Fellow GCFSBer Paul forwarded me this E28 M5 as he experiences the same mental obsession for M5s I had while I was hunting for mine, albeit focused on E39s. With the car finally out of the shop after getting fully squared away post-purchase, it’s amazing how the stress of spent dollars is immediately drowned out by the sweet inline-6, the smiles in the corners washing away the anguish of reattaching the steering box. Today’s M5 has just 106k miles, which puts it in “very nice” territory. Shame he didn’t decide to sell it 7k miles ago, as sub-100k mile M5s induce more drool from the fanboys. There isn’t a lot of information on the listing, but it looks extremely clean outside and in, including the mythical uncracked dashboard. $20k seems a little optimistic, and is a threshold usually reserved for cars far below 100k miles. That said, the market on these has been on a plateau for a while and might start edging up. For someone looking for the cleanest of M5s, this could well be worth it.
1988 BMW M5 for sale on Hemmings
Very basic info from the seller:
1988 BMW M5, This M5 has only 106,000 miles and features a 256 HP and 243 pound-feet of torque, at the time of production it was considered to be the “fastest sedan on the planet.” Standard equipment includes a full natural tan leather interior and list of comforts such as power seats, cruise control, heated seats, a 5-speed transmission, brad new Yokohama tires with new original rims from BMW, and an 8 speaker AM/FM, Cassette, 10 Disc CD changer stereo system.
A lot of questions will need to be asked before coughing up $20k for this. But if it is truly as clean as it looks, this is a hot M5.
NR
You can ask all the questions you like its not a 20 grand car. Seen lower miles examples in top shape not draw anywhere near that price.
One of my all time favorites.
