Was driving around locally the other day when I saw a clean as could be 1988 E28 M5 being driven by an older man in his 70’s… Without a second thought I pulled up next to him had a small discussion with him… He bought the car brand new and has been driving it since 88’ and has accumulated less than 90k miles. Car is mint inside and out and next thing I new he had accepted my offer and I was a proud new owner of an M5…

He included the OEM wheels with new tires which are currently being refinished and will be put on the car… Besides that she will stay the way she is besides a crazy detail…

Neat car. Loved those back in the day. I was a young boy and saw one in London and thought it was the coolest…a bad ass Ferrari pounding family car.

How on earth did he agree to sell it to you?

#3

Thanks man…

He had just purchased a Porsche Boxster and have a few American muscle cars in his garage and his wife hated the M5 lol so he’s like why not I’ll sell it. I was super excited to say the least, especially bc I feel like I got a nice deal.

#4

good timing I guess

go on the M forums and show the car and see what they say. They will likely flame the fuck out of you for those wheels (purists) and for it being out in the salt but they will have some good insight as to value etc.

#5

Haha I’m actually waiting till I get the stock wheels back on it to post up on mye28.com

#6

Couldn’t be happier for you! My all-time favorite car.

That is one gorgeous looking example. Shockingly low mileage.

More pictures!

#7

Pretty cool, Pete. Congrats!

#8

That’s a cool car and story Pete… Good for you… More pics once you get it detailed and the wheels on please…

#9

Awesome find ! Spread some of that luck my way!

#10

Wow Pete that’s awesome. Funny I just posted an e28 m5 link in another thread here a few days ago…the original car and driver test and a link to an e28 m5 with a e34 motor swap…

#11

Motor Swap is the standard motor on these cars these days. Hard to find one original. Same goes for E30

#12

Wow great find there. Either they look like that one or they are beat to hell. I’m surprised the guy sold it to you

#13

Fucking killer man. I love that Gen 5 series. And it looks incredibly mint. Good for you.

#14

I love how the U.S. bumpers add about 16" to the overall length of the car…Euro bumpers may be a consideration…:slight_smile:

Wow that’s a friggin museum piece… great find, congrats!

#16

Thanks man appreciate the kind words… Love old Bimmers and couldn’t pass this one up

#17

Thanks bro!

#18

Thanks Ron, will do. Getting wheels refinished and car will be fully detailed in and out next week… I wanna have my buddy for a professional shoot with my cousins F10 M5… Figured it would be cool to see the two cars together.

#19

Haha will do :stuck_out_tongue:

#20

Thanks Jason!

Cool thing with the E28 is that it’s a few hundred pounds lighter than the E34 so even though the E34 has a 3.8liter version of the E28 engine it isn’t as quick I’ve heard
