom Fabbed Muffler Delete Pipe - No drone, quite when cruising, exotic sounding when you get on itVivid Racing power pulley RPi Ram Air Scoops BMC Carbon Filter 20" Black MRR U06 Wheels w/ BMW center cap Turner Motorsports Spacers - F20mm, R12.5mmBMW factory short shifter Buyer also will get factory mufflers, springs, shocks, and sway bars.

Recent Services within last 6,000 miles:- Oil changes x 2- Full brake fluid flush- Transmission fluid change- M differential fluid change- Shifter bushings replaced- Wheel balancing- Wheel alignment The car has already had its spark plugs and brake pads replaced as well and does not need another penny until it hits 60,000 miles. However if you're compulsive like me you'll at least want to do an oil change sooner than that. Surprisingly maintenance on these cars is not as bad as people make it out to be. Purchase your OEM fluids from a reputable site like turnermotorsport.com and then any shop can do the work (I only use BMW specialty shops). The Good: I have taken care of this car as if I were keeping it forever, both cosmetically & mechanically I have performed every single service on time and in many cases ahead of schedule; the car needs absolutely nothing I have had zero mechanical/electrical/anything issues with the car. It is solid as a rock, exceptionally clean, and has just been detailed as well The upgrades I've performed have truly enhanced the feel of the car and have made it more responsive as well as nimble The Bad: Half-dime sized ding on hood; barely noticeable and can easily be repaired with out paintwork 2″ faint scratch on pass-side rear bumper, wax covers it up nicelyFaint stress paint mark on rear bumper near trunk, was there when I purchased the car and has not grown since Things I HAVE done with this car: Driven it on long road trips Stretched its legs on twisty mountain roads Commuted to and from work Tested it on a 1/4 strip (rolling start, no launch) Things I HAVE NOT done with this car: Crashed it Drifted it Taken it to a race track Done burnouts/donuts in it Abused it Dropped the clutch/launched itLet other drive itDriven it in the snow This car makes an excellent daily driver, weekend toy, collectable, or race car - or all of that in one. It gets attention enthusiast and non-enthusiast alike, without being overly flashy or pretentious. I prefer a buyer who can pick-up locally in NJ, but will allow for shipping anywhere in North America at the buyers expense. Payment is due in full by cash OR bank check within 7 days of purchase.
