For a non-turbo engine, it&#8217;s HP output is as high as I&#8217;ve ever seen in an E28. And stripped down to 2,500 pounds? Wow. The E28 is notoriously heavy and difficult to strip down for racing, but Daniels used a lot of carbon fiber &amp; fiberglass to help keep the weight down. Here is a video of it going up against an E36 M3 (owned &#038; driven by Brian Watts.) In the video, the M3 can outrun the M5 in the straights, but the M5 walks right on by in the corners. Tells a lot about the work that Daniels put into the chassis and suspension! And about the driver!<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"405\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/WzZlakDcCKI&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999&#038;border=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p>The car was up for sale on eBay, but the auction ended with the final bid at $21,100, and the reserve not met. <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s something you don&#8217;t see every day: One of the Fastest M5\u2019s in the country 1988 E28 M5 VIN# WBSDC9305J2791570 prod date 6\/87 Just in time for the racing season.
