One of the most celebrated sports sedans of all time, the E39-generation BMW M5 is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission connected to a 4.9-liter S62 V8 engine featuring individual throttle bodies and double-VANOS variable valve timing. Finished in Black over matching leather upholstery, this 2003 example has been modified with an Area-51 Motorsports supercharger, Dinan suspension components, and a Remus muffler. Stored inside a climate-controlled facility, this meticulously maintained M5 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of New York with approximately 64k miles showing on the odometer and an additional set of BBS-manufactured 19" Dinan wheels.
Compared to the standard E39 5-Series, the M5 version presents more aggressive bumpers and side skirts, aerodynamic mirrors, a trunk lid spoiler, and Shadowline trim. Additional features include xenon headlights with washers, fog lights, and M5 designations along the trunk lid and side moldings. This example is finished in Black and rides on factory 18” M double-spoke wheels. An additional set of staggered-width 19” Dinan wheels manufactured by BBS will accompany the sale. The seller describes the exterior as being in near-excellent condition with only minor, hardly noticeable imperfections. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, the driver is greeted with Black leather upholstery complemented by Fine Wood Trim. Details include an M-branded gear shift lever, an M Sport multifunction leather-wrapped steering wheel, M-branded gauges, and M5-branded door sills. Amenities consist of power-adjustable and heated front seats with memory, automatic climate control, and an electric sunroof. Dinan-branded floor mats are also equipped. The seller highlights the suppleness of the leather and notes the door panels and interior surfaces remain in very good condition.
Featuring individual throttle bodies and double-VANOS variable valve timing, the 4.9-liter S62 V8 engine has been modified with an Area-51 Motorsports supercharger. The rear wheels are driven through a 6-speed manual transmission upgraded with a Stage 2 clutch setup. Additional upgrades include a Dinan front strut brace, Dinan lowering springs, Dinan high-performance Koni struts, a Dinan adjustable rear sway bar, and Remus mufflers.
This sale will include a clean title, a toolkit, a car cover, and a set of staggered-width 19” Dinan wheels manufactured by BBS.

@Wassergekuhlt Thank you.
Could you do a driving video inside the car, with everything up to temperature going thru all the gears? Thanks

@Carman2653 Hello. Answered below. Thank you for the question.
@zollerm Hello. Mathematically it’s supposed to make just under 600 Hp and just over 600 ft/lb of torque. It wasn’t built to brag or abuse so we never put it on a dyno. Pulls like mad though and it’ll break the rear loose on demand.
What is the total horsepower with the modification? It was 394 hp with the standard engine. Thanks.
