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....😉

[@braydenweber6432]

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

[@openyd6368]

The M5 recently exited the garage for the first time in years. New injectors were installed, some plugs were pulled and cleaned, and we fired her up. Purred like a kitten. I will try and make a video to share with everyone who was hoping to see her back on the road.

[@ViDiaz]

Very curious to see how that M5 purrs... Thanks for keeping us updated!

Growing up my dad had a Ford Granada with tan vinyl seats. We lived on a farm and with the car not having a/c the windows were always down. Over the years the seats got really dirty and got to the point they were no longer tan. When I was 11 or 12 I decided to try to clean the seats and pretty much the only thing under the sink was good ole comet. With a bucket of water and comet I brought the seats back to looking new. I wouldn’t recommend using comet, but I knew nothing about how to clean seats, but it worked great.

[@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 !

[@tcat0211]

I had the same black/tan combo on my 87 325i. BMWs from that era truly deserved the "Ultimate Driving Machine" title. Light, nimble, joy to drive and reliable to boot. They sure don't make em like that anymore. Great job! Btw

[@noelaguirre7104]

Year 88, I would absolutely daily drive that car for the rest of my life, art on wheels.

[@omgneal7016]

I got hungry when I saw that one piece of Honeycomb cereal in the back seat around the 10:00 mark.

[@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.

[@PAULOHENRIQUE-fy2ic]

your videos are spectacular congratulations Paulo Henrique de oliveira

[@Claudio6538]

Congratulations, excellent work!!!!

[@charlestatem3099]

Wow! That turned out amazing. Great job! Thanks Doc for hooking these guys up.

[@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.

[@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.

[@abro9598]

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!

[@moalleboanne]

I owned a M5 3,5 with 286 hp simular to this one , mine his from 1986 and has black leather interior. I love these cars from BMW.M5 and M6 in Europe the are very expansive. Love your channel 👌🏻👍🏻 . Regarts from Holland 🇳🇱.

[@sebastianm.8383]

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

[@obsidian00]

Great video, beautiful job on one of the all time GREATS!!! I chuckled when I saw the NEXTEL ball cap in the trunk!

[@osamaabf5836]

This is 1985-1986 model and it is not a abandoned, it is just dusty not washed, the tiers are very new, and that is the best way to store cars in dusty way for protection from sunlight and scratches.

[@Burgral]

True that

[@tlhuerth]

And to prevent mold to build up leave at least one window slightly open. Humidity can escape from the interior on warm days and this will make it harder for mold to grow

[@Smartychase]

True that is not an abandoned car

[@cflwhat]

They probably threw new tires (if you look those tire are BRAND NEW) on it before getting it detailed so they could roll it around... I'm betting the old tires wouldn't hold air, or at least it's a far more logical assumption than anything you said 🤣... This car has sat for 10+ years.... That's abandoned sorry bud.

[@minshiau4751]

非常有愛 非常經典！ 謝謝你們的用心。

[@seanjenkins8750]

Fantastic video guys.

[@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.

[@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

You should buy some normal European bumpers for this beauty. Great car, great 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.

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.

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.

[@jekx6770]

Does ozone kill mild so it won’t come back or just neutralize it and it’s still there just dead and not smelly? Maybe a dumb question but until I got into car detailing I’d never known cars would mood so easily over time I never thought about it I guess. I know moisture will cause mood but even the dry cars have had mild on them
