Used Car of the Day: 2002 BMW M5 Dinan

by Tim Healey

Published: February 16th, 2024

Today we head to Florida for this Tampa-based 2002 BMW M5 Dinan.

It appears to have been well-maintained with a lot of Dinan bits, including exhaust, cold-air intake, and chip. There's also a short-throw shifter and upgraded sound system.

It's a stick with 140,000 miles on the clock.

There's not much to add here -- though the buzzword-heavy ad copy is worth a read, I think our seller might have a day job in automotive PR -- so click over and scroll through.

The ask is $24,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

This one is rather appealing, must be a trap.

Once again, Lazy Tin presents us with a Teutonic money pit. Do better, you somnolent sod.

MKizzy A price bump? Give it a couple of bad months + an unpredictable Musk mood swing and the M3 Performance could be selling at Altima prices.
ToolGuy I don't think it is fair that the other car companies have to compete with VW.
Wjtinfwb Seemed pointless to cannibalize your own products sales by offering a clearly inferior and older product toting the same name at a lower price point. Now many "Classic" buyers would have bought a current Generation RAM had that been all that was offered? It kind of made sense when GM did it for fleet only sales of outdated models like Malibu or Impala or even Ford while new model build grew to capacity. But they've sold these two side by side for at least 3 years now, which just seems counterproductive and costly.
Tassos Remember, the safest most affordable trip is the one you do not take. Also remember, if I am driving there is a good reason for it -- I do not need you clogging up the roads out of habit lol. Learn how to drive, people. This includes knowing when to stay home. 🤡
Spamvw Nice to know I've broken into the top 10.478000 yesterday, but it's digital odo so there will no pics when it goes to it's final resting place.As I've said before, since the computer brain reads in KM's it will stop at roughly 620k.I've been told that there are VW folks who can reset it. But I'm guessing rust will take the unibody by then.Sam'02 TDI Jetta Wagon (grey) (manual)
