i want that 6 speed trannyALL e28 M5's came with 5 speeds, you're thinking e34...



Looks good. Any idea what kind of specs the old M5s have?Depends if it has the M88 or S38 engine in it...I think the euro model had the M88 out of the M635CSi and the US got the S38. If it is the M88 then it has just under 290hp w/ 250lbs-ft. torque. That's 30 more hp than the US m5 but both engines respond VERY well to boost. ;)

oh yeah, it needs wheels! Either E39 M5's, 740i M-parallels, or Alpina's.

OR some period correct BBS's...
