I am the owner. I want to clear up some confusion in the comment section as to why there are new tires on the car. Before I reached out to RJ, I was going to try and do the job myself. The tires that were on the car were completely flat and the car was sitting on the wheels. I put the car on jack stands, removed the wheels and had new tires installed. After that , I found WD Detailing and decided to let them work their magic! Great guys/very professional!

[@hasansacan203]

Know the value of this car. Even if you don't like it, put it aside. Your grandchildren will pray for you in the future.

[@habsom1406]

OPENYD You're one lucky dude to own such a beautiful classic. Would love to see a video on the start up of this car, hear the sound of that 24valve straight six and see it being driven on the road. RJ did a fantastic job, super thorough, but then the foundation was good to start with being a well cared for un-abused example which looks to be fully loaded. The price of these cars is going through the roof, hope you start enjoying it again..

[@WieDrDerJonge]

Next time put the front jackstands under the right spot....😉

You able to get it running yet? Making a video on it?

How ironic. I also bought my e28 m5 in 1998, and still own. Like him, I was blown away the first time I saw one new in 1988. Instantly it became the car I had to have "one day". Bought mines at East Bay Bmw in Pleasanton Ca for 11k in 1998. Great job filming this special car!

[@makosasimakis118]

The best detailing video so far . So much comfort , luxury and technology for such an old car . BMW quality and engineering proved itself through this video !

[@as680783]

I love the fact we see more than a few seconds of the owner's reactions on your videos. It's great to hear their thoughts and anecdotes about the cars.

[@Ky1ey]

Love it, awesome job it literally came out looking like new. Love the story of the car too, hope he gets it cranked up!!

[@WDDetailing]

Thank you! We’ll keep you guys updated on it

[@johnwalters878]

IMHO, the e28 was the last of the great BMWs. I drove the heck out of my 524td. Although not a popular one, it was rare and the diesel performed remarkably well and got 40 mpg. Sold it at 280k, and the last count before I lost track was 400k. All the materials are extremely durable and easy to clean. Never any surprises.

[@DEBISOUNDPRO]

I can't understand, how do you keep a historic and important car like this in a garage by abandoning it, you guys are great not only to have found it but to have done such a job wow wow wow wow

[@gde7207]

Both beautiful and highly desirable and coveted BMWs . Glad he kept them for his children to enjoy . Would love to see him post some more videos of both of these cars . Great job guys

[@EricArthur-di5pp]

1988 e28 M5. The only year for import to the US. Import numbers were somewhere between 800 and 900 units. All were black exterior w/tan leather interiors. Except a few that had a black interior. Excellently balanced. It handled well on the track. And it was surprisingly quick for the day.

[@MegaKingTom]

One of my friends old neighbor drives one daily. He bought it brand new. He moved a couple years ago. He was still driving it

[@sebastianm.8383]

the beige interior is more than sensitive, to have this brought back to closely new condition deserves respect, good job !

[@s8rut]

Fantastic job, and a fantastic car, how they are spoiled by the Federal bumpers. European versions are so much improved with the slimmer, as BMW intended ones.

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

Totally agree. Those bumpers ruin the look of the car

[@pmscalisi]

Can you still get a Euro bumper kit for these? I had purchased some for my ‘86 E30.

[@joshualaw375]

Unpopular opinion I know but I think the USDM bumpers of that era look great. Not a pretty design but definitely funky and symbolic of the times.

[@abro9598]

I like my US bumpers. Not many of us around like the M5. Wink wink.

[@Bimmerbros3]

Awesome video and great detailing but one thing our shop found with old euros is a good hand wash is preferred as pressure washers blow water past mirror and window seals and can cause a fair amount of water ingress.

[@bmw128racer]

I agree.

[@joeproctor2216]

My first car was a 1982 528e. Straight 6 with the stick. It wasn't a hotrod, but for a punk 16 year old it was the best. I've had many cars since but it is still my favorite.

[@reinaldodombueno9276]

only tops, only classics, wow!!! congratulations!!!

[@olafhermans]

thanks for getting this classic back on its feet

[@Leo-DaGreek]

My first BMW was a Black 1981 320i 5 speed . Gold BBS wheels with low Folda tires black out windows, front air dem, rear spoiler . I used to love cruzing and detailing it .1986..💰

[@lecobra418]

Nice detailing, I love what the owner said about the first time he saw the car on the street: "someday". I feel the same about the 67' impala, someday I'll have one.

[@michaeldicarlo5540]

Now that is some good old school paint

[@vinceruland9236]

To me, that is the sickest body style of BMW ever. What a sweet ass car!!

[@leed5590]

Wow that paintwork came up a treat 😉

[@occultustactical6138]

The black paint did clean up nicely. It helps when it’s out of the weather.

Absolutely amazing condition.

[@rickharris4579]

Best detail you guys have ever done!!!!

[@purpletrance9874]

Great clean. Someone's probably said it already, but you corrected the paint with compound but what did you use afterwards to protect it? I didn't see a wax or ceramic coating stage.

what did you use for polishing i mean pads and pastes? and what gear did you work on?

[@Jack96993]

Hey l owned a 1988 E28 M5 back on black ( Canadian car) back in the early nineties l love that it has single stage black paint from the factory l had mine doing very close to 150 mph and the car just hunkered down and got along with the business at hand. For North American, l'm pretty sure it was one year only production in 1988 It was the fastest production sports sedan at the time.

[@mds2465]

Yeah unfortunately with these older Bimmers that are equipped with the Bosch jetronic fuel injection system, which I'm pretty sure this one is, if it sits for any prolonged and extended length of time like this one has, he’s going to have to replace the wholesale fuel system because it's all going to be trashed. That is not a cheap endeavor unfortunately, most places charge about $3k for that job, just to get it running. But it is definitely worth it on this car because it's such a classic icon of the era. I’m glad to hear that it's going to be back on the road again.

[@simoncorr9544]

No, E28 M5s have Motronic M1.0 not Jetronic.

1986. ‘86, ‘87 and’88 are my favorite years for BMW.

[@jeadie2273]

Hello from Westlake….I’d say it’s an 86 based on the 3rd brake light….those came out in late 85 as standard on all cars in the US. BTW, met someone who was a patient of mine a few weeks ago who knows you guys well. Said something big was about to happen. I asked if you were as genuine in person as you appear on video and she said “absolutely…and then some”. Weird how the conversation came up and how I found out she knew this KZbinr car detailer…..I showed her a video and said “you mean these guys?” We both had a good laugh. Glad to hear things are going well for you guys.

[@WDDetailing]

That’s awesome haha! Tell her we say thank you for the compliment :) super cool how that came up

[@bshingledecker]

I'm surprised you did this inside the garage. That body style ran from 81-88 I think, with M5 from 85-88. This was when BMW was in their prime IMO. Phenomenal Job BTW. Too bad Harvey Rogers is not around to revive this mechanically. (mention to the owner, he might remember Harv and the BMW CCA)

[@RickGTI2019]

What a great job. What a great video. What a lucky owner. I want the car, now. LOL. Thanks for sharing. RickGTI

[@heymikeyhelikesit8673]

There's a reason that these cars had NO CUPHOLDERS. They are not a restaurant cubicle. Both hands on the wheel unless you are shifting. Hungry or thirsty? Get out of the M5 and go into the restaurant. Mine had 105,000 miles on it when I sold it to a guy who was checking it out when I was working the course at a SCCA Autocross. Classified in the G Stock class with Mustang GTs, Z28 IROC Camaros and Pontiac Trans AMs. It was priceless to see their faces when they found out it was only a 3.5 liter six. I would tell them what their cars needed was more doors. ;-)

[@zekelucente9702]

My guess is this is a mid 80’s M5. I had that same Audiovox car phone back in the day.

[@Andrew4181975]

The First and Best of the M5s. You could have it in any color you wanted ,as long as, it was black and they only sold them (in the US) for one model year 1988. That car needs a new home. The mechanicals are probably in need of attention too. A buddy of mine has one and it is rough on the outside,but it has it where it counts and I love driving it.
