UPDATE: Had a photoshoot done with the ever talented Xander Cesari (@merriman.motors on instagram). 20 of those are posted in high res at the end of this post. Here is a link to the full set of 49:
Hello All,
The time has come to part ways with my E34 M5. Car is a January 1990 build date in Jet Black (668) over silver gray (0227). Better pictures will come this weekend as I have a photoshoot scheduled for Saturday, but in the mean time, please see my instagram @gzdaboostman for more pictures.
PRICE: SOLD!
MILES: 167,000
This car has been lovingly cared for by each of its previous 3 owners and myself. A European delivery car, it lived in California its entire life until I purchased it. It’s been garaged every entire winter and was never pulled out until the first major rain washed the salt away. Always enthusiast maintained, the focus has been on drivability and originality as opposed to concourse level aesthetics. The car has full service records since it was out of warranty in 1998. I bought this car from BaT in spring 2017, and never intended to sell it, but the time has come. Recent maintenance (within the last year or 3000 miles) includes:
The drivetrain is near perfect and the car pulls strong and hard all the way to redline. The car does have a Dinan chip installed and did when I bought it, but I have always been cautious not to exceed 7k RPMs. I also have a D’Sylva stock redline chip NIB that hasn’t been installed. There is some weep from the rear SLS, but it still functions and was recently topped off with Some original Pentosin 7.1 (which is impossible to find these days). A brand new in package M5 badge will be included if not installed before sale.
The pilot supersports have a lot of life left in them, and they’re mounted on M Tech wheels with throwing stars, which in my opinion look way better than the turbo fans. Being an early car (1 of less than 600in NA) this car has a few unique features including silvergray nappa leather (0227) instead of light silvergray nappa leather (0438) and the much better looking ellipsoid headlights instead of the free forms. Being a ’91 this car also has the 3.91 rear diff instead of the 3.73 which is more fun to drive because really, who cares about gas mileage more than acceleration when you’re getting 11/17mpg. Also, the shorter ratio combined with the dinan chip means you passing in 5th is a little easier. You can read more about the differences between years here:

Everything an e34 traditionally needs has been recently done to this car.
Here’s a link to when I listed the car myself in 2018 and it didn't sell:
1991 BMW M5
Here’s a link to the original BaT ad from when I purchased the car. Highlights include a new PS system and guibo:

It is also one of the earliest production M5’s on record in North America according to M registry:

Feel free to ask any questions. Car is a rock solid driver and I'd love for a fellow M5 enthusiast to enjoy it.

too bad the 500 isn’t allowing fans or I’d be roughly in the neighborhood.
