My wife and I flew out to Denver to pick up and drive this beauty home to San Diego the fall of 2016. I found this M5 after a lengthy search. The previous owner had the car about 8 years and he bought it CPO from the BMW dealer in Denver. As you can see from the records he was extremely diligent with dealer visits for every little thing. When we arrived to Denver I was pleasantly surprised how perfect the car looked. This car was never driven in the winter and it showed. It was a memorable road trip from Denver to San Diego. I was a little surprised how much attention the hotel Valets gave it in Denver and Vegas. I figured the younger generation wouldn\u2019t appreciate what it was but the did and gave complements on how the couldn\u2019t believe the condition. \nUpon arrival home with the car and at about 70k miles I put new Michelin Super Sports on. Shortly after it took it to a local respected independent shop and told them do everything preventative and needed as they see fit with open check book. Also installed the updated lights front and rear. About twelve months later I went back and told them to change every fluid, do a tune with plugs. And replace belts and hoses, not to mention a new clutch. Total investment about $10k for the two services. Please see attached. \nJust prior to listing I took it to the local BMW dealer for full inspection and oil change. See attached. Also replaced some rubber mounts for oil filter. I\u2019ve done everything it needs. My plan was to keep it indefinitely. I won\u2019t be out of the E39 market just a short break. Ive taken great care of her.
