Basic Information and History
A very well-maintained and well-documented BMW M5 E34 3.8, manufactured on July 15, 1994, and registered as a 1995 model year. This is the final and most refined version of the iconic E34 M5 – a car already regarded as a modern classic. Only 404 left-hand drive sedans of this final model year were produced, making this example a true collector's item.
The car was imported from Germany in 1999 and was owned by the same individual (born 1958) until 2009. At the time of import, it had covered 140,000 km – the original purchase receipt is still present. By the time it was sold in 2009, the mileage had reached approximately 300,000 km. The current mileage is 355,605 km, which is supported by extensive documentation, including inspection reports and receipts. The car has had a total of 6 users.
A binder containing receipts and invoices for ongoing maintenance totaling over 140,000 SEK is included. The service book is missing, but the history is well-supported by other documents.

Condition
The body is in excellent condition, free from rust, dents, door dings, or major scratches. The car was fully repainted in 2011 (receipt included), and the paint still presents very well. Minor scratches on side and rear windows, along with a small crack in one of the front headlights.
Wheels are damage-free, and chrome and trim are in very good condition.
The interior is very fresh – seats, door panels, and dashboard are in excellent condition. The steering wheel and controls show minimal wear, and the headliner has only slightly come loose in one corner – not affecting the overall impression.
All electronic functions work as they should – AC, power windows, lights, etc.

Summary
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a BMW M5 E34 3.8 in a condition that surpasses most others on the market. The car combines raw performance, classic M character, and exclusivity in a timeless design. With its limited production, documented history, and well-preserved condition, it is a perfect candidate for both collectors and passionate drivers.
There's also a charming backstory – a previous owner (a "Volvo guy") originally bought the car to use the drivetrain in a project but recognized the car’s unique character and chose to preserve it instead. It was then safely stored in his garage until 2022.
A dream purchase for the right enthusiast. Don’t miss this opportunity!
