Produced from 1988 to 1995, the E34 M5 was the last M car crafted by hand at BMW Motorsport's Garching facility. Power evolved from a 3.6-liter to a 3.8-liter S38 inline-six, offering up to 347 hp, paired with adaptive M suspension and massive brakes.

Distinctive styling details like the turbine 'M System' wheel covers and aerodynamic lower skirts set it apart. The E34 generation also introduced the ultra-exclusive M5 Touring wagon, creating a legendary cult icon among high-performance load luggers.
