Production numbers were barely over 2. 00 examples worldwide (approx. 1. 40 for North America per the M5 Registry) and MSRPs were around $50. 00 (over $110. 00 in today’s dollars). The lucky few who were able to purchase one knew they had something special. These were the original BMW “wolf in sheep’s clothing. ” They were legendary on the Autobahn yet nimble enough to challenge most sports cars on mountain roads. With E30 M3 prices ramping up. these much more rare and more practical M cars are quietly attracting the attention of many savvy collectors. Unfortunately. well-maintained and original examples are extremely difficult to find. This M5 is one of those rare few that has led a charmed life. The previous owners not only enjoyed the car. but also truly knew how to maintain and care for it. The condition and history exemplify this. This M5 was delivered to Gebhardt Motors in Boulder. Colorado on November 18th. 1987. It was sold new to the first owner on July 12th 1988. We have the original window sales sticker. which shows the following factory and dealer options: Factory front seat heatersBuilt in K-40 radar detectorWindow tintPin striping (hand-painted)Floor matsExterior/interior Teflon sealant The first owner and his neighbor (2nd owner) put 65. 00 miles on this BMW over the course of 11-years. It was then sold to the owner of a vintage European Auto dealership. This owner kept the car for a few years and put another 12. 00 miles on it. He sold it in the early 2000’s to the current Southern California owner. For the 11+ past years. this owner has used the car as a part time daily driver and weekend touring car. He was fanatical about it’s maintenance/service routine. The following are highlights of recent/significant services as well as enhancements: Oil service performed every 3. 00 miles/twice a year since newJim Conforti ECU chip upgrade (original chip included)Dinan exhaust cam gear (original gear included)Original self-leveling rear suspension (functions properly) with newer Boge front strut insertsTransmission seals replaced (2/14)New pedal boxMaster and slave cylinder replacedBrake flushNew front upper control arms and bushingsNew front and rear brake pads and rotors (125k miles)Driveshaft rebuilt (originally replaced at 52k miles)Water pump and belts replacedRadiator replaced (97k miles)Original factory exhaust system with original (NLA) exhaust tips (included)Factory European bumper/lights conversion using all new parts ($6. 50)New factory European front and rear lower valancesFactory European M5 spoilerH1 city driving lightsAll original VIN stamped bumper parts are included (see pics)A/C Compressor rebuilt to retain originalityNew A/C drier/system flushed and serviced with R134Original 16x7. 5 wheels with Bridgestone RE-11 tires (225/50-16)European front license plate The original numbers matching S38 engine is strong with even compression.
