1991 E34 M5 Surfaces in Tacoma

A very clean 1991 E34 M5 has hit the market in the Pacific Northwest.  The market for these cars can be a bit of a mixed bag as condition and care vary wildly.  This example looks to be well cared for and in very good condition.  At 136k the mileage is still reasonable and the seller states the car comes with records as to avoid any surprises.

1991 M5 for Sale

“1991 BMW E34 M5. One of the 1,485 hand built machines for the US. 310 horsepower from the factory. Very fast, amazing handling and braking in a civilized package.136,000 miles. Beautiful condition inside and out. Black on black leather. Power everything. Lots of service records. This car has been loved its whole life. Original other than Alpine alarm with keyless entry, Bav Auto springs, Bilstein Sports, Self Leveling Suspension Delete, 850 bushings, Racing Dynamics strut bar and sways, and Turner motorsport chip. The only flaws in the interior are a slightly warn shift knob and a very small worn corner of the drivers door panel pocket. The exterior is very nice with very minor cosmetic blemishes here and there. All original VIN tags in place. All original paint except for grille and mirror faces painted for rock chips. Amazing for an 18 year old car. The S38 motor runs great with excellent compression and leakdown numbers (photo documentation available). An incredible driving and looking car. The best car I’ve ever owned. I’d love to keep it forever but I’ve been given the chance to buy what I consider the ultimate classic BMW. If I could afford both, I would! I’m asking $12,500 but cash talks!”

While not a show car this is a very clean M5 at a fair price.  The seller paints a very thorough description and the pictures that accompany the ad are fantastic.  The photo taken from the top could have been hanging in my room as a very young fellow when my M car lust first began.  The photos also shed some light on the cars warts, all of which could be addressed with enough time and money.  Assuming the PPI checked out this would be a great value at $12.5K.

1991 BMW e34 M5 For Sale in Red with 47k Miles

Stellar mileage on this very nice looking 1991 BMW M5 listed on eBayMotors:

quote from seller’s eBayMotors listing:

I am selling this car with a heavy heart. My first born is due to arrive on earth in March and so this is the only reason I am selling this car. Too many toys and this one is going.

About:
This is a 1991 E34 M5 US Model with 47,962 original miles to chassis and engine with matching numbers(the mileage will go up by a few miles as I drive it to keep it fresh). This car has not been modified in any way; it is one hundred percent stock down to the radio. There is no rust on this car. In very good condition with low miles.

For the most part the pictures show a great looking original car. The engine compartment could use some detailing, but aside from that, it looks really sharp in that red on light tan leather. I’d hope a car like this would have some records, but the ad doesn’t mention any specifically. But then the seller states right in the auction description that his reserve is only $17k. If a PPI checked out, I’d easily overlook that omission for a car with such low miles!

1995 BMW 540i M-sport Dinan V8 6-speed blk/blk For Sale

A true e34 540i M Sport is a rare beast, and here’s one for sale in San Francisco for $15k on Craigslist:

quote from seller’s Craigslist posting:

This is a real 540i M-Sport. One of 200 made, last of the E34 body cars. Making this one even more rare, it has a manual transmission and all available options on top of the $7600 M-sport option. (ASC+T traction control, heated seats…) BMW went to the M5 parts bin with these M-Sport cars and put all of the M5 parts on it except for the Engine/Transmission, instead it recieved a 4.0 V8 mated to a 6-speed manual.

I think these are fantastic cars. But being in a used sportscar slump with the economy in the toilet, one has to wonder if the $15k asking of this car is a bit optimistic. After all, an e34 M5 of the same vintage, mileage, and condition trades hands in the same neighborhood. Sure the S38 will cost more in the long run, but how much more?

1991 BMW e34 M5 in Alpine White

Alpine white on black leather. Does it get any better on an M car than this? I don’t think so either. This 1991 e34 M5 looks very clean for 104k miles, and if the documentation of upkeep holds up, $11k sounds like an absolute bargain for this legendary modern classic.

Listing on Roadfly for this 1991 BMW M5 in Alpine White in MA:

1991 BMW e34 M5 Black Leather

quote from Roadfly listing:

1991 BMW M5 The e34 M5 was a very special car. Each was hand built by a team of two skilled craftsmen. This one has been Garaged kept and is in excellent shape. It has 109K Miles. It is white with black leather interior. The car has upgraded Dinan supension, Dinan chip and cam gears. Absolutely Immaculate Interior and All power functions operational. A/C blows Strong and Cold. Extensive service history.

There are a lot of if’s when it comes to e34 M5’s, and there is homework that must be done for this car. But on the other hand, it wasn’t too long ago that cream puff e34 M5’s were in the $18-25k range. If it took a few thousand to get this car into really sharp condition, you’d still be ahead of the game.

1993 BMW e34 M5 For Sale: A 59k Mile Steal!

A black e34 M5 for $19k with 59k miles… What’s the catch?

Update 9.15.08: – Now ad $17.5k. Links updated.

1993 BMW e34 M5 For Sale on Roadfly:

quote from Roadfly listing:

Low mileage, well-maintained M5. Drivetrain is stock except for DINAN chip and UUC short shift kit. Near new Michelin Pilot tires and Rondel wheels ( 5 ). New BMW OEM catalytic converters. All fluids changed within last 6 months. Interior and exterior are 8/9 out of 10. Price is firm. Serious inquiries only, please.

The only thing I take issue with are the aftermarket rims, which are probably inferior to the OEM originals. If this is in fact a clean survivor with some records, $19k sounds like a steal to me considering I’ve seen comparable examples in the low to mid 20’s more often than not.

Update: This post is pretty out of date. Why not consider one of these BMW M5’s that is currently for sale?!
