Built from 1999 to 2003, the E39 BMW M5 was aimed to challenge the Jaguar XJR and Mercedes-Benz E55 in the premium sports sedan segment. Featuring a naturally aspirated 4.9-litre V-8 engine delivering 394 hp to the rear wheels through a Getrag six-speed manual gearbox, the M5 could sprint to 60 mph in about 4.8 seconds on the way to an electronically limited 155 mph top speed.

An updated and desirable “facelift” model, this 2002 BMW M5 is finished in Titanium Silver over a black leather interior with Rosewood trim. Features include a wide-screen navigation system, split-folding rear seats, M-Audio sound system, cold-weather package, and power rear sunshade with door blinds. Registering less than 22,000 miles on its odometer, this one-private-owner, European-delivery car presents in remarkable condition throughout. To prepare for its next owner, a “BMW 10-year service” was recently performed by marque experts Enthusiast Auto Group of Cincinnati, Ohio, including a complete fluid flush, replacing rear upper control arms, reconditioning the rearview mirror, the instrument cluster to correct pixelation, and mounting fresh Michelin Super Sport tires on refinished wheels. Furthermore, this M5 was treated to a laborious paint correction and was ceramic coated.

Complete with its books, tools, keys, M Mobility kit, European-delivery medical kit, and records, this low-mileage M5 is still the sports sedan by which all others are judged and will surely please its next enthusiast owner
