A true engineering masterpiece, the E34 M5 would teach many dedicated sports cars a few lessons in acceleration and road holding. The E34 generation was introduced in 1989 and used a 3.6 litre power plant producing 315 horsepower. This was 29 more ponies than the previous E28 generation and 107 more than the 535i model it was based on. 3 years later BMW increased the displacement from 3.6 to 3.8 litres and power jumped to 340 horsepower. This "straight six" engine coupled with a standard for 1989-1994 five-speed manual tranny allows the M5 to reach 60 mph in less than 6 seconds and the century mark in 14.4. The classic good looks of the M5 also helped it achieve a slick 0.32 coefficient of drag for the sedan, with a more box-like 0.36 rating for the wagon. By Traian Popescu
