Up for sale is my ORIGINAL 1988 BMW M5!!! 68k Original Miles I bought this M5 from the original owner just a few months ago. I bought it on a whim, and regretfully it’s has spent most of the past few months in my garage. It is my 4th car, and it’s so clean, with such low miles I almost feel bad driving it. On the other hand, when I do drive it….I don’t want to stop! This is one of the cleanest, nicest, and best documented ORIGINAL Un-Restored E28 M5s out there! It drives like an absolute DREAM! No noises, no squeaks, no rattles, everything works perfectly with the exception of the electric headrests. That is literally the only thing that does not work. It is 100% bone stock! I have a list of some of the highlights that can be hard to find on an E28 M5… Original Crack Free dash with VIN plate Original Factory Radio with 6CD changer and ALL books including radio code card Original Window sticker with ALL books and receipts Original Car Cover that was purchased at the dealership when new All original interior, which is in VERY nice condition All original glass including windshield All original paint with the exception of some paint done to the rear 15years ago This E28 M5 is truly a survivor and drives just like it did the day it was new. It is so smooth, quiet, tight, and strong…it’s really amazing. There is not a spot of rust on the car anywhere! Always garage kept. Always dealer maintained. Literally stock in everyway. Still has the rear leveling suspension, which works exactly as it should. All gauges, lights, buttons, and levers work perfectly. The AC blows VERY cold. It was, however, converted to R134a some time ago. This M5 is every bit as clean in person as it appears in the pictures. If you’ve ever driven one of these…this one drives better! The brakes, tires, plugs, and air filter were all replaced within the last year. This M5 is ready to go with no needs at all!!! There are only a few blemishes and items that I would like to point out. There are a few paint blemishes here and there, with the largest one shown in a picture below. It is on the driver’s side front fender. It has been touched up, and with a fresh coat of wax on it, it really doesn’t look too bad. There are blemishes are a few paint chips here and there, but NOTHING like a 23yr old car would typically have. The paint is VERY glossy, not faded at all, no clear coat issues, ect. I would rate the paint a 9.5 out of 10. The front air dam was just recently repainted only because it was showing it age much more than the rest of the car with a few small scrapes. Now it looks perfect. The interior is a solid 9 out of 10. It is all original with the exception of the shift knob and boot, but I DO have the original, which will go with the car. The only major wear is on the driver’s seat. The interior has always had Lexol used on it. Very, very nice. Soft leather, not stiff or crunchy in any way. As I stated before, mechanically it is a 10 out of 10. The only issue that I can think of is that one of the trunk hinges in un-hinged so the spring assist to open the trunk is not what it should be. The trunk still stays open by itself when lifted all the way up, as it should. Not a real issue, but I am a very fair an honest person so I am listing everything that I can think of. Truly a clean original example of an E28 M5….you’d have a hard time finding a nicer one for sale. Please feel free to e-mail or call me at 615-830-6452. I do not HAVE to sell this car, but am willing to if a fair price is met. Happy Bidding!!! 60 More Pictures Available to serious buyers! ***The Autocheck is showing it's had 3 owners....it was first titled in a company name in NY, then the guy transferred it to his house in CT and also in his personal name. I've had it 3 months. So this car really has only had 1 owner for the last 23 years***
