Original e28 M5

1988 BMW M5 Additional Info:

I am sad to be departing with my beloved 1988 M5. It is all original, and in fairly good condition—great condition considering the mileage (225,000). The interior exhibits a reasonable amount of wear and tear, although the seats are in exceptional condition considering the mileage (I believe them to be refinished). The dash is cracked, buttons faded, and the radio is missing (at some point an aftermarket unit and woofer was installed). The mechanics are very strong, the car drives great, although it needs some bushings, shocks, and TLC generally.

It has, however, had many semi-recent service items including a new water pump, new fuse box, SLS service, shift linkage bushing replaced, etc. (and new Michelin Pilot Sports). The body panels all have VIN stickers except a “DOT-R” sticker under the hood.

The car has no rust except for a tiny spot of surface rust on the inside lip of the trunk near the brake light, and some surface spots around the battery compartment. The trunk carpeting is missing, the windows are tinted, and the fuse box needs to be reinstalled correctly (wipers and high-beams not working).

The car needs some sorting, but it is a good driver’s car. It comes with some new OEM extras, including a new set of tools, decals, etc.

Please inquire with any questions. I reserve the right to terminate this auction prior to completion.
