This BMW M5 Touring Is The ULTIMATE 90s Wagon [E34]

[@maximumtheandy]

This is why I love this channel. Who else of the big car KZbinrs cover more unusual cars like this. We've all seen Performante's, Bentayga's and 911's, but a 90s fast estate is something else.

[@jryalls]

Great stuff Sam 👍. I think it’s already a classic though.

[@seenthroughglass]

You’re probably right there

[@badmontad]

@@seenthroughglass you just gonna ignore that absolute banger of a username?

Bro you’ve been on KZbin for 13 years that’s properly og

Can't believe you did't jump at the opportunity to title this video "Driving my BMW to pick up another BMW to drive to BMW to get a part for my BMW"

[@itsjoel]

Ivan replacement? 🤩

[@calum2403]

I’ve been watching you since very early days. About 3 years ago I started drifting away for some reason but today I remembered about you and the growth is amazing!

[@andrewdavis2325]

I love watching you reaction Sam, it makes me chuckle every time. You Gotta love those old MPower cars.

[@seenthroughglass]

Ha, thanks for tuning in

[@TheCabrooster11]

Personally I wish that car makers would reinstate performance estates instead of SUV’s because they look cooler and definitely drive better

[@DeeDeeDanone]

Surely C63s, E63, RS4, RS6, Panamera all tick that box? M340 Touring just about does too.

[@TheShootingBrake]

You and your positivity has been what has gotten me through Architorture school. You and I are the same age and I love your videos and your outlook on life. Keep up the great work, Sam.

[@seenthroughglass]

That’s awesome to hear. Thank you!

[@gregorycherrett]

"performance or plumpy" got me XD another great one Sam, keep it up

[@hassankhan384]

I love these old school cars, they are fun to drive, proper cars and these old school bmws, mercedes, toyotas, lexus, hondas, and so on.

[@arny9464]

I was thinking of commenting something similar. You nailed it! Lol 😆

[@JunixZzHD]

0:47 Undoubtedly the whitest "oh, the po-po" I've ever heard. Love it.

[@robinmarples5198]

This thing is the last m car completely hand built on different and dedicated assembly lines. Just for this reason it worth it

[@ukctchannel5935]

10:00 *EDC:* This stands for "Elektronische Dämpfer Control". In "P" mode the car will recognise if you're driving normally or throwing it about. If you start doing the latter it will automatically switch in to "S" (Sport" mode) i.e. with a stiffer damper setting without you having to manually invoke it.

[@h1923]

Man extremely great video ( one of my favourite about e34) Thats how you every journalist should drive and receive fun out of driving

[@michaelmostert4502]

Love the straight 6 M cars! Take my money sir Great vid please please drive some more 90’s classics

[@armingholami28]

So happy to see this video! I'm in the progress of getting a restored E34 520i and I can't wait. Sure it's not an M5 but still cool.

[@prits5976]

E34😍 I love how analogue and tactile they feel, proper build quality from the way the door shuts to all the buttons/leather. They don't make them like they used to😞

[@edconolly5330]

Just another level from the other car content on KZbin. Thanks Sam.

[@RB-ir5yo]

I had a 1994 3.8, Oxford Green. Try and find one now!! Brilliant car. Shame the estate was not built in RHD. It is definitely already a classic. Great Vid, thank you.

[@emilm6334]

Always enjoy your Videos, keep up the good work!!! The Quality you deliver is amazing!!

[@seenthroughglass]

Really appreciate that

[@romualdrenault4782]

Even when the car is not so much of an interest to me, your content is always worth the time watchibg it!

[@danielheathcote5625]

Funny thing is my dad and I were talking about how fast cars are now (well sporty cars) after getting blasted by an f-type r - he had a 1987 Porsche 911 Carreras for 20 years. He sold it 4/5 years ago. He never replaced it - his a4 Quattro avant was just as fast in pure terms (0-60 in 6.6 seconds, faster point to point) - but nowhere near as involving. Both of us would take the older option and spend the change on something outrageous for the track thanks!

[@stewartschuster]

I love these wagons. Thanks for making this video.

[@romanholidaycandybat]

Sam you’ve changed. Loved this. Time to revisit the CSL perhaps with fresh eyes!!?

[@seenthroughglass]

Ha, I think almost certainly!

[@MRVSKIN]

Brilliant video Sam. Love the car. None of all this electronic stuff that the modern day cars have. Proper driving

[@davidlavelle4089]

Superb review as always and brilliantly summed up at the end in terms of the usability vs value argument!

[@sidrennie9433]

I bloody love your videos Sam!

[@davidbeswick900]

What an ICON, great video Sam!

[@istvan8858]

Great stuff Sam!!! I honestly believe you are one of the most underrated KZbin-er. Your content is genuine and honest. Keep up the great work and please stay away from the hypercars, not like some of your fellow KZbin-ers. I really hope you reach the million subs very soon!

[@ianlafky5563]

I used to call my mom's X3 the loaf of bread, because that's the most descriptive term I've found to describe the post electronic steering X3 beemers. First gen X1 Xdrive35i M Sport is where it's at. The MOST unassuming sleeper I've ever encountered that is generally driven by middle class soccer moms, and hands down best car my moms ever owned and driven. Still waiting for the day I can afford and am crazy enough to bite the bullet of BMW ownership and running costs.

[@sadubone]

I'd take it in a heartbeat. Love old classics and wagons.

[@Project_JDD]

You keep outdoing yourself with these videos, Sam! Cheers from Bavaria

[@ioanevans6125]

Well, there goes my day. Going to be searching auto trader for 90’s estate cars now 😂

[@tonysibley9524]

What a brilliant, entertaining reveiw! Well done Sam,... class in a glass 👍

[@galaevvahit]

My dream BMW e34 touring!! What a beauty!!

[@AnthonyMichael504]

E34 M5s and e39 M5s truly no other bmw can top it. The values yes. Are going up. But worth it. Every. Single. Penny.

[@edwardwood6127]

Good video! Nice departure from the super cars into classic car territory. Much appreciated 👍🏽

[@siennamayh]

Had the same happen to me with my VW LT van. Stole the wing Mirror. The whole assembly! . Broke the glass to get in and get it off but did a very neat job and even left me all the bolts neatly on the seat 😏

[@jameseast8510]

The E34 might be my all time favourite looking BMW, such a sharp looking car!

[@iqbal55]

Thanks for the vid Sam! Honestly had no idea E34 M5 wagon was a thing and it's absolutely gorgeous. Definitely in my dream garage now!

[@JoshKemponcars]

Another great video Sam! 🙌🏼

[@seenthroughglass]

Thanks matey

[@Retrobeemer]

Love an M5 touring. Proper M engines were always high revving and need to be spanked. Much like the E30 M3. Inspired my #bmw16v02 resto mod build too.

[@maukdegroot7931]

Great content these type of modern classics!

[@Ollymck]

Love the Vlogy style videos! Keep up the hard work, all the best🙌🏻

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Even the 540i Touring, is a great tourer.

[@R13AAD]

Amazing car! Like you said it would be for a collector or OG BMW enthusiast. As fast as new cars are there’s just something about old cars... love the rawness to them!

[@JaysEyeView]

Great! Now I want a 90's estate car. Thanks, Sam!

[@krisdonnelly8122]

It's a beauty. Already a classic

[@yellowballoons7245]

Great Sam , love your honesty and enthusiasm. Look forward to your next video 😀👍🏼

Okay so who else at 3:49 was trying to blow that hair off their phone!! Cracking car btw Sam. Touring FTW as well 👍🏾

Lovely Jubbly video, admire your honesty when reviewing cars like this.

[@seenthroughglass]

Thanks matey

[@jackrietdyk2256]

what a beast of a wagon

[@karlhurn]

As John Travolta said in Pulp Fiction, ""Never 'mess' with another mans automobile". Sorry about the wing mirror, but loving the M5 Touring Sam, great video 👍

[@stephenwilliams6540]

Great video Sam 🙂👍

[@stevesevs]

Love it mate! Watched every single video through lockdown, always looking forward to a Sunday with an STG video and a coffee. Use the behind the glass during the week while I'm working. Thank you Sam :)

[@AlphaLlama]

That’s one cool car! I’d be happy having a regular 520i let alone a M5 Touring 😍

[@seenthroughglass]

Agreed! It’s got the old school cool vibe about it

[@I_am_Jesus_though]

Iys great watching the content then being able to hear you and Tony on the podcast, keep up the great work 💪

[@jeanrobert499]

It start at 5:00 for those actually interested by the M5 touring

[@mikeyronnie5626]

That engine note 🎵 Also Sam you may not think you are leading the way in fashion but you've just inspired me to buy a plaid shacket, I'm not likely to pair it with a fluorescent orange hat mind you...

[@joshwilletts6852]

Another amazing video Sam keep up the amazing work 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@aleksandarnisevic6784]

love the sound of the old BMW door handles... isn't that weird...

to me it isn't...

[@mikoajdrynda1250]

Tony would love this

[@-LK34-]

What an epic car and engine

[@RoyalSwish]

Nice to know Seen Through Glass was in north-west London!

[@96Rozzer]

That car is dreamy! Fast retro estates are epic and the fact it’s a BMW is the icing on the cake 😍

[@seenthroughglass]

I’m kind of with you here

[@magnustan841]

Nice! Very classic looking, but still modern enough, sounds quite fruity too. (8:10 to 8:30) However, given how popular it is with the car community, I think the E60 M5 Touring will have more icon status, because not as many people know about this as they do the E60. Top Gear driven it, Tiff Needell made a great review of it, both the saloon version. But Fith Gear did do a E60 M5 Touring “Race to Valencia” review.

[@dudley7540]

They just look right!

[@bhargavshatrughna489]

Estate wagons are really good cars! The M5 was very surprising!! Great car guy content!

[@guligeorge]

Hi Sam, maybe one of your future videos on modern classics will be with an italian icon: the 147 or 156 gta. Hope you don’t mind the suggestion. Keep it up!👏🏼

[@richierichie4127]

“To quote Hear’Say” hahah wow, now that’s a throwback lol

[@seenthroughglass]

Haha, thought it was 90s appropriate

[@deltaecho8968]

Damn Silver is an understated colour!

[@rssimracing5057]

2 wing mirror glasses got taken off a new RS6 and wires cut. Although a wiring repair may have been possible... A proper repair would need a wing mirror loom which came with new mirrors. AND the glass was auto dimming & heated... Total proper repair was over £1,000

[@brendanburke6138]

Great content on such a icon (the car that is!). Looking forward to more vlogs like this in 2021...maybe even a road trip after the pandemic is under control!

[@alexzandz]

Hey Sam, I know you were mentioning about the video not doing as well as you expected (and maybe it being to do with it being an older car) on the podcast. My two cents: the video took a long time to get going with a lot of admin and updates at the beginning. My feel is that its paced a bit slow and the m5 is just an ending rather than the topic of the video. Not sure if you were trying to stretch out or something but thats my feeling, I was interested in the my but nearly clicked away tbh.

[@spainter1985]

E34 M5 Touring, cooler than any modern M car without a doubt

[@olastarkman914]

Great vid. I really miss the E34M5 I had a couple of years ago. Sold it when prices were as low as they could. The guy who bought mine sold it a few years later for 4x the money. 😪

[@seenthroughglass]

Thanks for the watching! So many stories like this. Just got to enjoy the cars for what they are and not kick yourself if they end up becoming crazy valuable

[@Moto_Runnerr]

I had a BMW e34 touring nürburging edition 3.8liter straight six in like a purpule color but darker and sold it i regrett selling that car mate😢 honestly the sexyest best car i hav ever own man

It already is an icon!

[@SChapps]

I remember at one of my old jobs a colleague came in and said that her wiper blades had been stolen from her car, and everyone got a good laugh out of it. But seriously, who nicks some used wiper blades from a mk5 Fiesta? Why would you even risk the chance of someone catching you for that? 😂

Thank you, really enjoyed, a rather sunny and quite mellow vibe, perhaps time for Ivan the Volvo's Bavarian brother in the STG Garage, a manual Touring, now that would be so much fun 👍😎
