Summary
This 1988 BMW M5 is one of 1,340 black-finished examples produced for the North American market, with the current owner adding 180k of its 364k miles since 2004. It features a replacement five-speed manual transmission, a retrimmed Cardinal leather interior, European-specification bumpers and headlights, Dinan springs, Bilstein dampers, and 17″ BBS RS740 wheels. The front-end is believed to have been refinished, and there are dings on the trunk as well as scratches and paint chips around the body.
