Vehicle History & Overview

Per the included Carfax report this M5 was sold to its first, California-based owner in June 2003. Niello BMW of Elk Grove, California serviced the vehicle until 2007 when the second, California-based owner purchased it. The second owner kept the vehicle for more than 13 years before selling it to a Utah-based family member in 2021. The vehicle is on consignment through the selling dealer. Service records since 2009 totaling over $24,900 are included along with two main keys/remotes, two valet keys, owner’s manuals, and factory tool kit.

The E39-chassis BMW M5 was launched in late 1998 and first appeared on US shores for MY2000. The car was widely heralded for its fantastic, naturally aspirated 4.9L V8 engine, 6-speed manual transmission, and athletic rear-wheel-drive chassis. In stock form the 4.9L V8 engine developed 394 horsepower when new and belted out a glorious sound from its quad-tipped exhaust. Series production ended in 2003.

The name Dinan is synonymous with ultra-fast versions of BMWs. This example features Dinan's Stage 5 software tuning, carbon fiber high-flow intakes, larger mass air flow meter housings, throttle bodies/velocity stacks, a cat-back exhaust system with laser-etched quad tips, an aluminum strut tower brace, 18-inch alloy wheels, and Stage 5 software. The car reportedly develops an impressive 470 horsepower.
