DESCRIPTION

The first BMW M5 (the E28) was built between 1985 and 1988, based on the current 5 Series, and made its debut at the Amsterdam Motor Show in February 1984. It was the product of a demand for an automobile with the carrying capacity of a saloon, but the overall appeal of a sports car. It utilized the 535i chassis and an evolution of the body kit from the M535i. At its launch, the E28 M5 was the fastest production saloon in the world and has since been hailed as one of the greatest driver's cars of all time.

This iconic E28 M5 is a European left-hand drive model fitted with the superb M5 S38 engine that makes a lovely 6-cylinder noise. Mated to a 5-speed gearbox, the performance of this car is impressive even by today's standards. Ordered new in the superb colour of Alpine White with a black leather interior, it has covered 221,000 kilometres and been the subject of significant expenditure.

The car has been re-commissioned in recent years and this work included a new radiator, brand new original 16" BBS wheels from BMW classic parts division, brand new Pirelli tyres and new spark plugs. All fluids have been recently changed and the car is described by the owner as ready to be used and enjoyed. In addition, Danish registration tax has been paid.

Supplied with bill from last service and new service book, this M5 represents an opportunity to own and drive one of "the' motoring icons of its era. Buyers are encouraged to contact the office for additional information or to arrange a pre-sale inspection.
