Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman drive every BMW M5................



My favorites were the V8 E39 and V10 E60, the E28 and E34 were before my time, the F10 and F90 are not M-cars in my opinion.

Yeah I was tempted to turn it off after the E60.
But how good do those E39s look, spot on from every angle inside and out.
Don’t want to be pedantic, but the E12 M535 was the first M sedan. Pretty much an M5 before they started using the badge.

I’m not into exotics but this channel is worth a look. I’ve binged on all of his videos.

I love the balance of size and power this car has. I'm also a sucker for that engine, and I guess that's why I love my Mustang so much, high revving, naturally aspirated, induction note, exhaust note..............what's not to love.

As much as I hate to say it, the closest thing to the E39 M5 you could buy after its run would be a VE or VF Commodore SS. Naturally aspirated V8, 6-speed manual, well sorted RWD chassis, great steering. Which is no coincidence, Holden (and Ford with the BA) benchmarked the E39 5-Series in general for the VE Commodore.
