S. E28 M5 a named mechanical history. Its mileage sits above the middle for the generation.

Strengths

  • First-year U.S.-market M5 with production limited to the 1988 model year.
  • Carfax history is documented from 1990, with California and Arizona registration shown throughout the report.
  • Christopher Kohler performed documented mechanical work in 2020, including installation of the Bilstein dampers and SuperSprint exhaust.

Watch For

  • The odometer is broken and the speedometer works intermittently, so the true mileage is unknown.
  • The Carfax report notes minor damage to the right side and rear in December 2015.
  • The red vinyl wrap has frayed edges, and the car has chips on the front fascia plus wear to the spoiler and exterior trim.
  • The seller notes that the modifications may prevent emissions approval in some states; the air intake tube is also missing.
