Video: History of the BMW M and the BMW M5 E34!

"The Drivers car, the M5! Unique in it's class."

"But always in manual!

"Please step back in time and see the US promo video of the E34 M5, handbuilt in Garching, Munich."

"Crafted with care for the Individual."

"Demand for the M5 comes all over the world, from Europe and America, the Far East and Australia, theTropics andthe Gulf"
GREAT video!"


This time there was no E55 or RS6, only the AMG Hammer that Mercedes didn't want to put it's star on... Later they got help from Porsche to build a similar one, the 500E. Andafter that they had to buy AMG factory to buildsportsedans themselves.

The M5 however has another legace...

I want more than one M5

A M5 1986 E28 M5 thanks.

A 1995 M5 E34 M5 Touring .

And a 2002 E39 M5 thanks. LeMans with Caramel.



Later maybe...

Anyhow, check out the GREAT video:

Lol, you knew it. "Yes sir, the line will be up by the end of the week." How is the cell phone holding out, typical phoine company move. Hope you get back on your connection fast. I know the pain of a 56K, I live through torment every day.

my phone line is up, but then still no DSL.. those bastards.... first there was something wrong with the line.. and when they got that fixed, my DSL worked for a total of 30 minutes, and my modem died on me... I still haven't called them to send me a replacement yet... since I'm leaving for South Africa tomorrow, I think I'll do it then and hopefully the modem will be waiting for me when I get back... :p

Thanks for the link to the video, Gustav! Love the short intro clips of the 3.0 CSL, M3, and M1 motorsport in motion. The video just adds to my addiction of such a great vehicle, the best car on earth!
