That's great Eric.
Yes, I remember this as Chris G car.
Can you give me a last name and I'll put you on the list.
Nobody's going to bother you.
I am coming out to CS Labor Day weekend to see an ailing Aunt & Uncle. I was born in Denver and have relatives all over CO.
Love to see the car if your around.

That'd be great Gary!
I'd love for you to take it for a spin and tell me what you think of the car. It seams to drive... different... from my 3.8L E34 M5.

I thought they might do that but might not be important enough for a permanent spot. And a very narrow audience.

Patrick,
You never opened the PM I sent you?
This is what I sent almost a month ago. 8/8/12
Patrick,
Thanks for sending your name and VIN but I'm afraid this may be a Canadian car or an interior swap.
All the 30 Black on Black cars VINs start with
2875XXX. Manuf 11/87
Look in the drivers side door jam. There should be a sticker with the manuf date and the country.
Thanks,
Gary

I just bought an e28 M5 with black interior and VIN WBSDC9304J2791091, but the production date is 01/1987. Does that make sense to anyone? Also, I'm posting a thread regarding my SLS suspension. Please check it out if you can help. Thanks everyone in advance and I'm happy to be part of the club...

Just added it to the registry. I bought the car from a dealer in Minnesota, so maybe it's Canadian? Also, I found some paperwork that has an interior trim code of 0237 which I think is natur.

Great to hear from you.
I to think this is a Canadian car.
This is a VIN from a 2/87 Canada car.
WBSDC9304J2791205
Look in the door jam for the manuf plate. Should say Canada.
Thanks for the posting and saving another M5.

Interesting that there is no mention of the aftermarket side skirts or rear apron.

Car did not meet the reserve at $16600.
We'll see if it gets relisted. Some zero bidders which is just a joke.

I met the buyer of this car today at Cars n Coffee in Irvine. He has all the original paperwork. Looks like it was owned by someone in Sherman Oaks (John Armstrong, possibly the original owner?), then bought last year. Quick flip. It needs some attention to detail but overall not a bad looking car. I told him to check out our board. He's new to E28's...go easy on him.

So John did this car sell outside of eBay?
It never reached the reserve, twice.
Thanks for letting me know.
Hope I'll hear from the new owner?
