This BMW M5 was delivered new in France, by the Yvelines dealership, in March 1987.
It is one of the 588 cars sold in Europe, with the famous engine fitted to the BMW M1, and one of the last produced (this example benefits from various improvements: on-board computer, electric windows, shock absorbers, new anti-roll bars, large wheels...).
It's a fourth hand car, with a totally clear history and 150,000kms on the clock.
Fitted as standard with the M-Technik Kit Pack (option code 715 including spoiler, rocker panels and rear skirt), air conditioning, leather pack and autoblocker, this M5 has just undergone a major overhaul, with all mechanical components restored or rebuilt:
- Complete engine overhaul (new pistons, liner, gaskets, cylinder heads, etc.)
- Gearbox and rear axle opened and completely renovated, new clutch
- Complete renovation of running gear: epoxy arms, springs, shock absorbers, discs, brake pads, hoses, silent-blocs...
- New radiator, spark plugs, all new hoses, fuel tank, fuel pump, stainless-steel exhaust system, new TRX GTB tires
The total cost of the overhaul (carried out at München Legend Car) is around 40,000 euros (invoices available).
