    ALL e28 M5's came with 5 speeds, you're thinking e34...

    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...
