1993 e34 m5 - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Here are some pictures of an e34 M5 we just did some work on for a dealer that is selling it. Car is extremely clean with only 72,000 miles! Paint could use some help and a nice detail but the engine compartment looks brand new.
Enjoy!

Get out the orbital polisher to remove those swirl marks and send out the wheels to get the edges smoothed over. Otherwise a clean looking car. A weekend with Menzerna plus a good wax would really give that paint some depth and shine.

Very nice!

Looks like a pretty nice example...Like everyone's mentioned, with some cleaning/polishing and maybe some seat re-dye, it would look spectacular.

Does it appear to have been subjected to much winter driving? (salt/corrosion)

Was pretty clean underneath but this car has gone through hell, I don't think one body panel is original, was in an accident and the re-spray was done very poorly. The only thing positive out of this car is the low miles....

Not a fan of the wood trim inside...but thats just me.

That hood is unusually pitted for a car w/ 72K, and the worn off M emblem on the intake plenum usually burns off from a coolant blow.

I saw your thread w/ price on BF. Kinda high,but maybe they'll find a home for this beast.

Has the car ever been in an accident before because it looks as if the steering wheels airbag has been poorly replaced. Whats the price that the dealer is looking for. I may know an interested buyer.
