E28 is nice and yeah E39 is cool and all but E34 is peak M5 for me, especially in Daytona Violet.Sorry, y’all. Can’t beat this overall. I don’t care about 700bhp+ and all the “i” stuff. I can see how it’s related to the E39. God bless everyone that embrace all that tech. I still use a key & tumbler to lock and unlock my car door.

E39 is the pinnacle of BMW, the perfect blend of elegant design, performance, and luxury. Older cars were just that, old, and weren't really all that premium.
Plus, it's famous for being the perfect choice to drive fast and far comfortably.
It is the perfect sedan.

why we still don't have either one of these cars: E28, E39, E34 in GT, it is beyond me... Kaz and PD should get out of their offices more often and get educated

This promo video is atrociious and my comment on it summed it up.
I did say before when they showed that leaked rear quarter it be ugly, so low and behold.
I wonder what kind if tasteless asshat BMW M marketing is targeting.....?
For me the best was in this order:
4. E60
3. F90,
2. E28,
1. E39!!! all the way.
edit add: found this in the archives, noice!!!
So cool retro classic goodness!!

I officially cannot call myself a BMW fan now... Less so than ever at least...
BMW is no longer talking to me, And I feel BMW Division has lost the plot...
More than ever, Miata is the answer.
This is the least M5 of all the M5, ironically despite having the most amount of power....
Too much and roo expensive for what it is...
Why ? Who is going to buy this car ? For what purposes?
I can guarantee the person buying this car will not use it for what or how much power it has... This is all gonna go to waste....
If that's the new definition of luxury, I want none of it...
Stupid and pointless IMHO
But I guess BMW doesn't care, as long as there is money going to them.
And so i too can play that game, no longer care about how stupid this is getting for BMW
I am moving on, BMW has truly defaced the one M cars that I thought BMw would have not dared comprising.
So long suckers at BMW
Edit: the car is not terrible, but the image they are tying to convey about it and the people they are trying to chase and what this car has become is just no longer what it's predecessors have so carefully crafted their image... This car is drifting away and shredding its previous image for something I don't recognize anymore.
This is certainly an achievement for BMW, but I am really not sure they should have gone in this direction.
Marketing department is definitely aiming at people with money for which image of power is more important than anything in their life... "How to step over everyone else so that you can continue to be that egotistical selfish man"
Mpower is going down the drain in my eyes.
Edit 2: I really wish BMW took inspiration with the T.50
Less is more... More is not necessarily better.
The world cannot go to the more powerful...
It has to go to the people.

Obviously the customers that want one will buy one. It’s got all the lastest tech. It’s an auto. It has enough power to overtake many other powerful cars. It’s new.
M cars were never for the “normal” people. That’s what the 528e, 525, 530, 535, were for. Just like the first M5 was out of reach for “the people”, the new M5 is the same.
I mean, look… just like anyone could buy a 1987 Mustang LX four-cylinder, tick a box for the 5.0(4.9L) option and pretty much be as quick as an M car. Someone can buy a Mustang Dark Horse and damn near run with the new M5. The difference is the quality and top of the line exclusivity of what a person buys an M car for. Hasn’t changed in the life of Bayerische Motoren Werke Motorsport.

Touring looks better but is again literally weighed down by the thorny fact it weighs nearly 2.6 tons

So a little more than a Merc G-wagon and a little less then a Rolls Royce Cullinan. Sporty!

Imagine an M5 wagon weighing more than a T5 VW Caravelle... with 2 electric wheelchairs in it... It's just ridiculous.
