Fifth Gear E34 M5 Beer Money

[EddyKicksAss]

3.5 Liter? I'm sure E34 M5s came with 3.6s and later with 3.8s.

[ThickLikePeanutButta]

Since when does an E34 M5 cost that much!? is this for real??...listings in Aus are around $30,000 so i dont know what the fuck is goin on here...

[frenchsalsa]

An incredible car for the money-- no doubt. Why few comments on how it drives, the sound it makes, how it behaves at the limit, and how one wishes the ride would never end... :o) !?

[kernals12]

That guy creeps me out

[ILoveBarcaNumberOne]

u can get the 340 bhp model

[dickcheese663]

i miss my e34....made it over 400K miles.....but still :(

[VhUgGz]

I wish an M5 like that was available for about $5,000 USD. :(

[PS2Gameplays]

@VhUgGz Can't buy one under 4000 gbp anymore too :(

[VhUgGz]

@PS2Gameplays I know... ;(

[PS2Gameplays]

@VhUgGz I found one for 3.4k GBP! bit . ly / w2pA0x

[VhUgGz]

@PS2Gameplays Nice! I don't live in Britain. Beent here tho, and the cars look tiny compared to the States. ;D

[PS2Gameplays]

@VhUgGz Never been to America, always wished to visit though.

[VhUgGz]

@PS2Gameplays I wouldn't understand why anyone would want to visit here. It's ugly and boring. Maybe a few days, but no more. If I was from Britain I'd go across Europe and North Africa, Middle East, East Asia, etc... but that's just my opinion.

[PS2Gameplays]

@VhUgGz I live in Ireland mate ;) , I've been to the UK, Germany, France, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, Italy, Egypt, Venezuela and Hong Kong. My next destinations are Australia, United States and possibly United Arab Emirates.

[VhUgGz]

@PS2Gameplays I have a friend from Ireland. I've only been to UK, Germany, France, Italy and Iceland. :( If I were you I'd definitely go to Dubai, then to Abu Dhabi. In Abu Dhabi they have Ferrari world. I heard Australia is cool, too. :)

[e30m3drift]

What movie is he talking about ???

[bugsy791]

i have an e34 528i

[lewis72]

@bugsy791

They never did an E34 528i !!

[bugsy791]

@lewis72 its a 520i with a 2.8 vanos......... wicked. mpowa 4eva

[lewis72]

@bugsy791

It's not exactly M Power though, is it?

[bmwe34530i]

@lewis72 of course it is! this is an amazing car and still puts alot of modern cars to shame! the 3.8 version develops 340bhp and will do 0-60 in 5.9 seconds un restricted there also capable of 180mph rather than 155mph

[lewis72]

@bmwe34530i

No, I wasn't on about the E34 M5, I was on about bugsy791's 520i.

[bmwe34530i]

@bugsy791 e34's have never used vanos only on the 525 it was used and like bugsy791 says they never made an e34 528 well not for the uk market maybe in some countrys but i can asure you that car is a genuine e34 m5 a true enthusiast would no what they are looking at i own a e34 m5 3.8 and its a fantastic car you shouldnt judge a book by the cover.....

[E34Benzin]

That´s not a car, that´s a legend, a piece of automotive history... The E34 M5 is just epic.

[MrHenryDT]

The E34 styling is the best. It looks like a fucking man. The rest look like a Toyota's vagina.

[lovinlyfe4dub]

E34s are epic thanks fifth gear

[1995e34]

"the car made famous by the movie 'ronin'..."?????

is he thinking of the audi s8?

[MasterJ1986]

BMW vs Peugeot.

But that was a late 1994 E34 535i so the Peugeot 406 3.0 V6 can keep up with the BMW :D

[rellimtube]

@1995e34 There was a chase scene where Deidre was trying to get away from Sam. The M5 eventually crashed off an incomplete overpass.

[daZzleV]

huh 3.5l?

thought there are only 3.6 and 3.8

[FrozenBlaze]

@daZzleV

It depends on the country they sell it in and how the importer wishes to advertise the car.

The E34 M5's S38B36 engine in reality is a 3,56 litre engine, not 3,60 litre, so some countries say that it's a 3.5 litre. Same goes with the S38B38. It's advertised as a 3,8 litre, while it really is a 3,85 litre.

Because of this, in Japan for excample, the 3.8 litre version is known as a 3.9 litre.

[daZzleV]

@FrozenBlaze

ew ok thanks for the information

[jordub]

e34 is the most attractive sedan ever crafted.

[EccentricE86]

description about german builders is priceless.

[picka313]

fifth gear talks too much they should stfu a bit more and drive much more.... ._.

anyway - e34 is the best bmw

[Mateusz5431]

///M5 ->3.5L ?? Chyba Cie poj*bało dziewczynko. Widać jak anglicy sie znają :D:D:D.hahaha. idiots

[Kochiminator2]

3.5litre? in germany we had 3.6 and 3.8. so is it a mistake that the speaker did or is it another type in gb?

[chuddnutts]

i own the 3.8 m5 and trust me theres more to worry about then the dash...... mine is in mint condition and only done 85k miles and boy is it expensive to keep it that way

[iMiEbAbY]

FANTASTIC CAR! BMW ///M5 POWER!

[Sylwano1989]

Zajebista sprawa :D

[MrBasbmw]

I WISH I HAD ONE!!!

[holamellamanloco]

//AMG

[munteanuioan]

@holamellamanloco :P:))

[jonmns77]

Cant remember this from ronin, i can remember an audi s8. There was no m5 in ronin.

[trdnismoguy]

what movie is he talking about i tried to look it up but i couldnt find it :( please let me know

[Futurecop23]

@trdnismoguy The movie is called "Ronin"!

[armancz]

if the most important thing to check from the whole car is the state of digital dash than you can go terribly wrong buying an m5 :) anyway, my dreamcar :drool:

[lilstathaki]

@armancz i might get one =D red with 55k miles !!!!!

[armancz]

you bastard!

just joking :D

[lilstathaki]

@armancz =D haahaaa

[tacktaks]

"if the most important thing to check from the whole car is the state of digital dash "

It's not, this guy just doesn't know what he's talking about. Suspension and engine/transmission are the key areas, the E34 dash rarely/if ever has pixel problems. That's a common fault of newer cars, E38/E39, not so much the earlier cars

[armancz]

exactly :)

[charlesaferg]

@tacktaks Actually, he does. He never referred to pixels, he's referring to the capacitors going bad. In fact, all the E34s had this issue, and it's occurred in my car twice in the time I have owned it. Not just the circuit board, though, check the connections. I made the mistake of replacing the board with a rebuilt board, and it actually solved little of my problems the second time, because I just had loose/bad connections elsewhere.

[robertop88]

Full video is watch?v=3hP0biqQ1UI

The next two cars are a joke compared to the e34 m5. This guy really needs to shave his terrible sideburns and soulpatch. I hate everyone on fifth gear except tiff.

[hassoonee]

where is the rest of the vid :(

[dartasweideris]

3.8engine is better :)

[bimmerboy8]

hello , i have bmw e34 525sport .I have a m5 boot infill on it but it looks like it is missing a rubber around the boot lock .Does anyone know if the panel should have a rubber plug ??

[etherealfilms858]

that was a real m5 in ronin. it had the directional 17 inch turbine wheels as well as the m5 front and rear bumpers. the one they crashed was a 535. sometimes the turbines look like 15s with thin whitewalls.

[courageousjake]

They rebadged a regular E34 in Ronin. I bought a E34 M5 2 years ago for $10,000 on eBay. It had all the receipts, inspection 2 done, etc. It's been rock solid for 12,000 miles, and is at 162K now. A little valve clatter at idle, and timing chain guide whine, and needed new oil pan gasket, plus I converted to R134 when it turned out the compressor was bad. That's all typical , and so it running past 250K without any motor probs. My old E28 went 350K and still runs fine, just leaks:)

[hutchydogg]

@courageousjake why u tellin us for :L

[courageousjake]

@hutchydogg I'm telling you so that other people considering an E34 M5 purchase have some idea about it's common issues, reliability, and how suited it is to being a daily driver. Isn't this video about buying a secondhand E34 M5? Yes it is. Seems like my comments were very appropriate.

[zm321]

I think in Ronin that in some shots a regular E34 was used and possibly an M5 in others. And yes the guy in this video is clueless; just a typical journalist!!

[senecadream]

Checked Ronin... there are scenes that show the "M5" badge on the back... although the plain wheels make it look like a typical 5-series E34.

[em11613]

I crashed BMW like this but ill buy it again...

[chaga123]

thanks for killing off an unique and priceless endangered species

[em11613]

but not m5 man :] it was 525 :]

[AttiM3]

535

[ponchoyo]

still.. it's an e34, one of the last true bimmers. i wish i could buy one.

[iwousa]

First... , in the movie Ronin it was not M5, just regular E34

Second, this guy doesn't have much idea about E34 M5's....... and the "common" problem he is talking about in reality it's nothing compare to other issues that you have to consider with this car...

E34 are one of the most beautiful cars in the world !!!!!

[froulopoulo]

you are tottaly right!

[greenberet2]

It was in Ronin, you can see the M badges front and back, the video's on here somewhere. But not driven by De Niro, Natascha McElhone

[rviradia]

I think ronin had an alpina

[E60BMWM5]

Legendary car... It was in the unforgettable movie Ronin... Driven by De Niro

[bimmerboy8]

De Niro Drove The Pug

[wrightman90]

yeh

[paule34drift]

Beautiful car...

[scratchymaster]

aarrggm where's the other beer cars?
