I remember as a kid in the early 90s driving through France with my dad. He had BMW from the same era. He saw an M5 behind us and pointed it out. I didn’t think anything of it, but I kept watching and then it just absolutely rocketed passed us! It was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen. I’ve been obsessed with them ever since!

With old cars in the manual for the car there were things like "to change the oil unscrew this cap" , "to maintain your transmission and dampers..." and they give you the tools to do it yourself But today i wouldn't be surprised if I find "the coolant liquid is not drinkable"

Best video in a while, I love it when you do the old stuff! Used to work on a lot of these in the UK back in the day. They didn’t come with stereos alarms and immobilisers, so we used to fit them for BMW. This has long been my favourite of all the M cars.

The Check button in the roof Check Control is not for checking the statuses of all those sensors. The respective light would light up automatically whenever a problem was discovered and stay on till solved. Instead the Check button was used to check that all the red lights still worked so that a broken light bulb would not mislead the driver to believe there wasn't a problem in that source because it didn't turn on.

The "mechanical stuff" trunk box is the battery location. It was moved there from a regular E28 front mount for better weight distribution. A neat feature. The additional button by the front window switches is for the driver to lock out the rear windows for children. The On Board Computer can also be operated directly by buttons for additional features. The Check Control will light up when there is an error, the Check button is just to test the bulbs. The Euro engine actually has 286HP. The US S38 is still derived from the M1 engine, it still has individual throttle bodies so is quite special. Rear headrests were optional on Euro spec cars, just decontented for the US.

The battery was also relocated to free space under the hood. Also, US cars used a 3.91 rear axle ratio (instead of the euro cars 3.73) to try to make up for the ~20% worse power to weight ratio of the NA car compared to the euro car. 3400 lbs/256 hp= 13.2 vs 3150 lbs/282 hp= 11.2. Euro cars had higher compression and used an equal length tubular header. US car had a cast iron exhaust manifold.

Good find sir. I remember driving one of these several years ago. I wasn't too impressed by the performance. I was expecting more. The owner said, "Come back and truly push the car."

Growing up just outside Toronto, my neighbor had one of these. He was a lovely gentleman from Quebec who spoke mostly French Canadian. He had a gold regular 5 series when he moved on to our street in 1986. He replaced that the following year with an M5 brought over from Europe to Quebec. It was somewhat common to find European cars in Quebec at that time. Now, I was always interested in cars as my dad was a car salesman but even back then I knew this car was something special. The bumpers on his car were much less intrusive and the car simply looked sinister. All black inside and out. I can't remember exactly what he did for a living, but he was much younger than my dad and we lived in the best neighborhood in town. And in those days, if you were French Canadian but the company decided to send you to Ontario to work... You were either a hockey player or a big deal. Claude had great taste and his wife was a total stunner. All this coming from my early teenage memory.

Insane to think this car is almost 40 years old!!!!

A friend's father owned one of these back in 1992... had the pleasure of riding in it through some excellent country roads. Stunning in every way! And was the reason in 1993 I bought an '86 E28 535i Exec. Not as fast, and automatic, but still amazing to drive, as the Australian version came with the M5 wheels (not the ones on the car in the video) and wheel arches.

A few more quirks: The versions without AC had different dashboards, they werent even tilted to the driver.

Love your channel also because of reviews like these! Awesome!!

One of my favorite m5's. E28's in general are one of the best bimmers for a more 'raw feel' driving experience. Makes me miss mine. Also owned an '83 533i that was my daily until a lady in a Ford exploder rear ended me doing like 40mph. As hard of a hit as it was the car still ran and drove the same! Didn't blow out any of the glass and both back doors still shut the same. That's a testament for how tough they are. mye28 folks are a good group of guys if you're interested in all things e28. That site and bf.c was my place to hang on the interwebz. LOL. Gotta love style 5's too. I had the 18" staggered set that I took apart and painstakingly polished, and added some fresh hardware to them. Put them on one of my e34 540/6 m-sports that I owned. Looked great on there, definitely a timeless wheel, as are most BBS.' Thanks for sharing. Clean example for sure! 👍👍💪✌️

Clean, understated and elegant. Man, what’s happened to BMW? This is just about peak BMW (for me, at least).

I had an '88 E28 535i, with Dinan, Racing Dynamics, and Metric Mechanic mods. Absolutely fantastic car! One of my favorite things about my E28 was the Cruise Control. One simple stalk, and you could essentially drive the car through that stalk, it was so smooth and as Doug says, so analog. The other great feature that Doug touched upon was the E28's outward visibility. Low beltline, tall roof, you could see the whole world which contributed so much to the driving experience.

I just had a convo yesterday on this being my favorite BMW.

I might be a little biased, due to the fact I own an E30 from the same era, but there’s nothing quite like the BMWs of the 1980‘s, timeless looks, a connected driving experience and just the looks on peoples faces when they see them rolling by. Videos like this make me appreciate my car even more than I do already, they don’t make them like they used to, I’d love to see more classic BMW reviews from Doug!

One of the last "ultimate driving machine" BMWs. Long before traction control, stability control etc too the driving outta the experience. I've had my M5 since the early 90s- back when it was just a used car. I was working at a BMW dealership & it was traded in. Still wearing original paint & looks great . Also scored a 1985 635csi when working there too. Both cars still get lotsa thumbs up on the road & they strike up conversations whenever I'm stopped or parked. During that era there was no mistaking it for anything else than a BMW. Now every model BMW has an "M" version- totally diluted down. They used to be rare & exclusive, not anymore.

I’m a BMW fan, for life! 🖤 fantastic review Doug, as always

Love the videos Doug. Keep it up👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💯

Awesome car and review Doug. Brings back memories of a neighbor's E28 (non M5) back in the early 1990s. Interesting how a 1980s BMW could let you know your tail light was out. My 1995 Avalon did the same, my 2002 Acura RL also did the same. Every newer car I've had since (most recently a 2016 CX5 and a 2014 Honda Crosstour) have lacked this important safety feature. Progress?

My Uncle had one of these new back in 1986 and still owns it and drives it to this day! It has 156000km (a bit over 96000 Miles) on it. Had quite a few backseat drives in this with my Cousin back in the early 1990s and it spared my Love for Cars! Now i'm gonna send this Video to my Uncle and ask him if he learned anything new about his Car from Doug! I will update this Post with his Response about if he learned something from Doug he didn't know owning this Car since 1986! Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

@@divinehatred6021 You got to keep in Mind how small Germany is compared to the USA. A Car with 100000km is considered "a lot" in Germany, which is about 62000 miles. But true to be fair, owning it since 1986, he definitely didn't daily it. Was more of his Fun car for Weekend Trips but not to and from Work

My friend’s brother had a 525e. BMWs of that era, particularly the 5 series, were magnificent.

Woweee Doug, you visibly had such a fun experience driving this tastefully modified E28 M5. Great review of an iconic, game-changing car PS: you should totally bid on it

The Euro versions were amazing. More power, as you said, but looked badass. The had tiny bumpers and a combination of 7 and 5 and 3/4 inch headlights. if you saw those lights on the autobahn that meant you should take your Peugeot out of the left lane.

Thanks John! Americans cannot understand how beatifull the original (!!! not the US version) really was. Sometimes you can see this car in Munich still. Also the 850... Now BMW, Mercedes, Audi, they all look the same.

Those were the days you can buy v12 7 series with stick

Beige two tone interior looks good and warm. All black interiors are painfully boring. It also doesnt look as dirty with some dust like black interiors do against common misconceptions.

Thank you for this video , true fans miss the old car reviews ❤️

12:00 I’m sure it’s because of the switch to R134a refrigerant systems in modern vehicles. I believe the use of old R22 is illegal now and it’s hard to find R22 recharge cans, so that upgrade makes sense (Edit: I meant R12, not R22)

It's use is not illegal, and it is very expensive to convert it to 134A the right way. New compressor, and you have to have the lines reproduced using hoses designed for 134A, called barrier hoses. They are plastic-lined, as the 134A will migrate right through unlined rubber hoses, and you will be topping it off every year. You also need to change the expansion valve, and you have to change the evaporator to a prrallel-flow type as 134A is less thermally efficient, meaning that a car such as the E28 whose A/C was not that powerful to begin with will cool less well. When My E28 gets back on the road, there will be good 'ol R12 in it.

Making money is an action.Keeping money is behavior,but"Growing money is wisdom"...I figured this out a week ago

Love these so much. The passion comes thru in spades doug. Also, love the e28....i miss this era. *sigh.

Glad u finally got to reviewing one :) ive reviewed mine a while back

Brutal scoring from Doug!

I ain't never ever seen a more beautiful look through on a car period.

Great review Doug

The way I get excited hearing there are “lots of quirks and features” 👏

@Doug Demuro: Nicely done. These early to late 80s BMWs are so much fun to drive. Even until their wheels fall off. These cars are meant to be pushed beyond hard.

Just got an 87 528e 5 speed. More then grateful I was able to find one.

Dear Doug, Always loved this car, which is the first ''proper' or 'official' definition of the M formula. The M5. Aside from the M1, the true beginning of the M cars was also the e12 535i Motorsport ... which is my personal favorite. Just one of the trio would be my perfect collection already ...
