This 1987 BMW 5 Series (E28) is a well raced, hugely competitive car well known in BMW circles, having featured in a plethora of magazines and articles. It's visually stunning with the iconic Jägermeister livery perfectly representing the nature of this car. This exceptional vehicle has undergone a remarkable transformation having started life as an E28 520i Lux (D758 SGK) and now fully built up into what you see today, with its E34 M5 S38 six-cylinder heart, tuned and tweaked to produced an impressive 360bhp. A beautiful blend of brute strength and stunning looks, it stands out from the crowd for all the right reasons. This automotive gem earned its stripes with a glorious 5-page feature in the January 2023 issue of Total BMW, solidifying its status as a standout in the world of high-performance cars. Notably, it graced the cover of the 2003 Silverstone BARC Championship Race day Programme and made further appearances in Total BMW (August 2004) and BMW Car Magazine (March 2017). Initially, after its conversion from a fairly uninspiring donor car to a proper racer, it was still able to wear a number plate and drive on the streets, however, it is no longer currently MOT'd or on the road and whilst it currently lacks road legality, its race/track-oriented features are nothing short of extraordinary. Externally, the BMW has a carbon fibre bonnet and boot-lid, 'Group 5' arches and all-steel panels, all fitting very well. With Gaz coil-overs, an E34 M5 LSD and enormous ET11 Wagner-Tuning two-piece, split-rims (9.5" x 16" fronts and 10.5" x 16" rears) wrapped in 245/45/16 and 265/45/16 tyres respectively, grip and traction are phenomenal. The car is powered by the later S38 E34 M5 engine and gearbox, boasting a 6,900rpm 'redline' and with a custom-made stainless steel exhaust system and upgraded engine management, we understand that power output is in the region of 360bhp. The interior is exceptionally well finished, especially for a race car, with a multi-point roll cage, custom Alcantara flocked dash, DigiDash 2 display, a Momo steering wheel and Corbeau bucket seats with 6-point TRS harnesses. Retardation is handled by 750iL brakes wearing EBC Orange Stuff pads and an Accusump oil reservoir prevents surge. The history file makes for very pleasant reading and features some build photos, a plethora of invoices over the years, every MOT for D758 SGK from 1994-2009 and all the magazines in which the car has been featured. A well documented and storied history, meticulously detailed, and built for the top A2 (over 3,601cc) class in Classic Thunder Cars, this 1987 BMW E28 M5 is running and driving beautifully, eligible for plenty of prestigious motorsport events and ready to compete once more.
