Description

THIS… is a 2002 BMW M5, finished in black with a Caramel interior.

This BMW features a 6-speed manual transmission.
The attached Carfax vehicle history report shows no mileage discrepancies in this M5’s past.
According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes 18-inch Style 65 wheels, a limited-slip differential, a power sunroof, Nappa Heritage leather upholstery, and heated front seats.
Notable modifications reported by the seller include a Dinan Stage 2 suspension, a muffler delete, an aftermarket short-throw shifter, and a BlueBus Bluetooth retrofit kit.
Celebrated by many enthusiasts as the best of its breed, the E39-generation M5 made its American debut for the 2000 model year. It was the first BMW M model powered by a V8 engine, and it was exclusively offered with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission. Aluminum parts in the suspension system helped reduce unsprung weight. About 10,000 units were sold in America until 2003.
Power comes from a 4.9-liter V8, rated at 394 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
