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.

Gary

[S14]

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.

This black interior M5 is discussed in the M5 forum as a wreck in San Antonio TX. 11/11

Just to try to keep track of any black on black I am listing the VIN here.

Ask one of the Beamters to Sticky it, M535i is.

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...

[tschultz]

Was your car a black interior swap??

Be sure to add it to the BMW M registry anyway!

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.

[M5BB]

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?

Gary

[John SCB]

I knew right away it was the M5 recently on e-bay, although the buyer did not provide any details of how he picked it up.

PM sent.

[1st 5er]

This one is now in my possession.

[1st 5er]

But... before you get too excited., this is the way I got it home.




It has been added to The Registry as WBSDC930XJ2875206 DEAD

[M5BB]

Thanks for posting.

I often wonder how many of the 30 are still left.

I don't have a Carfax account but always wanted to run all the numbers and see what came up?

Gary

[1st 5er]

The plan is to keep his back half on the road as a grill/smoker.

Down here we like meaty meets.

Life goal accomplished, finally able to enjoy an E28 M5. Although I did not set out to find a bb, that is the one that was for sale on the west coast.

In good shape, not a perfect car, but well cared for, doing a little sorting out, post pics when done.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for contacting me. Always good to know another M5 is in good hands and especially a black interior car with an owner named Gary.
Yes, 231 manufactured 11/9/87.
I will add you to the list.
Is the car also registered on the M Registry?
Yes it is I just looked. You can email the owner of the site RC, and tell him you are the new owner and he will give you access to change the owner info.

Just picked up US spec Black on Black M5 VIN WBSDC9307J2875230 sourced from NM (discussed on other for sale threads earlier this year) - nice car. One thing I'm surprised at is the blue rear parcel shelf - is this typical or a warning sign of some sort perhaps?

[M5BB]

Great to hear of another car.
Yes, a blue rear parcel shelf is a little strange.
Could be someone ruined the original with speaker install or it warped.
Should be black like everything else.

Would you please send me the complete VIN and your name and location?
Like to add you to the list.

Some photos would be nice?

Gary

[dsmith]

It's pretty standard that the black parcel shelves fade to blue. You'll have to redye.

looks like this?

Guess my car has never seen enough sun for that to happen. Didn't think it would fade that bad.

Yes that pic looks like my parcel shelf color..I'll stop worrying about it.

Hello all. This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for years. After a year of searching, a decade of considering and a couple decades+ of longing, I finally picked up an e28 M5. I really only wanted a black on black, so feel lucky to have found one. Along the way, I've enjoyed an S54 M Coupe, 1994 E500 and now an RS4 as my DD (well, now wife's DD).

The car is in good shape, but definitely shows its 173K miles. I already have some new parts with more on the way. The (very) cracked dash is probably the highest cosmetic priority. The engine pulls strong, but I think I need to adjust the idle. Mechanically, I will likely replace all of the control arms and bushings, many of which are visibly shot. There's a very bad driveline noise under load, which I need to address. Finally, I'm not a fan of the B&B cat-back exhaust and will likely replace it with OEM if I can get my hands on one of the remaining systems.

The forum has already helped me fix my passenger seat motor. I'm sure I will learn a lot more as I get into it.

Best,
