Our Take:
- E39 Model Lineage: The 2003 BMW M5 is from the esteemed E39 generation, often hailed as one of the best BMWs ever produced. With its naturally aspirated 4.9-liter S62 V8 engine, capable of rocketing from 0-60 mph in just over 4 seconds, it's a blend of performance and luxury that's hard to find these days—especially with a manual transmission adding to the driving engagement.
- Color and Interior: This particular M5 sports the LeMans Blue Metallic paint, a color choice that enthusiasts deeply appreciate; it's like having a rare trading card in a world of basketball stickers. The Heritage Black leather interior complements the exterior, providing a classic yet sporty aura that harkens back to the golden era of early 2000s BMW design.
- Maintenance and Mileage: With 170,000 miles clocked, this car has been well-driven yet carefully maintained—service records since 2007 suggest a history of attentive upkeep. Key components like the power steering, clutch, and seals have been addressed, which adds peace of mind for potential buyers of this high-performance machine.
- Minor Modifications with Potential: A muffler delete might raise eyebrows among purists, but it gives the V8 a voice that's music to any car enthusiast's ears. The car does have some work needed, like fixing the thrust control arm bushings and the center console trim, yet these are minor hurdles that can be overcome—think of it as a treasure hunt, where the prize is a near-perfect driving experience.
