Would You Buy An E39-Gen BMW M5 With 134K Miles On The Odo?

The latest-generation BMW M5 complete with over 600 hp is a very special thing, but in reality, you can hardly ever use that much power on the street. That’s where an older generation M5 like this E39 comes into its own.

Rather than using an almighty V8 with two turbochargers, the E39 M5 is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.9-liter S62 V8 that delivered 394 hp and 368 lb-ft (499 Nm) of torque. Those are perhaps the perfect figures for a vehicle of this sort and adding to the desirability of the car is the fact that it has a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.

This particular 2003 M5 is currently available through Bring A Trailer and has 134,000 miles (~215,000 km) on the clock. That’s a lot and maintaining the car could be quite expensive. However, if you have a good relationship with a local mechanic that can help you out or better yet, have some repair skills of your own, maintaining an M5 like this doesn’t have to break the bank.

The listing reveals the car was first registered in Illinois and acquired by the selling dealer in March 2020 having previously spent time in Texas, Arkansas, and Utah. It is being sold without a reserve, with a Carfax report and with a clean Georgia title.

Inside, things look to have been well maintained. Sure, the black leather seats have some cracks in them but that is to be expected. Among the nice touches include an Alcantara headliner, power-adjustable and heated front seats with a memory function, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a navigation system.

ABT Selling Used Skoda Kodiaq RS For BMW X2 M35i Money

If you’re in the market for a used Skoda Kodiaq RS, ABT Sportsline have a rather special one they’d like to sell you.

It is a 2019 model with 11,500 km (7,145 miles) on its 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine, and it costs 56,890 euros ($64,000). If that seems a bit steep for a Skoda crossover, rest assured that the German tuner also fiddled with the engine software, resulting in an extra 30 HP and 30 lb-ft (40 Nm) of torque.

The total is now 266 HP (270 PS) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque, for a zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 6.8 seconds. Top speed meanwhile remains limited to 136 mph (220 km/h).

The Czech SUV also comes with the tuner’s lowering springs, matte black 20-inch wheels and what appears to be a stock interior, although it still stands out compared to a regular Kodiaq’s cabin. Here, you have a sporty flat bottom steering wheel, sports seats with red contrast stitching, plus Alcantara and carbon fiber trim.

So is this modded Kodiaq RS worth its asking price? It’s actually just 0.2 seconds quicker than before, despite its software upgrade, and if you don’t necessarily care about practicality, you can easily buy a faster crossover for this much money, such as the BMW X2 M35i, which has more power and is a full 2 seconds quicker to 62 mph.

We can also find you a diesel alternative within the VW Group – such as the 2020 Audi Q5 50 TDI quattro, which costs about the same in Europe, yet also has more power and is faster off the mark.

Looking For A Blue Unicorn? Here’s A 1996 Audi S6 Plus, The One With The V8

Back in 1997, Audi retired the C4 generation of the A6, after only four years of production, but not before releasing the hottest model of the series, the S6 Plus.

Made in the final two years of production, 952 units saw the light of day, including 855 Avants (estate) and 97 sedans. The limited production number made it a true automotive unicorn, especially in the four-door body style, but this wasn’t the only highlight.

In fact, you had to pop the hood in order to see the icing on the cake, the 4.2-liter DOHC V8, with 32 valves, which replaced the 2.2-liter five-pot powering the standard S6. The engine produced 322 HP (326 PS / 240 kW), 95 HP (96 PS / 71 kW) more than the smaller lump, for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) of 5.6 seconds (5.7 seconds for the Avant).

Other highlights included the upgraded six-speed manual transmission, re-tuned suspension and bigger brakes, joined by the leather and Alcantara upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats with memory, electric sunroof and integrated phone.

This 24-year old S6 Plus was apparently gifted to Spanish newspaper El Mundo, in return for advertising space, and was used by the former CEO, before being sold to the Marquees of Antella. In the possession of its new owner, the car was repainted in Nogaro Blue, the original color, and the engine was rebuilt.

You already know where this is going, so we’ll cut to the chase by telling you that RMSothebys estimates that it will fetch between €40,000 and €60,000 ($43,853-$65,779). It will be offered without reserve at an online auction that kicks off on June 3 at 1:00 p.m. CET (7:00 a.m. EST) in Essen, Germany.

This 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S Has The Same Radium Green Paint As The 356

A sweet looking, but not factory-painted, 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S is searching for a new home with a $78,900 price tag and just 4,900 miles (7,885 km) on the clock.

While a 911 Carrera S may not seem all that special in the world of track-focused Porsche GT models as well as supercar-destroyers like the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S, this one stands out thanks to its paint scheme. Adorning the exterior of the car is a shade of Radium Green that was offered by Porsche on early 356 models back in the 1950s.

Radium Green is not a color that Porsche itself offers through its extensive Paint to Sample program, meaning the previous owner of this car had it painted by a 3rd party. Marshall Goldman, the dealership selling the car, says the “quality of the paint is superb and smoother than factory.” Not only does it give the sports car a retro vibe but it makes it look unlike any other on earth.

In addition to the paint, the car rides on a set of 20-inch Sport Techno wheels and comes equipped with a sports exhaust system. In addition, it includes various factory options such as the light design package, front and rear park assist, Sport Chrono package, an electric sunroof, Burmester premium audio system with satellite radio, and a 6-disc CD changer. Contrasting the paint are red brake calipers.

The interior finish is just as intriguing as the outside with most parts, including the seats, bathed in Espresso brown leather. While we’re not convinced the brown leather goes all that well with the Radium Green paint, it certainly adds to the exclusivity of the 911.
