E39 has to be one of my favourite M5’s. It’s aged sooooooo well. It’s beautifully proportioned in my eyes. Love the E60 too, especially in touring format. A stunning engine that we’ll never ever see again. The F10 leave s me a bit cold if I’m honest. Do like the latest F90 though...the comp is staggeringly fast too.

My uncle had a BMW dealership when the first M5 came out. He had his rebadged "520i" and was hunting down Porsches and Ferraris. 😃 Great to see Tiff again.

I saw an E34 M5 parked in downtown San Francisco probably around 2014. The car was black and IMMACULATE. I only knew a little about M cars then (have now had an F82 M4 for 4 years) but I was mesmerized by that E34. I walked around and looked at it for so long that I ran a few minutes late to my meeting. It was mindbogglingly beautiful. When I came back out to my rental, the M was gone. I have never seen another E34 M5 since then..and will probably never see one quite like that one from SF :o(

[@striezlmuc]

Totally agree, Tiff: You can‘t go wrong with any of these cars. Lovely review! Just a remark to the E60‘s SMG: yes, it‘s slow and jerky sometimes, especially in city traffic. But once you get the feeling for it, it suits that drive train! Just set it to a higher shift speed (not the highest), lift the throttle while shifting gears and it‘s buttery smooth. It‘s a robotized manual! No one would keep pressing the throttle to the floor while pushing the clutch...

Super cool video and I have one, a E34 M5 from 1995, so that gets my vote! But what was mentioned that the all 3.8s have the 6-speed gearbox is not correct, that was only the last year so the 1995 model. All 3.8 had the EDC dampers, but only the ones with the Nürburgring package had the switch inside, which was then standard on all 1995 models also.

Agreed. They have all got a spot in my dream garage but I've got a special boner for the e34.

[@Glob3Tech]

Also the E34 it's the last hand made M car made. Then the engine, the S38B38 we saw in the clip is the last direct decedent from the first racing straight 6 Motorsport division ever made. Worth mentioning as well that the S38B38 is the biggest straight six BMW has ever made. This is the last evolution with pure racing pedigree all the way from the M49/2 from the E9 CSL Batmobil -> M88 from the M1 Pro Car -> M88/1 from the road version M1 ->M88/3, the one we saw in the clip in the e28 (also in the M635CSi) and finally the S38 generation with the 3.6 first released and then with the best of them all the S38b38. The true engine blood line ends with the E34. So, you want the same racing pedigree that Ferrari built their empire around? Get the E34 M5 3.8 - it is is even better since it is such a great automobile. Not a car, an automobile. Something unbelievably special. I will not stop until I have one.

[@KHomfg]

OK there is a need for some clarification regarding the E34 (My Favorite M5, of which I've owned two). So from 1989 until 1992 it came with the 3,6l Straight Six (S38B36). For model year 1992 the engine was upgraded to 3,8 (S38B38), with an improved vacuum intake system and the introduction of the Nürburgring Package option - which initially had nothing to do with the gearbox but consisted of the EDC Electronic dambers, Servotronic adaptive steering as well as wider rear tires/rims (255 instead of 235). The 6 speed gearbox was introduced as standard on the (last) 1995 Model year, at which point the Nürburgring package was also made standard equipment. Cheers!

It included bigger swaybars, Servotronic, staggered wheels, switch in dash to change suspension settings, etc. The option was discontinued in 5/94, when the last stage of the e34 M5 was introduced which had all these things as standard except the wheels and Servotronic.
