A LEGEND, PERFECTED
The E34 M5 3.8 was the final and most powerful iteration of the E34 M5 line, produced in limited numbers with its engine hand-assembled by a single technician. The 'Nürburgring Package' (option M591) was a factory-developed handling kit, created to optimise the car for high-speed stability and track prowess, making it one of the most focused and capable performance sedans of its time.
EXTERIOR: A STUDY IN 90S PERFORMANCE AESTHETICS
Resplendent in the period-iconic and highly desirable Daytona Violet, this M5’s exterior is the result of a significant body restoration undertaken in the UK in 2020. The work was comprehensive, involving the stripping of the vehicle body, rust repair, and a full repaint, alongside the replacement of the bootlid, front wings, and offside quarter panels with genuine BMW parts. The car now rides on a set of rare, seller-sourced and perfectly restored OEM 18" BBS Style 5 wheels—sandblasted, with gold-painted centers and diamond-cut lips—shod in modern Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. The distinctive and stylish period-correct "French Headlights" with yellow lenses provide the final, authentic touch to this classic’s commanding presence.
CABIN: A TIME-WARP SPORTS SALOON INTERIOR
The interior is a highlight, specified from the factory with the celebrated and visually striking "M Hurricane" multi-coloured cloth upholstery—a far rarer and more driver-focused option than leather. The cabin is a testament to BMW's driver-oriented philosophy of the era, equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control, a sunroof, on-board computer, and full power accessories. It is accompanied by its original warning triangle, complete toolkit, spare wheel, owner’s literature, and a spare key, speaking volumes to its complete and cared-for life.
MECHANICAL: A SORTED, INVESTMENT-GRADE UNDERSIDE
At its heart lies the legendary, naturally aspirated 3.8-litre ‘S38B38’ inline-six, a 3,795cc engine delivering 335 bhp (247 kW) in its final European-specification, channeled purely to the rear wheels through a precise five-speed manual gearbox. Since its arrival in Hong Kong, the current owner has embarked on an obsessive, three-year, step-by-step undercarriage restoration. This project has seen large areas of the underbody, including the rear subframe, differential, control arms, and axles, professionally removed, sandblasted, and ceramic coated to a like-new standard. A vast array of new and restored components have been fitted, including a new short-shifter, suspension mounts and bushings, wheel bearings, a restored self-levelling system, a refurbished Servotronic steering box, a new clutch, catalytic converter, and comprehensive rust-proofing. This represents an immense investment, effectively addressing any and all concerns typical of a classic of this age.
CLASSIC INSIDER ASSESSMENT
We quantify condition where others merely describe. Our score of 77/100 reflects a car that is mechanically superb and exceptionally honest, with an exterior that presents well but with the character of a loved and used classic.
Exterior (70/100): The UK restoration has provided a solid, largely rust-free foundation. The Daytona Violet paintwork presents well but shows imperfections and bubbling commensurate with its age and use, not as a showpiece but as a driven modern classic.
Interior (80/100): The iconic 'M Hurricane' cloth interior is in very good, honest condition for its age and mileage. There are slight signs of wear and discolouration, but the cabin remains a fantastic and preserved environment that enhances the car's authentic character.
Mechanical (90/100): This is the car's strongest attribute. The extensive and documented UK service history and MOT records are complemented by a transformative mechanical and undercarriage restoration in Hong Kong. The investment made ensures this M5 drives with a structural integrity and mechanical sharpness that is simply unparalleled for a road-going example.
