Description
1999 E39 M5 in Anthracite Metallic Grey (397/ Moire-Grau) The colour is very rare & is 1 of 35 (Confirmed by BMW)
The car has £20k+ worth of receipts for mechanical work & parts. I like to purchase BMW’s in rare colours & get them as close as possible to show room condition. This car is no exception
I dropped the car off for 8 months to E39 specialist Daniel Harborow (BM Conversions LTD) to have all mechanical work carried out. Mot until July 2025.
I also have had all body work & paint done by Cross Auto Restorations. After the car had a 3 stage detail & was ceramic coated
I have tried to keep a stock look with the car. OEM + modifications
* Koni Yellow dampers + H&R Springs
* Haywood & Scott exhaust system
* Genuine F10 M5 Weighted Gear Knob
* OEM BMW M5 E60 short shift kit
* Michelin Pilot sport 4 tyres all around (Excellent Tread)
* Private Plate’M5’ valued at around £500-£700 comes with the car
* OEM BMW Double Glazed window all round
- Spacers all around (15mm/ 5mm)
The car has full service history & 25 service stamps over a 25 year period (including Run in service). The car drives & handles fantastic.
I have owned many cars over the years & this one comes with probably the most amount of history & paperwork I have ever had. Well over £20k worth of receipts & that is not including bodywork.
I have made a detailed list of the work carried out over the years but here is the main most important issues that have been addressed recently –
* OEM Genuine Timing Chain / Guides replaced (Most garages are charging £4k) & some parts are now N/ A
* OEM BMW oil separator hoses & vent pipes (Common issue)
