Legendary M5 CSL race car for sale in Sweden

I can’t get away from E28 M5s these days. My local search has turned into a cross-country endeavor, but I have faith the time and effort will pay off. Time and effort are in no short supply with today’s extreme M5, the world-renowned E28 M5 CSL. For those who haven’t been exposed to this beat before, it’s two E28s frankensteined into a wide-body E28 M5 cropped to 2 doors and fully race-prepped. White with m-striping gone wild, this is BMW extremism at its finest. Surprisingly, there’s none of the usual Swedish tricks with turbocharged V8s or V10s needed here; it’s got an honest-to-god S38 in it, albeit improved with a B36 bottom end and B38 top end. If you have about €40,000 (€38k if you join Classic and Vintage BMW on Facebook!) and the energy to ship a car from Sweden, buying this car would be the fast track you to BMW M legend.
