THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1988 BMW E28-chassis M5 sedan. Driven approximately 6,000 miles per year on California and Arizona roadways, this quite special 36 year-old classic Bimmer was THE first Motorsport version of the 5 series with ONLY 1,370 examples produced for the United States for $59,000 in 1988! The E28 M5was a very special and coveted today by Bimmerphiles and collectors. Some of the factory-equipped performance and and safety amenities include the 256 horsepower inline six cylinder engine mated to the 5 speed manual transmission, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS anti-lock, electric windows and sunroof, heated electric Natur leather Recaro-designed sport seats, BBS alloy wheels, cruise control, OBC computer, cruise control, trunk-mounted tool kit, M5-specific front and rear spoilers and lots more. Extras, upgrades and recent service and new parts include: engine cylinder head rebuild and timing chain replacement [$6,473] at 191,670 miles, high-quality red vinyl wrap over the original Shwartz black paint, Bilstein sport shocks, upper and lower control arms, Dinan lowering springs, Billy boat exhaust system, Dinan performance chip, all new hoses, belts, alternator fuel pump, Moosehead Engineering spherical bushings, Auto Solutions short shifter, Coco floor mats, bluetooth-capable Pioneer head unit,master cylinder, brake pads and rotors, fan clutch, sensors, dashboard, badges, Redline fluids, guibo, mounts and lots more! With tens of thousands of dollars recently invested, this 36 year-old classic BMW is in many ways BETTER THAN NEW...faster, tighter and better feeling than from the factory and ready for the next 100,000 miles of motoring! THE EXTERIOR
The exterior of this 1988 BMW is in 99.99% rust-free excellent condition overall with the vinyl red wrap looking like gloss red paint. I acquired the car as you see it though I do have pre-wrap installation photos available. The paint is quite presentable underneath with a smattering of small rock nicks, scratches and other light blemishes. The wheels are factory new, the tires are also near new with some light flat-spotting due lack of driving. There is a bit of peeling off of the wrap on the bottom lip of the front spoiler.
THE INTERIORAs is articulated here in the photos, the cockpit of this non-smoker M5 sedan is excellent condition overall with all systems and controls working as they should. There is some expected light wear on the refinished leather upholstery and trim pieces. Overall this vintage interior is comfortable, business-like and true BMW through and through
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCEThis '88 BMW starts easily and runs extremely well with smooth free revving power and willing acceleration, buttery smooth shifting transmission, responsive steering with confidence-inspiring handling and braking. With that classic analog feel, this E28 sedan is a still VERY satisfying driving machine! Test drive video here: https://youtu.be/SvEqAS2tZXk?si=5_Fzq-BImWbLq77B
