Our Take:
- First Generation E28 M5: The 1988 BMW M5 is part of the revered E28 series. It was the first iteration of the M5 and set the standard for what a high-performance luxury sedan should be. With BMW's M division throwing a detuned version of the M1's engine under the hood, this car was something of a wolf in sheep's clothing—a true sleeper. If you ever wondered what it felt like to drive a practical family sedan that could shame sports cars of its day, this M5 is your answer.
- Rare Manual Transmission: Man, a five-speed manual in a performance sedan? That’s the stuff dreams are made of. These cars were built when you had to use all four limbs to dance with the road—heel-and-toe shifting and rev-matching aren't just buzzwords here; they're a way of life. Plus, with the joyous mechanical clinks and clicks of this transmission, it's enough to make any car enthusiast weak at the knees.
- Hand-Assembled Precision: Each of these E28 M5s was hand-assembled by BMW Motorsport GmbH in Garching, Germany. That's right, no robots here—just skilled craftsmen meticulously putting this car together. It's like owning a piece of art; you can just picture the precision and care that went into each corner and curve, can't you?
- Collectible Status: With only a few thousand built worldwide, finding an E28 M5 today is like stumbling upon a hidden gem. The mileage might seem high at 158,393, but for a car enthusiast, that's mostly proof of a life well-lived. These cars are known to be robust, and with dealer maintenance, it could still be the ultimate driving machine you'd expect, even decades down the line.
