FactThe E34 M5 Touring holds a quiet distinction: at only 891 built, it was both BMW M's first-ever estate car and the last M car ever assembled entirely by hand.
The first M5 wagon, hand-built in far smaller numbers than the E34 M5 sedan and never sold in the US. Shared the sedan's S38 straight-six, later enlarged to 3.8 litres, in a Touring bodyshell — a template BMW would not repeat until the F90 generation decades later.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

This M5 is a plug-in hybrid that's roughly 500kg heavier than the last one — the first time in M5 history the new model's power-to-weight actually went backwards.
The M5 CS has four bucket seats with the Nürburgring track layout printed on the headrests.
The F90 M5 holds a genuine Guinness World Record: longest continuous vehicle drift, 232 miles on a wet skidpad.
This M5 broke two BMW traditions at once: the first ever with a turbocharged engine, and the first ever with a dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
The E60 M5 beat every rival sedan to a milestone nobody else has matched since: it was the world's first production saloon to use a V10 petrol engine.
BMW actually built an E39 M5 Touring wagon prototype — Titanium Silver with black leather — before killing it over cost, not performance.
The E34 M5 Touring holds a quiet distinction: at only 891 built, it was both BMW M's first-ever estate car and the last M car ever assembled entirely by hand.
The E34 M5 Touring wasn’t just BMW M’s first estate car — at only 891 units, it was also the last M car ever hand-built.
Only 187 E28 M5s were built for the UK market, all in right-hand drive and finished in one of three colours.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
