With BMW launching a new M5, let’s take a look at one of the standout models from the past. While there are faster M5 variants, few offer the same level of driving engagement. This particular model features a Euro-spec 3.8-liter inline-six engine, boasts an impressive interior, and comes in a striking purple color. As the seventh generation of BMW’s M5 begins, fans have many different opinions about which is the best. Everyone has a favorite Bavarian speed sedan, whether it’s the all-engine cars from the first generation or the E60 chassis cars with their roaring V-10s. We’d like to make the case for the second-generation E34-series car, which was in Ronin (1998), the best modern car chase movie. This 1993 M5 in Daytona Violet Metallic is the perfect executive fast car for all your needs. It has a 3.8-liter S38 straight-six engine made in Europe that makes 335 horsepower at 6900 rpm and a manual gear. The very rare Nürburgring package is also included, along with a better interior with suede seats and beautiful striped fabric. We may have also said that it is purple. You can now buy it on Bring a Trailer. You can’t blame the many M5 fans who have switched from the E34 to the V-8-powered E39 M5 because they think it is the best of the best. That car looks like a mix between a German aristocrat and a Chevy Camaro. However, the E34 M5, which was made from 1988 to 1995 and had an inline-six engine, maybe more in line with BMW’s original ideas. Also, the E34 gave that powerful six-cylinder the chassis it earned. This was different from the original E28 M5, which stuffed the engine from the M1 into a four-door sedan, making it a slow beast that liked to be driven sideways. Do you not want to own the best car in the world? This version has a few more Lipizzaner stallions because it is a Euro-spec car, and the Nürburgring package improves the handling in a good way. Another great thing about this car is its beautiful 18-inch rounded wheels. The electrically adjustable suspension has been swapped out for H&R springs and Bilstein dampers that don’t give any problems. Several types of upkeep were done this year, such as replacing the engine wiring harness, rebuilding the air conditioning compressor, and changing the fluids. This car was meant to go to Japan, but it has been in the US since 2001. If you’re curious about why a left-hand drive car was sold in Japan, keep in mind that until the early 2000s, most M, Audi RS, and AMG cars were left-hand drive. People still like to drive their older 911s that have left-hand drive. The market for fans says that Euro performance should be “correct,” the same as in its home market. Aside from that, this M5 is not a garage queen. It has a little more than 110,000 miles on it, but no one knows the exact number. It needs someone to drive it, not just someone to look at it, no matter how nice it looks, even though it’s purple. Place your bid, and if you get the E34 on the M5 greats podium, you’ll win this prize. This hero from the 1990s had twice as much power and twice as much charm as the current one. The sale ends on November 6.
