In Reply to: Drove E28 M5 today, My thoughts............ posted by Brad in NC on April 28, 2002 at 19:39:22:

...this car might need some work done to it. I've owned 2 E28's prior to my M5 and I can tell you the difference SHOULD BE drastically noticeable between an M5 and a non-M5 E28. If it's not, me thinks it might need some TLC (not to be confused with TCD, TDC or AC/DC!) and with that kind of mileage, I'd be a little leary of it.

Just my $.02...again (I guess that would make it $.04 then, huh?).

'88 M5


Went to drive 88 M5 today to refamiliarize myself with the S38. I do not know if it was just me or what, plus I did not have my car to get right back in for the side by side comparison, but it did not impress me. The car that I drove definately needed the valves adjusted, sounded like a typewriter they were so loud.Maybe it needed a tuneup, and the last one I drove had a big $$ rebuild with chip and exhaust but this one did not impress me. I think my car pulls harder, definately handles better. This car seemed "heavy" and sluggish compared to my car. Is it just me or what?
