Our Take:
- Legendary Performance: The 2000 BMW M5, part of the revered E39 generation, is often celebrated as one of the best M5s ever made. Its 4.9-liter V8 engine, known as the S62, delivers a charismatic 394 horsepower—a thrill-seeker's dream, especially paired with the beloved manual transmission.
- Anthracite Elegance: This model's anthracite over black color combination provides a timeless look that combines old-school charm with a dash of modernity. It's a color scheme that tends to stand out at car meets, often sparking conversations on classic BMW design aesthetics.
- Meticulous Maintenance: The lengthy maintenance list—covering everything from clutch kits to Michelin tires—speaks volumes about the care invested in this vehicle. Upgrades like the E60 short shifter enhance the driving experience, while the Sony infotainment update hints at a modern twist. The recent work ensures it’s ready to hit the open road with confidence.
- Collector's Quirks: Like many cars of its age, this M5 has its quirks, such as the cracked rear bumper cover and dead pixels on the instrument cluster. However, these issues are common talking points among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the character they add to the vehicle's story.
