    I just wanted to point out something... 315 HP today may not be that much in a luxury sports sedan, but a year after this car was produced, the original Dodge Viper “only” got 400 HP from an 8-liter V10 engine. This BMW engine had 60% of the cylinders and 45% of the displacement, and still made 79% of the horsepower of the Viper. Power-per-liter in this BMW was *EXTREMELY* impressive for its day!

    • @damilolaakanni
      @damilolaakanni 2 года назад +28

      BMW is known for underrating their power figures, so that 315HP might be pretty conservative.

      It still is today. I know that over 100hp/ liter has become kinda the standard, BUT you have to remember that this car doesn't have forced induction.

      The viper was an understressed engine. This m5 is overstressed. This is a design philosophy difference most people do not understand. AMGs benzes at the time had 7 litre v8s making 380-400hp too.

    LEGENDARY. I'm a 14 year old boy and I got myself on of these for my first car yesterday, it was someone else's project car before this and the original owner never finished, so he game me the car for free. There was about $8k - $14k value of parts already put in. The project car sat in a garage for 3 years. Put in the battery, fired right up. Some of these mods included HAMMAN body aero kit, adjustable coil overs, a sound system, a tac welded $300 radiator, new headlights, and an exhaust job. This was probably the last cool classic BMW model before it changed. Not saying newer models are bad, but if it were me to choose between a front opening hood and safety technology, well.... It's I great car to have. Doug Demuro is the first RUclips channel I searched for a review so I can possibly get in touch with some controls and some data. Thanks daddy Doug!

    Something that I'm sad Doug didn't know, but that honestly almost nobody seems to anyway, there's a way to hit a certain button combo on the driver information center next to the radio and see various information about various stats on the car that aren't displayed by the buttons that are there. If I remember right, you could push the 1000 and 10 buttons at the same time and enter a code to get it in to that mode. There were things in there like language setting, current fuel consumption in L/100km and Liters per Hour, fuel range, current speed, and a few different sensor outputs for troubleshooting. Really cool stuff!

    @TheMrEfPe 4 года назад +55

    There are a few more „features“ hidden there:
    The rev counter range goes to 8000 reflecting the capabilities of the engine. All other gasoline E34 had a 7000 rpm counter.
    The instant gasoline consumption Instrument in the tach was deleted for a oil thermometer because that delicate engine should not be raced before the oil was warm
    Increased speedometer range but the car was limited to 250 kph. In Europe the M5 had a 300 kph speedometer, normal cars max 260 kph. That is a sign of the speeds that car could travel at. There is still a convention among major German brands to limit regular cars to 250 kph. That convention came up in the 80ies with cars like the M5 or 12 cyl 750 emerging that would go way beyond 250 / 155 mph and would likely have been driven on the Autobahn at that speed posing some danger to the average Beatle or Golf maxing out at half that speed.
    In the glovebox you might have found a little flashlight that is being recharged while in its holder - a nice supplement to the key.
    Actually there was an optional automatic a/c that had exactly those on/off buttons for air flow - separate sets for passenger and driver each. So the passenger could have his feet heated while the driver could have ice cold air blowing in his face.
    Hidden in there is a „digital check control“ that notified the driver if a bulb in the right brake light was blown for example. It would also tell the driver to refill washer fluid and many more messages.
    And so on...

      I had an `85 E28 with the overhead (over the rear view mirror) infotainment system. You had to press the "check" button every time you started the car so the vehicle knew you had checked all the potential codes before driving off. A bright "CHECK" light on your dash would flash until you pressed it. That on board computer was never broken on any of the 3 E28's I owned...made insanely well.

    This car is special (i'm biased since I own one). A few things to note on this car. The steering wheel is a 93 wheel, it was not offered in 91. The side mirrors on this car were upgrades. The white on white (vs white on black two tone was an option on white cars). The throwing stars did not come with this car originally in 91. This car is one of the first sedans to offer dual climate control.

    I remember driving an e39 M5 and thought this is the most amazing BMW ever. That's because I drove e36 and e46 M3 models. Then I drove an e34 M5 and was blown away with BMW inline 6, M engines. This is still my favorite of all the M5 models! The design, performance, and classiness of this car is unmatched. I agree 100% with Doug about all the reasons that this car was special.
    Oh and lastly don't drive this car too hard if you don't know how to handle oversteer. ;)

      I've never understood the American fixation on cup holders. Why would it make sense to drink anything in a car? Clearly you don't get dehydrated by sitting in a air conditioned car. If you drink something, you are going to have to piss, which is kind of a problem when you are driving a car. Unless it is a short distance you are driving, but why would you then risk spilling the drink on the car interior and/or yourself while driving rather than just wait until you get where every you are going and drink there?
