Comments from the seller
1990 BMW E34 M5 3.6 Manual | 128,000 km | Australian Delivered | Extensive History and presented in excellent condition.
This is a carefully maintained and highly usable example of BMW’s hand-built E34 M5. It has been refreshed with an emphasis on reliability, originality and driving enjoyment, and is ready to use and enjoy rather than requiring a program of deferred age-related work.
Approximately five to six years ago, the car underwent a substantial refurbishment program through Motorline BMW in Brisbane, following a period of storage by the previous owner. Supporting records form part of the car’s extensive maintenance history. It has continued to receive preventative maintenance and rectification work as required.
Significant work includes:
Cooling system refreshed, including a new water pump and radiator. Cooling hoses and drive belts renewed.
Timing-chain tensioner replaced.
Self-Levelling Suspension comprehensively attended to and properly sorted.
New electric wiring harness.
All major equipment and electrical systems functioning correctly.
Excellent interior condition.
Extensive maintenance history and supporting records.
Ceramic paint protection and window tinting.
Air con refrigerant conversion to R134a.
This is not an E34 M5 being sold with a list of jobs for the next owner. It has no known faults requiring attention and has been maintained to remain reliable, mechanically sorted and enjoyable to drive.
At 128,000 km, it combines sensible mileage with the benefit of regular use and substantial preventative maintenance. It presents as an excellent enthusiast’s car, rather than a restoration project or a low-use example carrying unresolved age-related issues.
The right buyer will know all about the E34 M5: a hand-built, naturally aspirated straight-six performance sedan with a five-speed manual gearbox, hydraulic steering and a direct mechanical character, from the era when BMW was all about being the ultimate driving machine.
For an enthusiast seeking an Australian-delivered E34 M5 to own, drive and enjoy, this car offers a compelling combination of condition, mileage, provenance and documented maintenance.
The car is priced to reflect its condition, kilometres and the substantial work already completed.
I am happy to answer genuine questions, discuss the car in detail and provide further photographs or maintenance information to prospective buyers who are seriously considering purchase.
Inspections are welcome by appointment. An independent inspection by a BMW specialist is encouraged. Reasonable discussion regarding price is welcome with a genuine prospective purchaser, preferably following inspection.
