The Appeal

If the E34 is rightfully heralded as one of BMW's most influential cars of all time, it's little wonder the M-Car is even more cherished. Everything here feels functional, rugged and balanced - top-notch Bavarian build quality with a car that feels pleasingly analogue. A bit of a tonic against its modern counterparts, if ever there was one.

This generation's M5 is thus a real melding of the minds, blending high-revving performance with the refinement and long-distance comfort of the 5 Series platform. Well-sorted examples continue to attract strong interest from enthusiasts who appreciate the model's rewarding driving experience and understated presence.

This example has benefited from a thorough programme of recent mechanical work, and is now ready and waiting to hit the road with its lucky new keeper.
