Our Take:
- The 1988 BMW M5 is a unicorn in the automotive world. This model is part of the E28 series, and it's revered for blending understated, executive styling with raw, sports car power. It was hand-assembled at BMW's factory in Garching, Germany, which is pretty rare compared to today's assembly line vehicles.
- The heart of this beast is the legendary BMW M88/3 engine. Originally derived from the engine used in the BMW M1 supercar, this straight-six powerplant churns out around 256 horsepower. Back in the '80s, having a family sedan with the heart of a racetrack legend was quite the flex.
- Driving a manual transmission is a rite of passage for true car enthusiasts. The manual gearbox in this M5 imbues it with a level of engagement that’s often lacking in modern automatics. It's like having a secret handshake with your car, where every gear change brings you closer to the soul of this iconic machine.
- The all-black exterior and interior create a sleek, timeless look. In a world where cars scream for attention with flashy colors and designs, this M5 maintains an air of understated elegance—that classic "wolf in sheep's clothing" vibe. Even at over 153,000 miles, a well-cared-for example like this can still turn heads and stir discussions among Bimmer aficionados.
