  • What’s better than an M5? Many of them! On today’s episode of Inside BMW Group Classic, our own Christoph and Benny discover three variants of the E34 M5: the ‘Gentleman’s Express’ sedan; the ultra-rare state-of-the-art M5 Touring; and the Nürburgring ring taxi!
    Come and check them all out, and let us know in the comments which is your perfect dream E34!

      Oh how sad. Had no idea she died. Glad I got to meet her in 2009 at the Ring with the E60 M5 Ring Taxi. She was impressed with my 7:30 time on the Nordschliefe in a stock E60 M5 in GT4.... "Oh, well show us!" she said. Nice moment and glad I got a pic with her on my Insta account.

    From May 1994, the M5 E34 was only available with a 6-speed manual transmission at no extra charge, the last M5 model had the large 345 compound brake system as standard as the adjustable Nürburgring suspension and the wide facelift kidney grille. The fastest production sedan was an E34, but not the M5 but the Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo.
    Very nice cars.

    Great video Christoph and Benny! You both are invited to tour EAG's collection and film as much as you like anytime - we have just about every M-Car built during the first three decades of production. Until then, I think a video of the Black Z8 Coupe would be a rather popular one!

    Around 2014 I bought an E34 525i, white outside gray inside, automatic transmission with 125k miles on it. Always wanted a BMW and it was my 1st car. I absolutely loved it. After two years of driving it started to break down a lot which is expected after having 4 previous owners. Who knows how the car was treated before me. Anyway, great car. If I could get my hands on a wagon version with manual transmission I'd definitely do it.

    Darn it. Now I want another E34 M5 all over again. Went from TX all the way to the Canadian border to pick up a Candian (nee' Euro) spec car and that road trip was one of the best vacations ever. It even had the car phone! But more importantly it had the proper M5 four seat arrangement and throwing stars. I could live without the S38B38 engine or six speed (the sixth gear was actually just another overdrive anyways). And yes, these can easily do 170mph on the highway and live up to being the fastest German car at the time...so a friend told me
