Probably not, but it sounds great. I kept it mostly stock, just straight pipes (stock resonators and cats in place, does not drone at all!), CAI's I made, euro fender liners and brake ducts, powerchip (wanted that top speed capability), zionsville radiator/fan and a ton of maintenance.

Beautiful car! I would love to get my hands on a m5er (especially an e28/e34 i6 one!).

Wow thats nuts. I'm not surprised BMW would do that. We had some bad dealings with them as well! Never again..

Closed road in Colorado. It was 188 on GPS.

Took me a long time to bring her back as she is very finnicky when it comes to setting up but the drive is really something else. I take me shoes off because different ones cause me to drive differently, always a different feel. She gives so much feedback you begin to notice things like that.

Engine braking is phenominal as well.

A peak under her skirt....



It was 96 degrees in the shade. Before any speed mods, just somewhat mechanically sound

That's not a time capsule. It clearly has had a lot of updates. Front low beams, high beams, and fogs are not original. E-brake handle is not original. I suspect the 6-spd is not original. And I think the paint has been messed with. I thought all E34 M5s had the anthracite contrasting paint on the bottom. I know the '93s did.

A beautiful car, but not a time capsule. Much like my wife's '86 944.

Very nice car, but the trim and door handles painted to match just throws me off. Interior looks very clean, though.

I should have just called it a nice looking car I guess, I was really speaking to the condition of interior/exterior - not the updated wheels/lights/etc. Either way I dig it!
