The BMW E34 M5 was the last of the M cars to be hand built at the BMW M factory therefore becoming an iconic car over time. Over its lifespan of 6 years, the E34 M5 had 2 engines at its disposal.
The first version of the E34 M5 had a S38B36 3.6-liter engine delivering 310 HP and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm) of torque whilst the updated version build after 1992 had S38B38 version of the same engine which meant that the engine capacity was increased to 3.8-liters and the power output was pushed at 335 HP with 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque.
The one we're looking at today is a 1991 edition with the S38B36 engine. The seller claims that the car was upgraded with a Dinan Stage 1 kit and some other improvement that had a total cost of $15,000 (€11,500) and include:
Furthermore the A/C Compressor was rebuilt a 18 moths ago and the rear shock absorbers were replaced 2 years ago. The car came with standard electric heated seats, power lock doors, on board computer, sunroof and fog lights and all of them are still working.
If the car really is exactly as described, and looks as good as it does in the pictures posted on eBay, we have a bargain here. Too bad the car is in California but who knows, maybe some of you are interested in this jewel and would like to try it out.
