Engine dynos at 257 WHP and 231 Wtq which converts to 300 hp and 271 tq. Ground Control coil overs with Koni Adj, 265/6 Getrag trans with short shifter, new clutch, 3:73 S large case rear, new rear E34 M5 needle bushings and camber adj, E34 M5 brakes, E28 M5 wheels, Factory Euro M5 front spoiler, New headlights, Grills, fogs, center grill, Us M5 air box and speedo, New brake bomb, E28 M5 quick ratio steering box, new oil cooler and fuel lines, 2 new fuel pumps in tank and out, new axels,
Paint: Factory original Zinno Red. (no paint work) there are a few dings and scratches (see photos) overall paint is very good cond. Battery located to trunk using all factory wiring and all fittings stud welded in factory locations. factory Euro bat box painted to match. many brackets made and welded in factory locations to replicate Original M5. (does not come with M5 trunk carpet). Interior: Black leather in very good cond, Factory E28 Manual sport seats, Dash is a euro dash that was shipped from Spain and during shipping got hit on top created a small circular crack. New black headliner (windows out). carpet excellent.
This car is very well built and sorted it is fast and very tight. It can keep up with modern cars. And handles like a Porsche. It has immediate torque @ 3,200 rpms due to the cam gear and miller chip.
M5 s were a head of there times! I am selling this car and sold my Porsche GT3 to concentrate on restoring my very very Rare original 1986 M5 Euro. If you have driven a US E28 M5 you will find this car exhilarating its lighter more power and with all the upgrades it feels like it has rack and pinion steering.
If this were and (original) Euro M5 in this condition it would sell for $65,000- $80,000 in Europe.
Note: This is not an original M5. And I have spent a many many hours to replicate it to look, drive and sound like one.
