At first, I was convinced I wanted mine in white--preferably MW. But, I haven't been able to shake this attraction I have for blue. In all the pics I have seen here on the forums, LMB just looks absolutely stunning. I want to own my M3 for a long time, so I'm worried about getting it in a color that I don't enjoy, on down the line. The first time that a V8 engine had ever made its way into a production ‘M’ car, the E39 M5 saw the introduction of the now-legendary 4.9-litre, naturally aspirated, 7,000rpm redline S62 engine, which was available exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox, something which seems unthinkable in today’s world of a dual-clutch transmissions and semi-automatic ‘boxes. This solvent Basecoat paint will dry to a matt finish. A clear gloss lacquer is required to complete the finish. All Aerosols come with a professional fan nozzle for easy application and great coverage. I asked the customer support of one big powder supplier in the usa (prismatic powders) if they already had matched to the BMW M performance caliper colors, and send pictures of them in all colors... they said they didn't, but gave me some suggestions - curiously, the suggestion for the yellow was exactly the color code which the above mentioned yellow calipers had been powder coated with, so the guy may have a good eye. New release bearing ( this was causing the winning noise while engine was running. I thought it was the power steering pump but it was the release bearing, now fixed)
Facing off against the competition in the form of the Audi RS6 and Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG, the E39 arguably triumphed both of these rivals, being lighter than the RS6 and more refined than M-B’s snarling E55. I’ve had a few people messaging me privately and asking me for the condition of this car and whether I have a say in selling it.

Please also note that localised paint repairs are common with collectable and classic cars and if they have been professionally carried out then they may be impossible to detect, even if we see the car in person. So, unless we state otherwise, please assume that any vehicle could have had remedial bodywork at some point in its life.
Included with the car is an impressive history folder, including an itemised spreadsheet of work carried out to the car whilst in the vendors ownership, the original Approved Used handbook, the V5 showing 4 former keepers, a spare key and a treasure trove of invoices. But I have never seen a work done in orange, and I'm not sure about the guy's suggestion... and they have dozens of oranges! With the LMB exterior, what was your interior color(s) choice, and how do you feel about your decision now, if awhile down the line in your ownership? Note that includes at least a few Mini colors. Let's agree to ignore Rolls Royce, which has something like 40,000+ color options and probably at least another five or six blues. :yikes:Hi guys, thank you for indulging me if you will, and please forgive me if this topic has already been covered and/or beaten to death.
Widely regarded as one of the best performance saloons to ever come out of Germany, the BMW E39 M5 is thought to be one of the most reliable M cars, and with good reason.
