First‑ever M5 and a New Segment
The BMW M5 E28 was produced from the end of 1984 and presented to the press in early 1985, making it the inaugural model of a previously unknown type of high‑performance executive sedan.
Limited Production Makes It Rare
Only 2,241 E28 M5s were built for worldwide consumption, and production ended nearly 20 years ago, contributing to the scarcity of original equipment parts today.
Right‑Hand‑Drive Launch and Unique Wheels
Right‑hand‑drive versions of the M5 began production in March 1986, and as standard they featured larger 7 × 16‑inch cross‑spoke wheels that set them apart from the standard E28 models.
