This 2001 BMW M5 was specified in Le Mans Blue Metallic over Caramel Nappa Heritage leather, and it was registered in Florida and Texas before it was acquired by the seller in 2015. A 2000 M5-specification 4.9-liter S62 V8 with ARP rod bolts and replacement rod bearings and timing chain guides was installed in 2026, and additional work following the seller’s purchase included paintwork and replacing the clutch, tires, and assorted timing, suspension, braking, cooling, fuel delivery, and shifter components. Equipment includes a six-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, 18″ Style 65 wheels, a sunroof, xenon headlights, fog lights, heated power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, aftermarket audio components, and a touchscreen Bluetooth stereo. This E39 M5 has 116k miles and is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, a seller-provided service summary, spare parts, a Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Le Mans Blue Metallic (381) with Shadowline trim and features xenon headlights with “angel eye” inserts and washers as well as fog lamps, a glass sunroof, a trunk lid spoiler, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and quad exhaust outlets. The Carfax report lists “minor damage” to the left-front and rear portions of the vehicle in a March 2016 entry. The seller notes that paintwork was performed under current ownership, and that aftermarket M5 front and rear bumper covers have been installed. A replacement windshield cowl, hood roundel, and trunk emblem were installed, and the sunroof motor was rebuilt in 2026, per the seller. There is a ding on the right side, and the Park Distance Control system is inoperative. Close-up photos of exterior imperfections and paint meter readings are viewable in the gallery below.
The 18″ M Parallel-spoke Style 65 wheels were mounted with staggered-width Kenda Vezda UHP tires, the front of which were installed in 2026, while the rear rubber was fitted in 2025. The car features Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with All Season Traction, and braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs measuring 13.6″ and 12.9″ front and rear, respectively. The ABS control module was repaired under current ownership, and the brake pads and rotors were replaced in 2025. A detailed summary provided by the seller lists additional brake, steering, and suspension work completed since 2015. Curb marks are noted on the right-rear wheel.
The cabin features Caramel Nappa Heritage leather covering the heated power-adjustable front sport seats, door panel inserts, center console, and lower dashboard. Bruyere Club wood trim accents the interior, and amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a magnetic phone mount clipped to the center vent, a retrofitted leather-trimmed shift knob, and an aftermarket touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. The seller notes that the front door speaker baffles were modified to house 6.5″ speakers, and two 10″ subwoofers in a removable trunk enclosure are powered by a Kenwood amplifier. Interior flaws include an inoperative AM/FM radio tuner and rear window defroster, a missing rear passenger door locking indicator nub, wear on the driver’s seat upholstery and driver’s door armrest, and discoloration on the front passenger footwell carpeting.
The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel fronts an M-branded 185-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a variable redline, along with gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 116k miles, approximately 35k of which were added under current ownership. Dead pixels are present on the instrument cluster display.
A replacement 4.9-liter S62 V8 sourced from a 2000 M5 with an estimated 148k miles was installed in March 2026 by Man Cave Motorsports in Dayton, Maryland. The seller tells us that the replacement engine was retrofitted with ARP rod bolts at approximately 145k miles, along with a replacement water pump, connecting rod bearings, and timing components. Work performed during the swap included servicing the VANOS solenoid boards, installing Dinan ignition coils, and replacing the camshaft position sensors, throttle body gaskets, brake booster vacuum hose, and the rear main seal. A replacement thermostat was installed, and the cooling system was flushed in 2025. The seller tells us that the engine consumes approximately one quart of oil every 1k miles.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Getrag six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. A replacement clutch kit and a used replacement flywheel were installed in 2015, along with a new driveshaft center support bearing, flex disc, and braided stainless-steel hydraulic clutch line. A replacement clutch slave cylinder was installed in 2016, and the shifter linkage was overhauled under current ownership with a replacement shift fork, pin, and bushings. The rear differential fluid was serviced in 2022.
A seller-provided summary in the gallery highlights work performed before the replacement S62 V8 was installed, along with maintenance completed under current ownership.
Four sets of floor mats and two shift knobs are included in the sale.
