I live in California and made my BMW M3 purchase from the Enthusiast Auto Group over the Internet. As you can imagine, buying a vehicle online can be a daunting experience, however Evan, of EGA, assisted me through the entire process. The purchase went very smooth and I am expecting delivery here shortly.
I would HIGHLY recommend EAG for your next BMW purchase – they know what they are talking about, are willing to go the extra mile to help, and I feel they will be a partner for life, even after I have already owned my vehicle and should I have any questions/concerns in the future.
I would give them a higher rating that 5-stars, if I could!

future classic

The E39 M5 is used as a yardstick for modern sedans yet the car has been out of production for 11 years. Good reasons: It has a high quality roomy interior (although rather plain) combined with a smallish exterior size, very powerful but economical engine (mine does 24 highway @ 65 mph, 21.5 mpg overall for the last 18,000 miles), solid body, famous handling. The negatives: Regular mechanical upkeep is required and can be expensive. Clutch wears quickly if abused (mine has 50,000 miles and is still okay). Gearshift is notchy. Audio/Nav units are crude by current standards. In summary, an extremely fast, solid, comfortable, fun to drive family sedan that will be fondly remembered 20 years from now.
I had a very serious inquiry and it was answered very quickly which aided in my buying experience.

M5 is the BEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED!

This car is the beat well rounded car ever. The fastest production car when it came to the market. You can seat 4 people with lots of room. And the car really moves for being 4k pounds. Push in the sport button and it's like it picks up 60 more HP and grips the road great. They only brought 10,000 cars from this third GEN M5 (with the s62 motor, which is a modified 4.4L from the 540 bored out to make 4.94L engine) I get so many looks and people love seeing my car. There will not be too many of these original left after another 3-5 years and with 394HP and 367lbs torque for the price. FYI though, find a mechanic who can work on your car because the cost of bring this thing into BMW shop is expensive so have someone lined up before you go out and just trust everything those scammers say. Lots of things to look for when buging one of these so be careful.
I have been dealing with Eric and the folks at EAG for around 10 years and 5 cars. They seem to be able to locate the finest examples of M cars, acquire them and meticulously go through them both mechanically and cosmetically before listing them for sale. Can’t say enough good things about the service and parts departments. They go above and beyond to provide great service and make sure the customer is satisfied.
EAG is not a stuffy dealership. The staff is friendly, it’s casual and they seem to enjoy their work. What’s not to like? They’re surrounded by fantastic cars and have great ownership and management.

great but pricy

great car for performance car enthusiast or a couple times a week ride.I bought mine used,and performance,handling were amazing! acceleration mind blowing. but withing a year and a half needed so much maintanace i could barely keep up,and depreciation is crazy.Great car but comes with a steep price.Would i buy another one-probably not.
I knew the car itself would be terrific based on our discussions, my visit to your facilities and what previous customers have said.
What I was not prepared for was a totally different, refreshing and complete customer experience. I have never had a car purchase experience remotely close to the level of customer service, attention to detail and communication.
I say all this and have yet to actually take delivery of the E39 M5 as we wait out a hurricane in the southeast.
While I am a perfectionist when it comes to my cars, I think you and your team are a cut above in those terms. I am so pleased that I chose to work with EAG and know I will again in the future.
All the best and thank you again to you and the entire EAG team.

I love this car. I have had a 525,540,M3 and now the king the E39 M5. It is a wolf in a sheeps clothing. Daily driver for sure but a sportscar when you push the pedal. Its great on long or short trips and the sport button is s blast. The styling is my favorite or any BMW ever made clean lines and no wasted steel. This car is the best sedan that I have ever seen, there are no comparisons.
I have purchased 15 cars from Enthusiast Auto and wouldn't buy anywhere else. If you're looking for a pre-owned M car, this is the place to visit. Their knowledge, service, and quality of cars are second to none. Their prices are not the lowest, but you definitely get what you pay for, especially when looking to buy such a special car. Take my advice from someone who has learned the hard way, don't go anywhere else.

My wife cried when it left for its new home.

From the day I first drove the e39 M5 I wanted one however I didn't want a used one and as they stopped production in MY2003 I decided to wait for the e60 M5. When it came out with only SMG I found a low mileage e39 LeMans Blue still in warranty and didn't regret it. This car will be a great addition to anyonye's garage and at times I still miss it but after bringing home her replacement, a MY2008 e60 M5, I don't see my wife thinking about her old girl any more.
I had a great experience with the guys at EAG. Eric, one of the owners, was my main contact. He was very professional and responsive with me. He provided many detailed photos and service records. We even did a FaceTime call to do a live walk around of the car so that I could ask questions. I flew in from Spicewood TX to pick up the car. The M3 was ready to go on my arrival. The paperwork went quickly and efficiently. I would buy a car from EAG again.

Best all around sports sedan you can own...

I can't say enough good about the E36 M5. I bought a used low mile 2003 M5 a year ago and it lives up to all the praise it gets. The acceleration and handling are increadible, but is capable of being a daily driver. I think it's the best performance sedan for the money! Comfort and a rare level of performance for a car of this size and flexability. You have to drive it to know what all the hype is about.
Over the years I have owned more than a dozen BMW's. From a few 3 series including an M3, almost all 5 series models, a 740il, couple of X5s (including the 4.8is), and the Z8 my wife still has. Of all these cars, and the 911 I have now, the M5 was the best, most rounded car. The only car I can think of where you can seat 4 people in comfort, with an incredible list of features including the best sound system I have ever seen, and still handle, and drive like a competent race car.
I knew the car itself would be terrific based on our discussions, my visit to your facilities and what previous customers have said.
What I was not prepared for was a totally different, refreshing and complete customer experience. I have never had a car purchase experience remotely close to the level of customer service, attention to detail and communication.

All the best and thank you again to you and the entire EAG team.

Most Realible Car I have owned.

I have had several other cars in my last 40 years. I have had BMW X3, 323 but by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a seda. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology!
I've had this car for 3 months and no issues to speak of. The vehicle was a garage queen when purchased and will remain one until I have it. It never fails to put a samile on my face and is an absolute joy to drive. It completely eats the road up. I never understood that comment until I owned one. It is the Beast!
Performance, handling, feel and design of car are all excellent and no other car has this combo in my opinion. As reliable as a 16 year old BMW could possibly be, which means eventually most things have to be replaced or repaired.
I needed a four door car because of a resent addition to my family. I am a huge BMW fan and the e39 m5 was a car I’ve always wanted own. It truly is an amazing experience driving this four door beast. With its manual transmission and 369 foot pounds of torque it accelerates with such ease and joy for the driver. If you are in the market for a fun driving car that can fit the whole family you have to check out the e39 m5.
