How does it cost money to upload an old video? lol humans so money hungry

@@AD-sp5cv exactly they're just re upoloads

Looks like very old car

Of course. Some modern cars are too bloated, this is a clean and classy design.

The BMW E34’s styling is absolutely timeless imo.

Let's not forget the E34 M5 was the last hand built M car . LEGEND ❤

It absolutely does. I like this look better than the new ones

Most cars of 1990's were safe it just depend on the driver cause there are drivers out there who are nuts behind the wheel even today they are distracted by something and they don't pay attention to the road.

i don't care about safety. I'd rather die having fun in an old car than live with being bored in a new one.

In terms of crash zone etc modern car is way safer, modern car got bigger for a reason

Agreed.

Yeah, I'm keeping my 3rd gen 5 series for sure :D

Yes. They seem to squat during hard breaking. I thought that was cool too for back in the day

QUENTIN30 CDUB lol not to be an ass or anything but squat is used for when the car accelerates and dive is used when the car brakes like the OP typed

@@E_tiBEAMERBOY Watch the video very closely at 3:45 , regarding this vehicles braking balance. I suspect that was what the previous comment was all about.🍻

Wow, I never noticed that. That WHOLE car squats under braking. Pretty amazing stuff.

That's because of the self leveling suspension and stiffer shock absorbers.

Independent throttle bodies too

Amen, way better driving machine.

it looks its decade....

I prefer the e39. My father had a 2003 M5 in Le Mans blue. He also had an e38 Z3 M Coupé in Laguna Seca blue. When he passed away in 2010 my mom sold them. I wish I had had the money to buy at least one off her, but I understand she needed the money. I miss my father very much, he was a wonderful, overly generous man. He never flaunted his money around, and treated everyone as his equal. He instilled in me a strong work ethic, and to never judge anybody based on their financial status. He also taught me to never judge somebody, because you never know what burdens and pain they might be going through.

Indeed!™ About the same or more than a period Ferrari 348.

Not that "incredible"

were they underrated back then

310 hp M POWER !!

Take it to the dyno and temper its ECU and it will make 370hp and the Ferrari 348 will be scrapped

I know right, now you need an instruction manual to drive those new BMWS you see on the street so complicated. LoL 😁.

@@steveespinola7652 And for all that tech, they're worse driver's cars. Too big, too fat, too luxurious. Capable but disconnected.

You are right about that.

BMW M4 - a rebadged M3 New 3 and 5 series - same cars but different exterior New M5 - somewhat better from the older ones but still a nightmare to own M8 - rebadged M6 coupe M2 - better get the 1M instead

I miss that aspect of this era of BMWs. Wish they still did it.

Or rather they USED to be the ultimate driving machine.. Just seen the new FWD 1-Series and it literally made me feel sick how cheap and crappy modern BMWs have become :-(

Mike Smith agreed to some extent but weight distribution plays a vital part in nose dive during hard braking and cornering

Mike Smith you’re talking about geometry caster and camber or toe in toe out very important during suspension set up you forgot other important metrics like unsprung weight at all four corners and anti roll bar thickness wich again helps in anti dive braking

Shaiyan Hossain Despite the biblical unreliability, I’d also add the E60. That V10...

​@@JackBandicootsBunker Yet it is only the wild V10 engine that makes that car great.. Im not saying a standard issue E60 is bad, but they really dont compare well to the older models.

@bobagopaaa I have owned both a 525d e61 and still own a 530i e39 so I would beg to differ :).

I know a guy who knows a guy who drives a E60 M5 but uses a gearbox from a A80 Supra 😂 Talk about avoiding mechanical failure going too far

jameswillard1 your car is a 2019. 2020 is not here yet sorry.

Want to bet on that?? ....and I’ve actually had it since end of June

jameswillard1 it’s the year 2019. your car is really a 2019

Looks better too

Of course it sounds better because its an NA engine and a straight no filters exhaust. These days you gotta put so many filters and particules into an exhaust system that I wonder how anything comes out, and not to mention that its all turbos. But all in all, this car might be good sounding but by todays standards its slow; a modern 540i outperformes it big time. Its nearly impossible to achieve 600+ hp mark with just NA engines and still retain decent fuel economy and satisfy all the ecological standards in a car like this, so a lesser sound but thats why you get 3 second to 100 kmh family saloons these days.

He finds something to complain about in the interior of EVERY car they test. Usually its the "incomplete" gauge cluster or "poorly marked" stereo controls. Here its the HVAC that meets his disapproval despite the fact that literally anyone could figure out how to work them in a matter of seconds lol.

Yeah. Looked like fan speed in the middle of two temperature controls. Not sure why that was complicated to him.

I really appreciate this comment. I’m surprised I don’t hear about it more often. The newer touch screen controls have no tactile feel so you always have to take your eyes off the road for every adjustment, and they all take longer now too. Something to consider, this model 5-series (e34) has the window switches on the center console and the fog light switch in on the dash just to the right of the steering wheel. As a manual driver this is perfect because you don’t have to take your hand off the wheel for either of these items, you just use your shifting hand. This vehicle is so well engineered and so underappreciated, even the non-M spec ones.

I froze the video and looked at it. Seemed pretty simple to me, and I don't drive a BMW so I'm not used to seeing their setup. I guess I could figure it out within a day or two of driving it.

Chris Bangle: "Hold my beer...."

I just smile at how clinical some have steered towards to at this point. Tesla being a prime example. I suspect this is the dividend of Autonomy. 😐😕😴

More like the demons of hell are being summoned from that horrific exhaust.

They should make another v10 m5 it sounds so good

Anthony Molina ehhh i think having the 1 satisfies... it makes it a unicorn

The v8 e34 540i and e39 m5 are the greatest 5 series IMO

George Lin By traditional performance? Or overall including reliability

@Keye T I’d agree, the E39 M5/5-Series being products of the 90’s which carried over until 2003 were the last cars to represent BMW’s old values. Then came the unnecessary complexity, turbos, and computer overload. In fact, in the 90’s BMW M was against using forced induction, they preferred engine speed. The 2000’s on up have not been kind to the marque.

Stood for "young, upwardly mobile". A reference to the baby boomer generation making their way in the world.

Yup...I started hearing it in the 80s and lasted through the 90s

Young Urban Professionals

Still used now, I thought.

dftns19 They were the hipsters of their day

Hipsters.

They're instagramming their workouts to make sure people know they work out. Also they appear to have duck faces.

The kinda fit with his “Lethal Weapon Henchman” jacket and haircut.

@Kevin Moondust only partially correct. BMW began building aircraft engines, so the badge is definitely inspired by the spinning propeller.

I guess the rims make it kind of look like that at a quick glance, dont they?

I mean, sure. Even a GS430 would smoke it. M5 was really about power to weight and handling.

I think a better comparison would be... virtually the same power numbers as a PERIOD Ferrari 348. :)

Just a little unburnt fuel. Completely normal. If you *really* want to see a smoke show, watch MotorWeek's test of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe from 2013. :)

Darin Nederhoff Oh yes! Add a Renault Safrane Biturbo and a Lancia Thema 8.32 and you have my dream garage

Now that sounds pretty fun

Yes, it's the same as the old one. But this one have a better sound quality than the other one.

You can tell they added some of those close ups after the fact. Where they close in on a scene then pan around slowly. That's not original.

Hey guys, this M5 was never before posted by us...and it hasn't been altered from the original airing

@@bendavis9733 Sir, it was posted before. Date: 20 april 2015. Same video.

@@jareknowak8712 shugar!!! Sure enough, there it is. Sorry, I did a quick search on my channel before I uploaded and it didnt show up. I gotta run a tighter ship

We did a white '93 but this red '90 is a fresh upload
