The 1988 BMW M5 is finished in Black with a Tan interior. Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter S38 inline-six paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Hand-built and derived from BMW's motorsport engineering, this legendary sports sedan delivers sharp throttle response, balanced handling, and one of the purest analog driving experiences of its era. Exterior features include Black paint, factory BBS-style wheels finished in silver, original body styling, classic understated performance sedan proportions, and preserved period-correct presentation. Inside, the cabin offers Tan leather upholstery, low-mileage preserved condition, complete original interior components, premium comfort, and traditional BMW driver-focused ergonomics. Additional features include four-wheel disc brakes, factory-spec drivetrain presentation, rear-drive dynamics, collectible first-generation M5 significance, and timeless enthusiast appeal. The 1988 BMW M5 delivers a rare combination of motorsport-bred inline-six performance, manual-transmission engagement, and iconic BMW sports sedan heritage.

Field Notes

What our customers say

George Bailey
📍 Chattanooga, TN

I bought a 2023 Land Rover Defender 110 X-Dynamic SE and the experience was excellent. The vehicle arrived clean, solid, and ready to drive. Athens Auto Auction made the process easy and professional.

Curtis Adams
📍 Mobile, AL

I bought a 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and could not be happier with the purchase. The vehicle was clean, powerful, and exactly what I expected from the listing. Athens Auto Auction gave me a great deal.

Dillonjames Atkinson
📍 Orlando, FL

I purchased a 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS and had a very positive experience. The car arrived safely, looked excellent, and the process was much easier than I expected. Great auction and great result.

Wesley “Wes” Warford
📍 Memphis, TN

Athens Auto Auction gave me a fair deal and the vehicle came in the condition I expected. The photos and description helped me make a decision. I would buy here again, especially if I find another good auction price.

Pablo Badillo
📍 Raleigh, NC

This was my first time buying from Athens Auto Auction. I was a little nervous at first, but the vehicle arrived safely and in good condition. There were a few small things to figure out during the process, but nothing major.

dustin mccullough
📍 Pensacola, FL

I purchased a 2025 Ford F-150 Raptor and the truck arrived looking great. It was exactly the kind of vehicle I wanted, and the auction price made it even better. Very satisfied with the experience.

Crystal Lawhon
📍 Marietta, GA

Very good auction experience. I liked the vehicle selection and the prices were competitive. My vehicle arrived in good running condition and looked close to the listing. I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.

Zachariah Engelhardt
📍 Macon, GA

I am very satisfied with my purchase. The vehicle looked good in the photos and arrived in the same condition I expected. The process was simple, the pricing was fair, and I would buy here again.

Araceli Delgado
📍 Charleston, SC

This was a smooth transaction from beginning to end. The auction was easy to follow, the final price was fair, and the vehicle arrived without any major problems. I would recommend Athens Auto Auction to friends.

Fadi Nasori
📍 Warner Robins, GA

The whole process was clear and professional. I found the vehicle I wanted, placed my bid, and everything after that was handled well. The car arrived in good condition and has been driving great.

Robert N
📍 Columbia, SC

I purchased a 2024 Ram 3500 Big Horn and the truck arrived in solid condition. My only issue was that the caller I spoke with did not seem very familiar with some of the auction details, so I had to ask for clarification more than once. The final result was good, but support could be stronger.

Gloria Valdovinos
📍 Jacksonville, FL

Good experience overall. The vehicle was represented fairly and arrived without any major surprises. I appreciated that the price stayed clear through the process. I would recommend Athens Auto Auction to buyers who understand auction purchases.
