Doug's Take The E39 BMW M5 is a performance sedan icon, boasting gorgeous styling, a lovely V8, and a 6-speed manual transmission — and this one has a lot going for it. It's finished in handsome Carbon Black with a two-tone Sport interior, and it touts some desirable factory equipment, including the M Audio sound system, split-fold rear seats, sunshades, and more — plus, it's a facelifted model, meaning it received a number of great updates including the famous halo headlights. This M5 also only has a handful of relatively minor modifications, which adds some peace of mind – and the seller is offering it with no reserve, which should make for a thrilling auction close.
