All US-spec E28 M5s were finished in Schwarz (086), and this example features front and rear spoilers, an electric sunroof, fog lights, and a dual-outlet exhaust. The mirror glass lenses were replaced in December 2021 at which time a mirror switch was also replaced. The selling dealer notes evidence of paintwork on the left-front fender.
Silver-finished 16″ basketweave alloy wheels were reportedly refinished during current ownership and are mounted with 225/50 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires. Braking is handled by ventilated front and solid rear discs with ABS. Work completed since 2021 has included overhauling the brake calipers and replacing the power steering pump, control arms, damper assemblies, wheel bearings, ride-level pressure reservoirs, tie rods and ends, and brake master cylinder, accumulator, and proportioning valve.
The heated power-adjustable front sport seats are upholstered in Natur leather, and matching upholstery extends to the rear seats, armrests, lower dashboard, and center stack. Additional amenities include an onboard computer, power windows, air conditioning, cruise control, sisal floor mats, and a Bluetooth-capable Pioneer stereo. Spare seat covers and seatbelt receivers are included in the sale.
The three-spoke M-Tech steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,900-rpm redline as well as auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 173k miles, approximately 7k of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.5-liter S38B35 inline-six was rebuilt in 2022, the process of which included cleaning the block, installing larger valves, bead-blasting the camshaft carrier, micro-polishing the crankshaft, and refinishing the valve cover. Additional work completed since the previous auction has included installing Mahle pistons, adjusting the idle, and replacing the following components:
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Getrag 280 five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Records indicate that the driveshaft flex disc, output shaft seal, differential mount, shift shaft seal, shift bushing, transmission mounts, and selector rod pin and joint were replaced since the previous auction.
