M5, Wax On & Photo Shoot

[bobbyjoe77]

Good evening all,

After a fun session resizing these I can now make my post! I will soon have to part with my Beast and in preparation I gave the car a wax and did a bit of a photo shoot of it. I thought I'd share some of the results here...

Enjoy

Thanks guys, and SoupAnxiety I bought it when I was 24 and it's never cost me more than £600 to insure (clean licence admittedly!).... Just saying! She will need a good home again soon!

That is a beautiful spec, can you PM me when you do need to sell?

Thank you, it's been a pleasure owning her! I will be looking to sell before Christmas, let me know if are interested...

Gotta love a clean E39 M5

Carbon Black on Individual Champagne Leather I believe.

Awesome !

Thats's the one! Slightly different to the normal M5 colours but boy does it look good and get positive attention. The Individual colours make these cars visually for me.

M cars do look gorgeous when they've just been fettled!

What a beauty, miss my E46 M3 so much... I just know I'm going to regret parting with the E39 too.....!

Very nice. The e39 M5 are such good looking cars when in good nick. What are you looking to replace it with?

I have it as a second car and it just doesn't see enough use due to me being really busy with work these days. I run an M235i daily which is great but hasn't got the edge a full fat M Car has in its drivetrain and responses. Decided to sell both and try an M4.... Fingers crossed it has the trills of the M5 with the everyday usability of the M235i. Or at least thats the plan!

What an absolute beauty, why on earth would you want to sell it?!

The OCD in me would renew the coolant expansion tank, the yellowed plastic doesn't do the engine bay justice.

Congratulations on looking after it so well, I hope it goes to a good home.

Thank you kind Sir! As said above I need full fat M Car thrills everyday and this car is too nice to run to the moon and back, I think it would be best suited to a second car these days.

I plan to do the expansion tank, bugs me too. It's a job for the next service for sure!

And whoever the next owner is must know it's sold with a buy back option should I win the lottery haha!

It looks fantastic! Brings back very fond memories of my carbon black M5, which IMHO is THE colour for the E39. And the photos testify to the claim that the E39 M5 is the most cohesive design that just looks right. Perfect!

Thanks Rassi, it's an awesome colour, changes so much in the sunlight or under artificial lights to a deep metallic blue. I don't think there is a better colour either. Let's not talk about keeping Carbon Black looking good though... Haha

Is this car currently for sale?

and I agree - black and champagne works well on M5s.

Yeah, it's a striking combo... I do need to sell it unfortunately. PM me if you are genuinely interested. Thanks.

Thank you for all of the nice words people. Now available for inspection via the classified section....
