If I remember right, the '85 m5 was putting down close to 300hp.

Euro spec M5 286. Sadly, the U.S. version only 256.

You have to consider the time period. Still fun cars to drive, even today.

Oh, man! I have been looking at these Shark noses for the last few years and particularly the M version. Almost pulled the trigger on one right before I snatched up the Ferrari. Dang it! These early BMWs are such a hoot with the 5 speeds. If this had one, I’d be all over it like cheap in-law to a free dinner! Just my views, but the automatic just takes all the fun out it for my liking. Can’t beat the originality and look of this one though....try and find another!!

It’ll go fast!!

Cheers
Dave

Dave: You can always swap in a 5 speed. I have converted 6 Bimmers from Auto to 5 speed; including the 745i that I have now.

If you have all the parts lined up, it is a weekend project for me. I am guessing just a long lunch for you.

Ha! True, Lynn. But that’s the last thing I need is another project. Although this is a pretty sweet car!

Man.....decisions......

Cheers

Thanks for the continued convo here gents... Update from our side is that we took about 150 photos for Bring A Trailer and are in talks now for our final submission! We also found the original window sticker and sales agreement. We have about 25 service receipts from the original owner as well.

Dave - this e24 would be a great addition to your diverse collection. We had it out this weekend and enjoy care free cruising. I agree with you on the manual transmission and we even investigated swap kits but we don't have the heart to modify this one. It needs to go to someone who will enjoy it as-is.

Thanks,
Dan

I couldn’t agree with you more, Dan! A car like this doesn’t need to be modified. Yes, it’s not an M or anything overly special so modding it wouldn’t be a real crime. But it’s unmolested, well taken care of, Lots of paperwork, and that in itself DOES make it overly special to remain as-is and driven by someone that will enjoy it!

She’s a beauty and thanks for giving us all a shot at it first!

Cheers
Dave

Hey Dave, BAT is in the works... we’re waiting on docs from NY DMV which has been on lock down since the pandemic started. eBay is just some cheap marketing until DMV resumes normal operations.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Dan
