Oh, forgot to mention... What I REALLY like about this particular one (and there's @ 4 others I've found equally as clean and low miles) is the fact it is setup completely like I like/want if I went black! Wheels are perfect, performance parts, and that stereo has to be insane!
Perfect TXSTYLE ride.

Hey TX,
I must say your taste in fine cars is amazing and shopping for the deal is the best way to do it. Let someone take the initial hit and then enjoy it guilt free.
I will say get this one. The white is very very nice, but you already have a white BMW, so when you change series, change colors. The stereo alone is worth the purchase!

And who knows... Maybe after nearly 10 years of consecutive pearl, silver and white cars... it might be time for a change.

can't go wrong with either color choice..but this is one of a kind and it will make other M5 drivers envious if you drive by them and they hear that exhaust!!!![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Also, why is every car that someone wants to purchase on here have to be compared to the GTR?
Performance wise they are incredible but the looks and interior they don't compare to other luxury sports cars at all!

TX, if the M5 is modded to your liking, then it sounds like the right car for you. It's funny that we'll bargain shop for the vehicle but then spend big bucks on mods. Think of the savings you'll have buying this car, as undoubtedly you'd want to mod any other car you buy.
Looks like a winner to me.
Besides dude, you'll need to save up to pay me after betting on the Mavs...

No question.... This car is soooo damn tempting due to the "right mods" and tasteful effort and me not having to jack with it at all.... well maybe just a liiiiitle bit!

My friends thought I was crazy when I was shopping for a 2000 GS400 in Spectra Blue in 2002/2003. I finally found one with a grey interior (I didn't want tan) in Arizona and I snatched it up.
So it IS possible.
Seems like every M5 I see is black, so I would stay away from black.
I wish the M cars had exclusive colors - in black, white, or silver, they
look like every other 5-series I see... which could be a good thing, if
you're into stealth!

If the car is as good as the ads say it is, then it is quite a bargain. But, with even only 10K on it, the car may look good on the surface, but have been driven quite hard underneath (people generally don't drive M's like Grandpa or grandma).
And, for 65K, you can get a lot of nice brand-new cars that are substantially less risk....possibly a brand-new M3 (yes, a white one) though the new M3's I've seen are closer to 70K..

I'm not sure why it's going for that little given the low miles. ![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
How can it be so cheap?
As for black vs. white - since I don't like the body style (or interior) of the 5 or the M5 much I'd get black as it 'hides' it more.![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
No doubt a wicked hot ride there.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
As for cleaning a black one - keep $5K of the savings of getting this bargain and hire a kid to clean your car every other week.

Black and white are my two favorite colors for cars.
That being said, I don't think I'll ever own another black car. I swear I look at my car wrong and it gets some swirl marks. I love the color, but don't have the time or patience to keep it looking pristine.
I think the M5 looks awesome in white.
