Among the most highly acclaimed sports sedans ever made, the E39-generation BMW M5 features a naturally aspirated S62 V8 engine sending power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. This 2001 example is finished in Black over Black Nappa leather upholstery. Showing approximately 116k miles on the odometer, this M5 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Connecticut.
Compared to a standard E39 5-Series sedan, the M5 version comes with black Shadowline trim, unique bumpers and side skirts, aerodynamic mirrors, a trunk lid spoiler, and quad-tipped exhaust outlets. Finished in Black, this example equips xenon headlights, integrated front fog lamps, front and rear parking sensors, an electric sunroof, and factory 18” Style 65 wheels with Michelin tires from 2019. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a CARFAX report noting an accident in January 2022, severe damage in October 2022, and moderate damage in October 2023.
The cabin is appointed with Black Nappa leather upholstery complemented by a matching Alcantara headliner and burl walnut wood trim. Accessories include heated and power-adjustable front sport seats with driver position memory, a three-spoke M Sport multifunction steering wheel, automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows and mirrors, a central locking system, M5-branded floor mats and door sills, an M footrest, an M Audio system, a navigation system, and M-specific instrument gauges with a variable redline tachometer.
Rated at 394 HP and 369 lb.-ft of torque, this M5 is equipped with a 4.9-liter S62 V8 engine featuring double-VANOS variable valve timing, individual throttle bodies, hollow camshafts, and a quasi-dry-sump lubrication system. The engine has been fitted with aftermarket air intakes and the rear wheels are driven through a Getrag 420G 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The CARFAX report shows a total of 33 service history entries.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “This is a car I had growing up, bought with the intention to keep forever but I just moved to Hawaii. The car doesn’t get driven.”

This has a branded title?
Looks great. Possible you can post some undercarriage pics? Wondering about rust, since you're in the northeast. Also, can you describe more thoroughly the various accidents, and specifically what damage each resulted In? Thanks!
