This one, which is currently up for sale on Collecting Cars, has driven enough miles to reach the moon and it\u2019s not only still running, it\u2019s running well.<\/p>\n<p>The E28 M5 was built when M cars were still hand assembled at the Garching plant in Germany and the quality of its build is evident. Even as they get older, E28 M5s don\u2019t look worn or tired, they just gain character. This one isn\u2019t perfect, nor is it all original\u2014it has an aftermarket stereo and speakers\u2014but it\u2019s a lovely, lived-in car that has done exactly what it was built to do for decades.

Back in the late \u201980s, it was the fastest sedan the world had ever seen and, after 100 mph, it would give a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/08\/22\/bmw-m4-convertible-porsche-911-cabriolet\/\"> Porsche 911<\/a> a hard time. In fact, the only reason the 911 was faster to 60 mph was because it was lighter. The M5\u2019s engine was stronger and more technologically advanced. Remember, the original M88 engine was built for the BMW M1, so the M5\u2019s version was very much motorsport derived.<\/p>\n<p>It also still looks great today. Its sharknose grille, perfect Hofmeister Kink, and classic three-box shape make it the best looking M5 in history, to these eyes. Whoever buys this car is going to have an incredible classic to own for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Driving A Moon Miles BMW (E28) M5\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qEgw_PT-DFs?start=57&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADVERTISEMENT I sort of hate the phrase \u201cthey don\u2019t make \u2019em like they used to.\u201d For the most part, things are made better now than they ever were.
