Big Motoring World reviews a classic: BMW E34 M5

The BMW M5 is an all-time classic, no doubt. Big Motoring World looks into why it was - and still is - successful.

The E34 M5 was the last of the six-cylinder M5s by BMW, and to car connoisseurs it’s arguably the best of the lot. The E28 created the template for the modern-day performance carry-all, whilst the E34 moved it forward.

Usability

For its era, the early 1990s, the E28 seemed pretty much perfect. But BMW made things even better with the 3.8-litre upgrade to this M5 in 1992. This featured a 3795cc engine with an upgraded engine management system, plus revised suspension. There was also an increase in safety and security, which was followed by a six-speed gearbox in 1994.

When maintained properly, this car can clock up in excess of 200,000 miles. Some models had leather in grey or black, whilst others used cloth – both last extremely well and when scrubbed up, your car will look like it has been around for two years rather than two decades.

Verdict

The BMW M5 E28 is a bargain for a performance car and can be picked up for less than £4,500. No other car offers this level of usability, build quality and dynamic prowess for that sort of money and the engine sounds phenomenal.
