1988 BMW E28 M5

Black with Tan Interior

107k miles

Fully Serviced with all OEM BMW Parts

I have over $13,000 in receipts of services and maintenance that has been performed on this vehicle over the past 2 years.

1 of 1236 produced

New Yokohama S-Drive Tires which have been mounted on the OEM wheels.

Billy Boat Cat-back Exhaust (Stock included in sale)

Bavarian Auto-sport Catalytic Converter

4 New Brake Calipers, 4 New Rotors, New Front and Rear Suspension as well as a new Battery along with a long list of other services performed.

The car is mint inside and out, the interior is free of any rips, tears or stains and has not been modified in any way. The front seats show very minimal wear and the rear seats look as if they were never used. The exterior is mint as well, the paint shines like brand new and is coated with top of the line wax, polish and sealant. The car was maintained by me and Andrew from Long Island Detailers. It has been opticoated recently. It has been garage kept since it was purchased in 1988. The car is free of rust, rot and any body work. The car is all original and literally looks as if it has been in a time capsule for the past 25 years.

I have all the service documents, receipts and paperwork on the vehicle. The owners manual and all OEM BMW booklets are in the glove box just like the day it rolled off the showroom floor. The car was purchased by my neighbor in 1988 from Manhattan BMW, it was sold to my other neighbor 15 years later and he was the one who sold it to me last year. The car has always been within 1 mile of where it resides now.

If I had to rate this car out of 10 I would say it's a 9/10 Exterior, 9/10 Interior and a 9/10 mechanically. They're are no noticeable scratches, dings, dents, paint fade or anything. The car is tight as a whistle, pulls strong and handles amazing. You will not be disappointed and I can confidently this is probably one of the cleanest all original E28 M5's left in the country. The dash is crack free as well which is extremely rare in an E28. Also the full tool kit is in the trunk as well and looks like new which is a other rarity.

The Cluster was changed by BMW at 68,956 miles and I have NYS documentation to provide to show the mileage matches up. The odometer currently reads 39,152.

The Carfax is clean as well and that will be provided as well in the documentation that comes with the the vehicle.

The best part of this car is the fact that everything is here and everything works as intended. Every button and every control works flawlessly. Nothing needs to be done to this vehicle, just buy it and enjoy it. Transmission shifts smooth, engine runs beautifully and the car handles like a dream.

I've seen these cars all over the place in pricing but from what I've seen, in similar condition and mileage they seem to be going for anywhere between 28-34k. I've seen some outliers in the low 20's and a few in the 40's, some in the 50's and a very low mileage example fetch almost 80k!

I'm confident that this car will be continually gaining value and not only is it a awesome car but also an even more awesome investment.. Only reason I'm selling is because I just got into a new business and planning on getting married over the next 18 months and I want to free as much cash as possible and this is one of the things I must get rid of.

I'm looking to get 24k for the car. I'm slightly flexible but considering the condition I'm not looking to move much on that price.

Pictures of the updated Carfax, Maintenance Records, receipts, manuals and vehicle from every angle have been posted to be viewed. This car will simply not disappoint. A video can be provided as well for anyone interested.

Looks like a clean example.

These are definitely appreciating as 80s classics begin to get their due.

I run the same tires and exhaust on mine.

 

Ah billy boat, that's the exhaust on mine! I couldn't remember what it was for the life of me! GLWS. I pray you get 24k!
