Wanted 1988 M5 E28 Photo Shoot

Traveling long distance to take photos of an old sports car... is this some sort of luxury treasure hunt?
Will there be flesh and blood models as well?

This is also not on the west coast, but its available anytime until February 1st.


Stock except for brakes (brembos and E34 M5), m tech suspension, and euro bumpers with euro lights and the correct euro rear valance. Black on black (rare one of 30 in the US), and with rear headrests. Now sports Style 42s instead of the style 5s in the picture. Also note the chromeline door bumpers vs the US M5s original shadowline to match the chrome bumpers. Basically take off the US plates and from the outside it looks like a true Euro M5.
30 minutes from Newark airport.

Wow nice selection of M5s. However, I would like a little more info on what the photo shoot is all about. I mean, is this for the cover of "Satanic Ritual Monthly" and will there be a bloody goat head perched atop my hood? Maybe a band album cover with a bunch of those skinny-jean wearing flamers all posing seductivly around my vintage German hot-rod? Am I being compensated(beer, . . .models. . .some blood stained high heels maybe)?
Dunno.
Dunno.

How much for your painted ones? I have a set of unpainted brand new shadowline bumpers, but it'd be easier for me to buy them ready to go and sell mine.Charles Gray wrote:You could attend the 10th annual St. Paddy's Day Meet in San Diego on March 19th. There should be several nice examples there.
If I can get my ass in gear, my car might even have chrome bumpers by then.

Hi guys -
I'm a colleague of Nathan's and he's on vacation. Our time table is pretty urgent so I am chiming in his absence.
The shoot will be used to 3D-model the E28 M5. Unfortunately I can't publicly discuss more than that but I can assure you that nothing offensive will be done with the car. In addition, we will digitally remove all identifying marks from the car such as license plates and VIN tags. If anyone is interested, we are available to shoot it as soon as next week.
The car needs to be started but not driven. We need 20 feet all around the car for the photoshoot. If you are interested, we also need sound recordings which would be performed under load on a dyno. This is by no means a requirement of doing the photoshoot, but is another part of the project we will need to source.
PM ME here on mye28 forums and we can discuss further details.

As mentioned, I can't say publicly what specifically the shoot is for.
I'm also afraid the car needs to be more than just a euro-bumper equipped E28, it needs to be an actual gray-market european import. Must have M88 and km/h dashboard. Of course we could find some in der Vaterland, but we are limited to North American travel at this time.
If anyone has any leads on such a car, that would be fantastic.

If it's all getting virtualized for 3d there's no reason they couldn't do a shoot of the Euro body, and then a shoot of the M88 engine bay, and graft the two together?wkohler wrote:I've got all of that except the M88. Well, I guess I "have" the M88 too, but in a different car.
If the end product is going to be gaming or CGI, I would think there is a lot of picking and choosing and mashup they could do prior to delivery of the final product.
Why then the requirement for a single grey-market car with a KM dash, etc? Shoot a couple of vehicles and mix/match.
