Summary
This 1988 BMW M5 is one of 1,340 examples produced for the North American market, featuring a 3.5-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 59k miles, though total mileage is unknown due to inconsistencies in the Carfax report. Recent maintenance includes replacement of the water pump, distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs, and ignition wires, as well as power steering and brake system components.
