This 1989 BMW 5 Series is an E34 model with a 3,400cc petrol engine, automatic gearbox and rear wheel drive, showing 91,000 km (approximately 56,545 miles) at a Sapporo auction graded 4.
The E34 marked BMW's move to a smoother, more aerodynamic shape for the 5 Series and is well regarded among enthusiasts for its solid build and relaxed long distance manner, especially in the larger six cylinder form seen here. Finished in black with a grade B interior, this example presents as a tidy, usable car for its age rather than a fully restored showpiece.
An auction grade of 4 generally points to a car in good honest condition with only light wear consistent with its mileage, though buyers should always check the translated auction sheet further down this page for the full breakdown of panel and interior notes before bidding.
As the car is now well over 25 years old, it qualifies for import into the United States under the federal 25 year rule, alongside worldwide shipping arranged by Autoselecta once purchased at auction on the customer's behalf.
