  • @m5boarddotcom the camera is in the... 540?

  • @jacun80 It's the same......

  • Who is winner?

  • nice race!

    i too would like to see an E39 540i vs E34 M5.

    I have a 6 speed E39 540i with M-sport package. Black on black with tinted windows. a real demon!

  • @hormigaZ I'm a proud owner of a 1995 540i m sport 6 speed. I love mine too.

  • @hormigaZ

    Of the 3,910 3.8-liter E34 M5s produced, how many were the later six-speed manual version?

    BMW M GmbH produced 752 examples of the later E34 M5 3.8 six-speed, divided among the following configurations:

    ECE 3.8 sedan six-speed (LHD): 404 produced

    ECE 3.8 Touring six-speed (LHD): 209 produced

    ECE 3.8 sedan six-speed (RHD): 139 produced

  • The final evolution of the E34 M5 entered production in May of 1994 and included the following upgrades:

    -Getrag Type D six-speed manual gearbox

    -Enlarged brake rotors with two-piece "floating" front calipers

    -Thicker rear anti-roll bars (19mm on sedans, 20mm on Tourings) from the discontinued Nürburgring Package

    -EDC mode switch from the discontinued Nürburgring Package

    -Staggered 18-inch M Parallel Spoke wheels with 245/45ZR18 tires

    -Widened front "kidney" grilles with revised hood to match

    I also got e34 540 and I love it too.answer for that is 400Nm which is more then m5 :D

  • @hormigaZ

    1995 BMW M5 E34, Nürburgring Edition (aka. "Nürburgring KDC pack") 6-speed manual gearbox, 354hp, adjustable suspension, 420Nm of torque. 2300 were made, 10 of them located here in Finland. Compare that to a 2002 MB C32 AMG: Supercharged V6, 354hp 450Nm.

    Rarity value pretty much same (maybe more?) as the 540i, but in the end, as I said, real hand built M-cars were always ahead of the other powerfull BMW cars (even the plain M-sports), because those engineers knew what they were doing.

  • @FrozenBlaze In the end, the M5 sacrificed a lot of power band through low revs to earn 60more BHP that make nearly no diference. You can skip that difference by simple drag in a race. Both of these cars are lovely and must be taken care of. More the 540i 6speed manual, because it is rarer than the M5 and even more to find a good one with someone that would let if off
