1988 BMW M5 - For Sale (page 1)
WBSDC930XJ2875111
Build Date: 10/1987
| Back in April, my cousin Chris and I did a marathon drive down to Atlanta and back in order to pick up the car! | ||
| It's been a great car and a blast to drive,
but it's now for sale. If you are interested in buying this car, feel free to email me by clicking here. |
||
| History of the North American E28 M5: | ||
| Built between 11/86 and 11/87, only 1,370 of these cars were sent to North America from where they had been hand assembled at the BMW Motorsport facility in Garching Germany (a suburb of Munich). The NA version was available only in black with the Natur leather interior (Canadians had the option of black). | ||
| Lot's more information about the E28 M5 can be found here. | ||
| One interesting fact about this car is that it is #1111. Meaning it was the One Thousand One Hundred and Eleventh DC93 (North American-spec) M5 built! | ||
| Photos | ||
| New! I've added another page of photos of this car. Click here to check them out! | ||
| Below are three shots that were in the ad when I bought the car: | ||

 |
 |
| I took these down at the shop while doing some work on the race car. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| After I got the M5 home, I had to introduce it to it's kid brother. |
I think they got along. | These cars are only a year apart from each other. |
 |
I've written a lengthy
document that covers the Good, the Bad and the Ugly as I really want to accurately convey this car's condition. If you are interested in receiving a copy, email me. |
|
| I'm not sure which one I like better! | ||
I'm really in no hurry to sell
it, and have even thought of turning it into another race car. |
||
| Lot's to do | ||
Now
that the car is for sale, I probably won't do much more work to it....
BUT, while it was my primary driver, I did quite a bit... |
||
 |
 |
|
| The first thing was to replace the old short shifter with a much nicer version. The old bushings were totally shot! |
Even the shifter arm got some attention with some new bushings. |
|
 |
 |
 |
Next came the steering box... That was a pain in the BUTT! Now that the new box in there and it seems to be a LOT better.. Here are the other things I've been doing... don't think there are
any photos, but I did have a write up somewhere around here. |
