Thank you for the interest in my rust free Dinan tuned 1988 BMW M5. Black (086), Natur Leather (0237) interior. 5 speed Manual transmission, 3.5 Liter inline 6 cylinder engine. Most likely if you are looking at this post you understand the rarity of this vehicle. The vehicle is entirely rust free and a great example of the second rarest M-badged BMW ever produced. Entirely hand built, with production numbers somewhere around 1,236 imported to the United States. My personal history on the vehicle is that I purchased the vehicle sight unseen two months ago with a no start condition. Given the maintenance records and overall condition of the vehicle I was comfortable with the nature of the purchase. Upon arrival of the M5 I had it sent directly to a local BMW specialist garage which subsequently diagnosed the M5 with two bad fuel pumps. The fuel pumps were immediately replaced and the vehicle has been running great since. Upon driving the vehicle home from the garage, I realized that the odometer was frozen, I contacted the previous owner and he assured me that prior to the no start condition the odometer was not frozen and was recording the mileage accurately (I have legal disclosures and correspondence to prove this). I have driven the vehicle over 200 miles in order to assure that the vehicle is running properly. The engine has not been rebuilt but runs very strong, it pulls hard in every gear. It has a Dinan performance chip with all receipts from the purchase and install. I have service records for the majority of the vehicles life that show it was appropriately maintained. The M5 is in overall amazing shape. This being said it does need a couple things, new bushings upfront, ball joints, the AC doesn't work, and seat motor in the driver seat won't move the seat back portion of the seat forward. All this being said, it is a solid vehicle that could be a very interesting collectors piece.
