Background Story of this 1988 BMW M5

Overview of 1988 BMW M5 For Sale by Owner

As of recently, the marketplace for classic BMWs has been all the rage, and there is a reason for that. Step into any older BMW and you instantly are exposed to a driving experience that's unparalleled and geared to set your driving expectations up a level. With original examples becoming a massive rarity thanks to a massive aftermarket scene giving one access to a host of engine swaps, the 1988 BMW M5 sure makes for a unicorn against the backdrop of German tuner machines. With only reported over 26,000 miles on its clock, one might argue that it simply isn't possible. However, worry not, as the current owner reports that this is a one-owner, original mileage example ready for its new custodian to cruise around in style and enjoy German performance.

Engine

What is normal with classic BMWs is their knack for giving you a performance experience that is otherworldly, and this 1988 MY BMW M5 is no different. Pop open the hood of this classic German machine, and what you will find is a 3.5L S38 Inline 6 motor that is reported to be all stock and ready to give you a factory drive experience. The current owner reports that this uber cool German classic has disc brakes all around to stop as fast as you go. While the inline 6 motor might be a cool feature, what's as iconic is the fact that this German classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, giving you complete control of your drive experience.

1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Supercharged

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$23,999

This 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is what happens when a clean SN95 cruiser is transformed into a genuinely serious street machine. While the chassis shows 99,658 miles, the seller reports that the heavily upgraded drivetrain is substantially fresher, with approximately 2,000 miles on the built 347 stroker V8 and fewer than 750 miles on the professionally built transmission. Finished in factory-correct Laser Red Metallic over Saddle with a matching Saddle soft top, this Mustang retains classic mid-1990s convertible charm while packing performance figures that would embarrass many modern muscle cars. With a dyno-reported output of over 450 horsepower at the wheels and more than 510 lb-ft of torque, this is not a casual bolt-on build—it’s a purposefully assembled forced-induction street car for enthusiasts who appreciate old-school supercharged V8 brutality.
