1990 BMW M5 E34 Manual 3.6L | 262,822 km | Australian Delivered | Full Service History | Two Keys | Hand Built Icon
This 1990 BMW M5 E34 is a highly collectible, Australian delivered example of one of BMW’s most revered performance sedans. As BMW’s last hand built M car, the E34 M5 represents a landmark era in motorsport derived engineering, with only around 90 examples delivered new to Australia.
Powered by the legendary 3.6 litre naturally aspirated inline six derived directly from BMW Motorsport, producing approximately 233 kW, power is sent to the rear wheels via a five speed manual transmission, delivering a raw, engaging and analogue driving experience that modern performance cars simply cannot replicate.
Finished in Sebring Grey over a black extended leather interior, this example presents with excellent provenance, extensive documentation, and careful long term ownership.
With 262,822 km, this M5 has been regularly maintained, sympathetically upgraded, and preserved as an enthusiast owned vehicle rather than a neglected garage piece.
