Watch How the BMW M5 Has Evolved. Which is your favorite?

ceedawg · 12-25-2017, 01:33 PM

Just awsome machinery ALL. Favorites E38 and E39 most of all. That V8 and manual!! Who else had a manual 6 speed, V8 and 396hp early 2000's in Germany.

I'd be curious to see a similar video/post on the M3

stooker · 12-29-2017, 07:33 AM

I love the e28. Even as a former e30 owner (and still a huge fan), I like the e28 M5 more than the e30 M3.

Almaretto · 12-29-2017, 01:41 PM

E39 and F90

cenix · 12-29-2017, 11:13 PM

E60's S85 is the greatest M5 motor to date.

Really? All?

There are some great years, but I am not a fan of all, especially the tourings.

Tech and power advancements can't be ignored, so, I'm a fan of all iterations of the M5. I just think the S85 was a very special chapter in M's motor development and bringing something like that to market was a great thing for enthusiasts.

Titan9 · 12-31-2017, 08:18 AM

E39 & E60 for me. I have both in the garage.

Bt12 · 12-31-2017, 01:50 PM

E39 hands down

I am a fan of E39 as well, but BMW finally got it write again with the F90.

I do like the F10 and the F90, but the E39 is still the best... that's the design that sold me on BMWs when I was younger, every time I see that scene in Mr. and Mrs. Smith with the 3 M5s, it makes me want to find one and buy it.

I agree the E39 is great. The F90 is pretty special as well. I am not as big of fan on the F10 M5.

Cortexiphan · 01-05-2018, 12:27 PM

F90 is my favorite

sq86 · 01-05-2018, 04:59 PM

E39
E34
E60
E28
F10
TBD: F90

Favorite at the top. I didn't like the G30 535 I drove because it was such a porker. Totally different beast with the M5 though. It will be interesting to see if it captures the essence of prior M5s.

G30 540?

Once you get a chance to drive the F90, I bet it will move up on list.

E39 M5, owned 3 of them until last month when I decided to go the 1M route. Great cars, although the new one looks real nice as well.
