Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1988 BMW M5, a US-market example, presents with 188k miles and a history in California since new. While featuring desirable upgrades like European headlights and a Conforti ECU chip, it also shows signs of wear including cosmetic flaws and some mechanical issues needing attention.
Condition

The car has some cosmetic and mechanical issues. Cosmetically, there are scrapes on the front spoiler, a cracked dashboard with a cap on it, and a loose shifter boot. Mechanically, various suspension bushings need replacement, the starter intermittently does not work, and there's a leaking transmission shifter shaft seal. These issues suggest moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning.
