The 1988 BMW M5 is finished in Black with a Tan interior. Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter S38 inline-six paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Hand-built and derived from BMW's motorsport engineering, this legendary sports sedan delivers sharp throttle response, balanced handling, and one of the purest analog driving experiences of its era. Exterior features include Black paint, factory BBS-style wheels finished in silver, original body styling, classic understated performance sedan proportions, and preserved period-correct presentation. Inside, the cabin offers Tan leather upholstery, low-mileage preserved condition, complete original interior components, premium comfort, and traditional BMW driver-focused ergonomics. Additional features include four-wheel disc brakes, factory-spec drivetrain presentation, rear-drive dynamics, collectible first-generation M5 significance, and timeless enthusiast appeal. The 1988 BMW M5 delivers a rare combination of motorsport-bred inline-six performance, manual-transmission engagement, and iconic BMW sports sedan heritage.
