And US models were 315 for the e34 and 333 for the e46, so still less in US trim.

"It's more like". I didn't say absolute distance. The way both dashes are designed, that's how it feels.

E34
One special item I'm surprised he missed was the a feature of the computer to the right of the radio. It had a code button on it where you could put in a number to prevent anyone from starting the vehicle. Really nice security feature way ahead of its time. I miss my E34!

Took a 1.5 hour trip (when I lived in NY) deep into CT to look at a 1991 back in 2011 but had 201k miles and the owner didn’t even do a rebuild yet. Had rust, leaking oil and the interior was 4/10. Funny how the pictures fooled me. Ended up passing on it and got a e39 M5 instead.
Doug trivia: there is one car he has reviewed that he wasn’t allowed to drive. Which one? Winner gets a bag full of nada. |

Great car for its time. But best M5s are E60 and F90 IMO. I drove E39, E60, F10 and F90. Among the ones I drove I'd say: F90 > E60 > F10 and way way behind is E39.
I think the biggest leap in M5 history is between E39 and M5. From a fast 5 series (E39 M5) to a real M5.

This is an observation unrelated to the car, but what really struck a cord with me in this review is the pricing of the car. Salaries in most professions haven't kept up with inflation. If you were making say $250k in 1992 you could pick up an M5 easy, but with that salary today good luck getting an M5.

I like Doug's videos but as evidenced by this thread lots of forum members/enthusiasts don't care for him. |
