Buyer-facing read on this listing
1988 BMW M5 Base. Sedan. 173091
Price sits close to the current comparable average, so the decision will come down to condition, provenance, and how complete the file is.
Photo coverage is reasonably deep at 6 images, which helps with judging cosmetics and seller transparency before leaving VINthusiast.
Documentation still reads thin here, so this is the kind of listing where invoice detail and specialist history should drive the next round of diligence.
