This 1992 BMW M5 Touring is powered by a 3.8-liter DOHC inline-six and reportedly belonged to a member of the Renault F1 team before being acquired by the selling dealer. The previous owner modified the car with upgraded fuel injectors, Brembo front brakes, modified rear brakes, an aftermarket camshaft, and a stainless steel exhaust system. A November 2017 service conducted by Munich Legends included replacing the gearbox output and selector seals, along with replacing a differential input shaft seal, checking the power steering system, installing a new M5 badge on the tailgate, a compression test, and installing new lower door moldings all around. This E34 M5 is now being offered with a clean New Jersey Title.

The car was previously offered for sale on BaT in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom though was recently imported to the United States by the seller. The finish is thought to be Diamond Black Metallic, and the seller notes some rust below the doors that is pictured in the gallery below. New lower door molding were installed all around, and the aftermarket exhaust tips can be seen in the image above.

The factory 17″ Style 21 wheels wear staggered width Michelin Pilot Sport tires up front and Bridgestone Potenzas out back. The seller reports that the front brakes have been modified with 345mm Brembo discs and four-piston calipers. The rear brakes were also reportedly upgraded using Porsche 944S four-piston calipers and Porsche 928S4 discs.

All gauges are reported to function as they should, and an aftermarket radio has been installed. Features include M-Tech cloth seats and door panel inserts, along with an M shift knob and a three spoke steering wheel. The digital odometer shows 254,345 kilometers (~157,421 miles) and is believed by the seller to be accurate.

The S38 inline-six was rated at 335 hp from the factory and uses six individual throttle bodies. Modifications are said to include include F1 injectors and a camshaft that increased lift to 12mm. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox, and no service records are available.

A compression test was conducted on November 2017 by Munich Legends in East Sussex, United Kingdom with results shown above. Several videos of the car can be seen below, including a walk-around and engine idling. The turbine caps are removed in the videos.
