Bought it from the local Ford dealer. It was a one owner trade in car. An older gentleman DD'd the car from 2002-2013, then traded the M5 for a Lincoln MKZ..
It has BMW service records from 0-90k miles, and the local Euro INDY shop from 90-118k (mileage we bought the car at).
It is Carbon Black, on Black Nappa leather. It has the door shades, powered rear shade, PDC, M audio, heated seats, xenons, suede headliner the usual E39 M5 stuff..
It is bone stock, and it will probably stay that way.

It is in very fine shape. But it needs some TLC. Like the seat twist issue on the passenger side front, a new door shade, and two new fender liners..

Sorry for the bad pictures, I don't have any shots of the whole car..

Maybe I should look into this "silver metalizer", mainly because I'm always balln' out of control.

Hmmmm. Seats out, but what's going back in..?

Holy crap I first thought you made room for someone with super long legs. I didn't think the front seats went back that far. LOL

Got her ready for Nashville Cars and Coffee in the morning. Weather; sunny and high in the low 70s. First Saturday of the month so, there should be plenty of exotics.

Jordan,

if your dad wants to sell it (he shouldn't), then I want the shifter knob for the shorty sporty, I can stain it to look like Vavona. I'll buy him a replacement.

Great progress on the shorty, JP! The manifold really wakes the car up at the top end.

From a GS3, this was sent.

my brother is still on the fence about it but I think I have him convinced.

I think I've also convinced him to do the M3 SMG steering wheel mod so the car has paddle shifters! (It will basically look like Jordan's dad's car posted above but auto with shifter paddles and a darker red wood)
