BMW Sheer Driving Pleasure

[@FCB-ub5iw]

These were the gold times of BMW, after 2004 it all became kind of...soulless. Cars are like mobile phones, we all have new iPhones and Samsung's etc., but deep down we all know Nokia 3310 was the best phone ever. It's the same with old BMW's.

The e34 has much better looks than the e39.

[@Kaisuke971]

Best looking 5 Series to this day

[@allmotorkp61]

IMO the best 5 series generation. they were reliable and look classy.

[@MrCapacitator]

Best looking 5 series BMW ever made, they should still make this body style with modern engines and interiors and just not change anything externally. I think they would sell like hot cakes.

I really love my E34! Just did a suspension rebuild on it. Brake upgrade and minor oil leak fixes. Has 270k miles :D

BMW is the best car brand ever. I grew up with an e30, then an e34, an e39, an e91 and an e89 z4. I remember that when we sold our 528i e39, I cried for days. It was one of the saddest moments in my life. We have only had BMW's since I was born. I grew up with BMW's. That is why I love them.

Growing up in this car, I thought I would one day have the opportunity to walk into an authorized dealership and buy a BMW of this quality, like my father did. That day will never come now, with your commitment to cheap materials and a complete aberration of the principles that made your company successful to begin with. Now I can only hope to find a low mileage example and restore it. Thanks for depriving us all of our dreams!

Why did BMW stop making beautiful cars like this?

[@soundseeker63]

E34 touring is one of my favorite ever estate cars! Still looks cool today. Practical + reliable + fun to drive + classy looks.... whats not to like?

[@MrLC1965]

Perhaps the best looking 5 ever and one of the best sportsedan of all time.

[@G_Kchrst]

Probably the most beautiful BMW ever made.

[@dinodidic3837]

The most agressive and criminal looking bmw ever!!!!

[@DannySNTV]

I'm a proud owner of a '93 E34 5-series daytona violet 525 tds, so comfortable and beautiful, i love it. A timeless classic.

[@Crimithy]

1989 e34 535i was my first car. I’ll never forget it.

[@Adrian_The_Great]

Greatest 5 series ever. My e34 turns heads where ever I go...

[@mro9466]

The best 5 series EVER.

[@bmxismylife123]

Never really liked the wide grille version. I love my pre-facelift one.

[@teerapote]

waiting for e39 episode to arrive it is my all time favorite 5 series ever.

[@MyRealName]

That final scene with focus following the music, lovely!
