Thanks to Duke of London, I go for a drive in an extremely rare BMW E34 M5 Touring. Less than 1,000 of these cars were made back in the mid-90s and it represents an iconic era for the brand.
From BMWblog.com:
The E34 was the first generation of M5 to come in wagon form and it had more power than any other M car before. Its 3.8 liter straight six was also the largest displacement six-cylinder engine of BMW’s modern era.
That bigger engine makes 340 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque and it delivers both in a linear, mechanically delicious manner. It’s a proper ‘six that engine.
Capable of 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and available only with a manual transmission qualifies this M5 Touring as probably one of the rarest M5 around. That’s about MINI Cooper S speed today but it was very quick back in the early ’90s.

This is why I love this channel. Who else of the big car UKpostsrs cover more unusual cars like this. We've all seen Performante's, Bentayga's and 911's, but a 90s fast estate is something else.

I used to call my mom's X3 the loaf of bread, because that's the most descriptive term I've found to describe the post electronic steering X3 beemers. First gen X1 Xdrive35i M Sport is where it's at. The MOST unassuming sleeper I've ever encountered that is generally driven by middle class soccer moms, and hands down best car my moms ever owned and driven. Still waiting for the day I can afford and am crazy enough to bite the bullet of BMW ownership and running costs.

Funny thing is my dad and I were talking about how fast cars are now (well sporty cars) after getting blasted by an f-type r - he had a 1987 Porsche 911 Carreras for 20 years. He sold it 4/5 years ago. He never replaced it - his a4 Quattro avant was just as fast in pure terms (0-60 in 6.6 seconds, faster point to point) - but nowhere near as involving. Both of us would take the older option and spend the change on something outrageous for the track thanks!

10:00 *EDC:* This stands for "Elektronische Dämpfer Control". In "P" mode the car will recognise if you're driving normally or throwing it about. If you start doing the latter it will automatically switch in to "S" (Sport" mode) i.e. with a stiffer damper setting without you having to manually invoke it.

Nice! Very classic looking, but still modern enough, sounds quite fruity too. (8:10 to 8:30) However, given how popular it is with the car community, I think the E60 M5 Touring will have more icon status, because not as many people know about this as they do the E60. Top Gear driven it, Tiff Needell made a great review of it, both the saloon version. But Fith Gear did do a E60 M5 Touring “Race to Valencia” review.

If you want an e34 m5 to go fast you really have to work it. It’s all part of the ‘90s charm. Just curious, did you find the idle a bit lumpy? I find these engines don’t like to stay under 2k rpm.

Hey Sam, I know you were mentioning about the video not doing as well as you expected (and maybe it being to do with it being an older car) on the podcast. My two cents: the video took a long time to get going with a lot of admin and updates at the beginning. My feel is that its paced a bit slow and the m5 is just an ending rather than the topic of the video. Not sure if you were trying to stretch out or something but thats my feeling, I was interested in the my but nearly clicked away tbh.
