fap fap fap... I will have one of these one day! Just have to finish pharmacy school first!... then pay back the student loans. But then, I will have one! Your's is a beautiful example of what these cars should look like. Clean, elegant, e28... and an M5 no less.

I've spent all winter pondering whether to buy one of these. An acquaintance in Minnesota has one for sale, but since I already have two cars full in the garage and a truck that gets parked in the street, it means I'd have to sell my E30 that I've just got pretty much finished and have a long relationship with. I maybe should go up and drive the thing first before I pass on it though? Maybe I'm avoiding being lured in by the sweet sound of that engine.

Anyway, how does driving the E28 M5 on the track compare to an E30? I've been told by one friend that they're amazingly tossable, but have a hard time believing that.

Bumping this thread a bit. The M5 has been a lot of fun in the last year of ownership, but it has had a few little problems...

-It has the classic brake shimmey
-It has the classic brake bomb symptoms
-It has a bit of a power steering leak
-I think it also has a bit of a oil leak.

Not that surprising since it just passed 211,000 miles, in fact I think it's running exceptionally well overall for a high performance car of it's age!

Last weekend I took it up to High Planes Raceway, and it was a hoot to bash around the track!

nice buy! how'd it get black interior? I thought they were all black on tan....

of the 1,700ish built, 30 near the end of production had black interior!


Thanks for the comments guys, It's a fun car to have! Taking it out right now for a mountain road drive.

Not all. A few were black/black, at least in the US.

I love your M5. I was looking at it there, seriously contemplating how bad I want one like that, sitting there on staggered 18" style 5s with the right euro parts...

Suddenly I realized I have an M5. It's just not as cool as yours. Yep, mine may be faster, but yours is cooler.

Holy Jeebus!
That sounds awesome!

[!AjHoWzA!]

Ahhh I love E28! Looks great man! Those wheels flow nicely with it!

[Schnitzer318is]

This and that.

This car is one of the classiest and mean cars ever.

What he said. Very nice.

I miss my e28... will get another someday, when I have the garage space for the extra toys.

Yes, shorten the tips. They stick out way too far. Sounds great though!
