The car:
- 2002 M5
- 121k
- 100% RUST FREE
- Titanium/Silverstone professionally reupholstered custom Luxury interior ($4500)
- Almost every option; Navigation, Cold weather package, Luxury full stitched leather interior, power fold in mirrors, etc

I bought this car from a good friend and customer of mine who owned it for several years. He works for BMW so the car was serviced at the dealer and always maintained. I’ve owned the car for about six months during which I did all of the following EXCEPT the clutch which he did a few weeks before I bought it. Clutch has about 7k on it the rest of the parts have less then three. I don’t drive the car in the snow or rain and he didn’t either. I don’t need to sell it but storing a car over the winter living in NYC sucks so if I can I will. Not pressed to sell and all low ***** will be ignored. No joyrides – cash talks.
