Euroflared: 1993 BMW M5 Euro-spec 3.8L Widebody Conversion

After the last E34 M5 I wrote up sold for $56,000 - we thought it might be best to kick it down a notch and look at the lower end of the gray-market Euro import 3.8L market with this next feature. The E34 M5 was produced from 1989 through 1995, with the last three model years not sold in the New World. From 1991 to 1995 the Euro-spec M5 included the forbidden fruit S38B38 engine, an enlarged and de-distributored version of the 3.6L version our cars came with. Out of the 14,754 E34 M5s produced in total, 45% were the 3.8L variety - however, they are much more scarce than that here in the 'States. Find this 1993 BMW E34 M5 3.8L for sale in the San Gabriel Valley, CA for $17,000 via craigslist.

10k Flash: Buy Stock in Silver: 1991 BMW E34 M5

Every once in a while we will put down the keyboards after a few paragraphs and leave the verbosity 'till next time; whether it's intentional or out of necessity. Unfortunately this DT Flash posting is in the latter category because there is only one picture included in the ad. But hey, what a nice picture. If you're looking for a semi-rare, well built, fast and unique 4-door sedan then we have to recommend looking at a BMW M5 of the E34 generation. The E28 was the Ur-M5 and may be more of a driver's car, but the E34 is a more modern, more powerful 'bahnstormer that is currently at the bottom of its depreciation curve. I recommend buying stock in the ultimate E34 (silver in this case) and considering an investment in this sharp and well maintained 1991 BMW M5 here on craigslist in San Mateo, CA for $9788.
