N°02 — The Story
A vehicle with provenance.
Equipment and features: This M5 is finished in a timeless shade of black, over a cream leather-trimmed interior, featuring ‘M’ tricolour plaques on the seat backs. · It rides on a set of 16-inch ‘Style 5’ alloy wheels wrapped in Uniroyal tyres. · Equipment includes electrically adjustable front seats, an on-board computer, illuminated vanity mirrors, electric windows and exterior mirrors, heated windscreen washers, air conditioning, ABS, a limited-slip differential, central locking, an electric sunroof, and the ‘M’ leather steering wheel. · The US-market E28 M5 produced 30hp less than European models due stricter emissions standards, which required the use of a catalytic converter. However, this example was fitted with a Dinan performance ECU chip in July 1997, which reportedly raises the redline to 7,200rpm and power to 294hp. · A BMP Design exhaust cam sprocket has also been fitted. · The car will be supplied with a box of spare parts, the US-specification imperial odometer, a spare wheel, a toolkit, its registration certificate, a technical inspection sheet from September 2025 and a collection of invoices. · One ignition key will be supplied.
Condition: The car was repainted; replacement interior components include a new gear lever gaiter and knob, plastic door card tops, the inner door cushions and the glovebox leatherette.
