AI Listing Summary
This 1988 BMW M5, one of 1,340 North American examples, is finished in black over Natur leather and powered by a 3.5-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Recent work includes drivetrain and suspension maintenance; the car shows 59k miles with a mileage inconsistency noted on the Carfax report.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in overall solid condition with slight wear visible in paint, interior, or wheels. There is mention of paintwork having been carried out on the right-rear quarter panel and the upper portion of the right-front door under prior ownership. Also the driver-seat headrest adjuster does not work. This suggests that while the car is well-maintained, it does have some cosmetic and minor mechanical issues, which places it in the Very Good category.
