A Once In A Generation Opportunity - The Ultimate Drivers Classic

---

*"In 34 years of handling the world's most coveted classic automobiles, rarely does a vehicle stop me in my tracks.

This one did. And when I tell you why - you will understand immediately."*

---

WHY THIS CAR IS DIFFERENT FROM EVERY OTHER E34 M5 ON THE MARKET TODAY

The E34 M5 is widely regarded as **the last true analogue super saloon.** No traction control. No driver aids.

Just **raw mechanical engineering, driver skill and one of the greatest engines ever conceived.

** Values have risen **over 200% in the last decade** and clean examples are becoming **increasingly and dangerously scarce.**

This is not nostalgia. This is **financial intelligence.**

--- THE VISUAL STATEMENT **Daytona Violet over White Leather.**

This is a car that does not ask for attention. It **commands it.** From every angle. In every light.

At every distance. There is not another E34 M5 on the market today wearing this combination. Not one.

✅ **Started First Time After 12 Years Storage - Says Everything About This Engine**

--- ## THE HONEST TRUTH - BECAUSE MY REPUTATION DEMANDS NOTHING LESS ##
- **Paintwork** will require a full professional respray - the vehicle has been stored under covers for 12 years

and blistering has occurred.

This is the primary work required

- **Colour** is not original factory specification - original colour was blue. The current owner commissioned the Daytona Violet

personally giving the new owner a **completely fresh canvas**

- **Passenger side catalytic converter has been stolen** - presenting the new owner with the straightforward option of an

**OEM replacement or a performance decat** - many collectors would consider this a welcome opportunity

- **Vehicle must be collected via recovery transport**

- **Documents:** V5 Logbook - Past MOT Certificates - Various Invoices

--- THE OWNERSHIP STORY **30 years. One owner. One vision.**
The rear seat tells its own story - **moved only once in 30 years** to jump start the vehicle. This is not a car that has been

abused or neglected.

This is a car that has been **understood, respected and preserved** by someone who knew exactly what they had.

The engine started **first time** after 12 years of careful covered storage. That single fact speaks louder than

any advertisement could.

--- THE INVESTMENT CASE - Standard E34 M5 3.6 currently £25,000 - £40,000 - The 3.8 6-speed manual commands £40,000 - £65,000 - Fully restored examples have achieved **£70,000 - £85,000** at auction - The E34 M5 market has risen 40% in the last 3 years alone PKZ 3800** - even the number plate was destined for this car.

Recommission this car properly and you are holding a **concours level E34 M5** in a colour combination that will never

fail to stop traffic - and never fail to **appreciate value.**

--- ❓ QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ### The Questions Every Serious Buyer Will Ask --- **Q: Why was the engine changed from the original 3.6 to the 3.8?**

A: The current owner upgraded the drivetrain to the superior and more powerful S38B38 3.8 unit combined with the

6-speed gearbox - the most desirable specification available for this model.

This is widely regarded in the collector community as a **value enhancing upgrade** not a negative modification.

--- **Q: Does the engine change affect the value or collectability?**

A: In this case it **enhances both.** The 3.8 6-speed cars command a significant premium over 3.6 5-speed examples.

The fact that this 1990 shell carries the superior 1997 drivetrain with only 67,000 miles is considered

by knowledgeable collectors as a **distinct advantage.**

--- **Q: Is the Daytona Violet the original factory colour?**

A: No. The car left the factory in blue. The current owner commissioned the Daytona Violet respray personally.

The paintwork now requires a full professional respray giving the new owner the

**complete freedom to choose any colour** including a return to original factory specification.

--- **Q: What condition is the interior?**

A: The white leather interior is in **excellent condition.** The rear seat has been moved only once in 30 years of ownership.

The interior is clean, largely untouched and presents beautifully.

--- **Q: Why has it been stored for 12 years?**

A: Personal circumstances led the owner to carefully cover and store the vehicle. It was **never abandoned or neglected**

- it was deliberately protected. The fact that it started first time after 12 years confirms the quality of that storage.

--- **Q: What work does the car need?**

A: Primarily a **full professional respray.** Additionally a decat pipe or OEM catalytic converter replacement on the

passenger side. A full fluid and filter service is recommended as standard recommissioning practice.

The clutch is **brand new.** The engine oil and filter are **freshly changed.**

--- **Q: Can the car be driven away?**

A: The vehicle must be **collected via recovery transport.** This is recommended for any responsibly stored

classic undergoing recommissioning and should be factored into collection arrangements.

--- **Q: What documents are available?**

A: V5 Logbook, past MOT certificates and various invoices supporting the vehicle history.

The private plate **PKZ 3800** is registered and included in the sale.

--- **Q: Is this a good investment?**

A: The E34 M5 is one of the most consistently appreciating modern classics in the market today.

This specific example - with its 3.8 engine, 6-speed gearbox, unique colour,

exceptional interior and 30 year single custodian history - represents the kind of specification that

**serious collectors compete for.** The recommissioning investment required makes the entry point highly attractive

relative to the finished value.

--- **Q: Has the car been inspected or independently verified?**

A: All information in this advertisement is accurate and fully verifiable.

Independent inspection by a qualified BMW classic specialist is **actively encouraged** and welcomed by the seller

prior to purchase.
