 1988 bmw m5 e28 Hey everone, I'm new here. I just got my hands on a 1988 BMW M5 that has been in storage for years. It has approx. 90,000 miles. It was in mint condition before the storage and extremely well serviced. I want to give the car a tune up and general insection. I would love some advice as to what I should do regarding maintenece - What fluids to change, what brands to use, etc... Here's my list so far: Engine Oil + Filter Compression Test Transmission Fluid Brake Fluid Coolant Flush Radiator (spout broke) Thermostat Power Steering Fluid Differential Fluid Fuel Filter Fuel Rail Flush Spark Plugs Distributor Cap Rotor Button Battery New Tires and Alignment. (Currently 235 45 17 Throwing Stars) Air Filter (There's a cone, is OEM setup better?) Hoses that look bad Wiper Blades Inspection of Belts      |

| Nice find - congrats on the purchase!!! Any pictures? Maintenance of the original M cars is not my strong suit, but hopefully someone will chime in with advice.

| Great looking car, I miss my E28 M5. Your refresher list looks good, but you forgot two HUGE things....timing chain/guides...get those done, the car needs it (It's no spring chicken anymore), and get those valves adjusted!

| Treat the leather and dash, some of the fluids will be adressed with a proper inspection. You probably want to Zymol the paint. I would run some BG 44k through it to clean the injectors. She looks to be a Beauty, Hope all goes well. Happy Motoring |
