About the Vehicle
The E28 BMW M5 remains one of the most significant performance sedans ever produced, combining the understated styling of the 5 Series with the hand-built character and performance of BMW's legendary M division. For the North American market, just 1,340 examples were produced, making the E28 M5 a particularly significant chapter in BMW M history.
This 1988 M5 is a particularly compelling example, not only for its excellent condition, but for its unusually well-documented history and long-term California provenance.
Finished in Black over a desirable Natur leather interior, this M5 has accumulated 135,000 miles while being meticulously maintained throughout its life. The car has been registered in California since 1991, giving it more than three decades of documented California history. Even more compelling is the extensive service documentation that accompanies the car, with more than 60 pages of records covering over a decade of ownership and maintenance.
The quality of the car reflects that history. It has been carefully cared for and remains in excellent condition, presenting as a well-preserved example of BMW's iconic E28 M5. The extensive records provide an unusually detailed look into the car's maintenance and ownership history.
Adding another interesting layer to its provenance, the M5 has previously been owned and used by notable figures in the technology industry. Combined with its exceptionally well-documented service history and decades-long California registration, this is an E28 M5 with a story that extends well beyond its specifications.
For an enthusiast looking for an M5 that can be appreciated both for its driving experience and its history, this example offers the combination of condition, documentation, and provenance that is increasingly difficult to find.
