Purchased this car not long ago in hopes of slowly restoring the car as I enjoy it, but I have another project in mind and selling this will help fund it(another ///M car and my first motorcycle!) If you have questions don't hesitate to ask, happy to take more photos as well. I will try to represent the car as openly as possible, but its often easy to forget a few details. The car has been maintained well by every owner and it shows(a thick booklet of receipts...), seems like everything has been gone over once, some things multiple times. Overall its a great running example that has a few blemishes here and there, but still looks great even from 5 feet away. Over the summer I took the car on a 1700 mile road trip, as well as a few cabin trips and it had no problem doing so. If you are in the market for an E28 M5 you will have found that a $5000 car can easily be a $20,000 car, this one is a car you can enjoy right away and change it as it suits. The car is also very clean, including frequent washings, treating of all rubber seals, interior detailing and never bringing food into the car. My immediate plans were to re-cover the aging interior parts, have the light rust treated over the winter, and order custom coilover suspension to improve ride and handling. Recent Maintenance(last 1000 miles): Motul 15w50 engine oil New OEM air filter Motul 75w80 Transmission fluid Motul 75/90 Rear Differential fluid Spark Plugs Fan clutch Notes: Tires are nearly new Hankook Ventus V12 Most electronics work: Seat adjusments, windows, sunroof, check panel, on board computer are the most notable that often aren't working. AC needs to be recharged. Do not know the code for the radio, but after entering 5 characters it beeps, and the antenna raises and lowers when its turned on, presumably it works. Most of the front suspension replaced with new Lemforder parts by previous owner, still in great shape. From what I can tell non-smoker, no smell and the ash trays look new. Central locking only works from trunk. The engine was replaced, currently it has 87,000 miles. At some point someone got carried away with an orbital polisher, on edges the paint has been slightly worn off revealing the primer. Rust has started under the two front jack points, and slightly on the adjacent panels, its minor at this point. I was quoted $1100 to fix. Other than this its very clean, with no rust under the doors, in the trunk, or the damper mounts. There are several small door dings around the car. All panels have VIN sticker suggesting no serious accidents. Front drivers side bumper cover is slightly cracked. Dash is cracked, as has some of the leather has as well. Trunk spring needs replacing. Things changed from stock: Turner Motorsports Conforti Chip Koala LSD rear rebuild (3.91:1) UUC motorsports shifter Paul Grey Thrust Arm bushes E34 Rear brakes Stainless Brakes lines Front brake ducts For the buy it now price I will complete the following(had parts already as I was planning on keeping the car): New front rotors and pads(currently slightly warped and I don't like the pads, loud when cold) Flex disk Powerflex front sway bar bushings Lemforder front end links Powerflex rear sway bar bushings Valve adjustment(due in 3000 miles)
