Picked up an '88 M5 on Tuesday, as a driver/project. 155k, zero rust. original seats pretty much destroyed, black leather seats from another e28 are in right now.
Only problems I have encountered so far would be a slight pulling to the right (steering box or tie rod, idk haven't had time to check yet) and a tendency to puke a little coolant after a high RPM run.
What I would like to do is bring it back to a more aesthetic M5. Right now the rough interior needs a lot of attention, as well as several dings and dents on the outside. Apparently someone attempted to steal this car; there is a small 3/4" dent/hole underneath the driver's door keyhole from what might have been a chisel. Glass moonroof does not retract into roof, track needs to be adjusted. Driver's side rear door lock is inop, unknown cause.
All in all, this is a place to keep my ass on track and show some photos. Any input is appreciated, I figured this was an opportunity to own a legend. Onto the pics
That's all I have for now, unfortunately I have been super busy this week trying to get this registered/insured
