Please take the time to read the description and look through all the pictures in the link provided: https://picasaweb.google.com/AvusBlauS50/1988M5?authkey=Gv1sRgCNuU-s7-nsWfBA Body (7.5/10): The paint is in extremely good shape considering the age of the vehicle. To this day, the original Schwartz paint shines extremely well. The paint has a few imperfections here and there with minor scratches and spotting as shown in the pictures. This 100% rust free California car has a clean title. Having never been in any sort of accident, this car has all original, matching VIN body panels. With the exception of dents which can be addressed via paint-less dent removal, the body is very straight and lines up extremely well. Interior (8.5/10): The front and rear seats were reupholstered not too long ago in real matching leather. The main floor carpet, as well as the floor mats, has been professionally steam cleaned. All the door panels are in great condition with the exception of that of the driver. Typical of E28, the dash board has several cracks as shown in the pictures. Engine/Transmission (9/10): I must say the engine is one of the strongest points of this car. It has solid low-end torque all the way up through the RPMs. The Engine and exhaust note are phenomenal. The compression is solid across all 6 cylinders and the engine does not leak any fluid. As a matter of fact, this car does not leak any fluids from any of the components including the transmission and differential. The transmission upshifts and downshifts smoothly through all the gears. The clutch is very strong and grabs immediately. This car has never been tracked or modified and has spent the majority of its life cruising down the highway. Suspension/Brakes (9/10): Although the Suspension and brakes have no undergone a complete overhaul, the necessary maintenance has been kept up on these components of the vehicle. The car comes to a solid stop from 80 MPH with no hesitation or vibration. While in possession of this rare example, I have replaced several bushings to ensure a clunk/rattle free ride. The suspension and steering are tight and precise. I would not at all hesitate to drive this car anywhere!
