Regretfully it is time to sell my 2007 M5, my pride and joy and "one day dream car". The car is a DREAM to drive.
Overall the car is in good if not great shape. The car runs great and came from Texas. I've had it for about a year
now but we will soon be expanding the family and it won't fit everyone anymore.
In the last year the brakes have been redone (by my dealer, I didn't do it). I also replaced 1 of the 2 throttle
actuators. This is a known design flaw on these S85 V10s. I replaced the one with an OEM part and worked with a BMW
expert supplier to put upgraded gears in the other actuator in hopes of preventing the other from failing. They
have been installed for about 6 months or 6000 miles without any issues. I recently put a new thermostat in as
well. With exception to the OEM part known for failure, all parts replaced are OEM parts, nothing aftermarket.
Tires in the rear are new, fronts just don't seem to wear as fast. This car has been adult driven and isn't abused
in any way.
The biggest thing that sets this car apart (and why I bought it in the first place) is that it is NOT an SMG
transmission. This car is a true 6 speed manual making it an absolute joy to drive. The SMGs all have pump failures
that run $3000 every time it fails.
