1991 BMW M5 4dr Sedan
Over 20 years later, the car is still a blast to drive.
The limited run of US E34 M5's places you in a small group of proud owner, amongst a much larger group of enthusiasts who respect the automobile.
The car has an amazing sound with the factory exhaust, more of a small camm V8 sound than a factory I6.
Still nimble and quick, the car makes your drive to work fun again.
The fuel … consumption is a bit less than one might like, but it is easy to overlook for the combination of comfort and enjoyment offered by this emerging classic.
Due to the limited parts availability and maintenance requirements, I would not advise for daily use. For ocassional use and weekend fun, it's simply perfect.

1993 BMW M5 4dr Sedan
This is one of those great motor cars
that as soon as you drive the first
mile you can sense it's motorsport
background.
Free-reving engine, tight steering and
suspension, sport seats, and the deep
exhaust note all tell you this is
something special.
It is not cheap to own - despite being
simple in design by today's standards,
the car has a number of very advanced …
features that are great when they
work, but when they don't, the cost to
repair them can be high. For example,
this car has the Nurburgring
suspension - with its dynamic
dampering system it sense cornering
loads and adjust the shocks to
compensate - cost of replacement about
$4000.

1992 BMW M5 4dr Sedan
These are fine cars. It's what BMW claims as the ultimate driving machine which of course it is. $75,000 list price when new. Gonna keep it for a long time. It is one of the fastest cars on the road! They blend in well without looking hotrodded and very safe and comfortable car.

1991 BMW M5 4dr Sedan
I bought mine in 2005 w/196,000 miles already on it. Was worried but soon found out there was nothing to worry about. Other than oil changes and filling the tank I had to do nothing to it. She ran like a dream the whole time I had it and just sold it this week w/214,000 and wouldn't doubt if it went another 214k. The car has more power than you'll ever need and corners like a dream.
