If you\u2019re longing for the era when the family was much smaller, this video is a veritable blast from the past. Let\u2019s dial our imaginary time machine to the late 1980s when the E34 M5 was out and about with a 3.6-liter S38 before the 3.8-liter engine arrived for the 1992MY.<\/p>\n<p>A mint-condition example from that era made a trip to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/05\/14\/bmw-x5-m60i-spy-video-nurburgring\/\">N\u00fcrburgring<\/a> where YouTuber Misha Charoudin had the privilege of riding shotgun in the sports sedan. The old-school soundtrack never gets old, and we can say the exact same thing about the styling. Sure, its specs sheet pales in comparison to that of a newer M5, but enthusiasts will tell you numbers don\u2019t mean everything.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-266551\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E34 M5 photos 28 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW E34 M5 photos 28 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-266551\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E34 M5 photos 28 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/BMW-E34-M5-photos-28.jpg 1900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW E34 M5 photos 28 830x553\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The E34 M5 comes from a time when cars were much smaller and lighter, thus making them more tossable around a corner. Thankfully, the Nordschleife has plenty of those, so we\u2019re not surprised the car still puts a smile on the driver\u2019s face despite its venerable age. This one built in 1990 handles like a charm and its inline-six is eager to be revved all the way up to nearly 7,000 rpm.<\/p>\n<p>It was a busy day at the Green Hell and we can see the M5 overtaking quite a few cars. With an empty stretch of the road ahead, the driver pushed his performance saloon to over 200 km\/h (124 mph). That might not sound much by today\u2019s standards when even compact cars such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2018\/02\/12\/video-bmw-m2-vs-mercedes-amg-a45-acceleration-test\/\">AMG A45 S<\/a> have 416 hp. As a refresher, the top dog in the E34 lineup had to make do with roughly 100 hp less.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s M5 in the limited-run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/12\/31\/bmw-m5-cs-0-60-mph-2-6-seconds\/\">CS specification<\/a> has twice the power of this car, but is it twice the fun?<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hfy-kHH1BMs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Misha Charoudin \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"BMW E34 M5 N\u00fcrburgring Onboard\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hfy-kHH1BMs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT With BMW\u2019s lineup being so vast these days, it feels like a new or updated model is coming out every other week.
