2001 BMW M5

Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1998, the E39-generation BMW M5 is a perfect blend of high-performance engineering and practical luxury. The M5 featured a formidable 4.9-liter V8 engine producing 394 bhp and 369 lb-ft of torque, paired with a precise six-speed manual transmission, ensuring an exhilarating driving experience while retaining the practicality of the 5 Series sedan it is based on. The M5 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under five seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. Without the limiter, this powerhouse is capable of achieving an astonishing 186 mph. Production of the E39 M5 began in late October 1998 and continued through 2003.

Now offered for sale, Blue Chip is proud to present this 2001 example, finished in distinguished Oxford Green Metallic over a Caramel leather interior. Delivered new to the United States, this example has been meticulously maintained and boasts just 25,119 original miles, making it an exceptional find for any collector or enthusiast.

Regarded by many as the quintessential M5, the E39 M5 is the perfect gentleman's hot rod—discreet yet thrilling to drive. From a casual glance, it appears as a standard 5 Series sedan, but behind the wheel, it transforms into an extraordinary driving machine that is just as practical as it is exhilarating.

This 2001 BMW M5 presents exceptionally well and comes complete with the original manufacturer’s literature, sales documents, tools, window sticker, detailed service records, two keys, a clean Carfax, and a clean Colorado title. The car has also recently undergone a single stage paint correction and has been wrapped in a full front Paint Protection Film, applied in April of 2024 by Blue Chip.
