BMW Sheer Driving Pleasure

[MrLC]

Perhaps the best looking 5 ever and one of the best sportsedan of all time.
Without doubt, a masterpiece

[dinodidic]

The most agressive and criminal looking bmw ever!!!!

[allmotorkp]

IMO the best 5 series generation. they were reliable and look classy.

[G_Kchrst]

Probably the most beautiful BMW ever made.

These were the gold times of BMW, after 2004 it all became kind of...soulless. Cars are like mobile phones, we all have new iPhones and Samsung's etc., but deep down we all know Nokia 3310 was the best phone ever. It's the same with old BMW's.

I really love my E34! Just did a suspension rebuild on it. Brake upgrade and minor oil leak fixes. Has 270k miles :D

BMW is the best car brand ever. I grew up with an e30, then an e34, an e39, an e91 and an e89 z4. I remember that when we sold our 528i e39, I cried for days. It was one of the saddest moments in my life. We have only had BMW's since I was born. I grew up with BMW's. That is why I love them.

Best looking 5 series BMW ever made, they should still make this body style with modern engines and interiors and just not change anything externally. I think they would sell like hot cakes.

[Carlino]

The e34 has much better looks than the e39.

[DannySNTV]

I'm a proud owner of a '93 E34 5-series daytona violet 525 tds, so comfortable and beautiful, i love it. A timeless classic.

[soundseeker]

E34 touring is one of my favorite ever estate cars! Still looks cool today. Practical + reliable + fun to drive + classy looks.... whats not to like?

[Adrian_The_Great]

Greatest 5 series ever. My e34 turns heads where ever I go...

[Crimithy]

1989 e34 535i was my first car. I’ll never forget it.

[bmxismylife]

Never really liked the wide grille version. I love my pre-facelift one.

[mro]

The best 5 series EVER.
The looks, the build quality ... THE DRIFTS :D

So good ... 2:14

My first BMW back in 2002. Gash I loved that car. I have always had a BWM ever since. At some point both my wife and I drove BMWs. Neighours called us the "Beamer family"

[christophteichmann]

I drove that car on the nürburgring. It was one of the best days of my life. the e34 is pure driving pleasure. I will always love that car.

[teerapote]

waiting for e39 episode to arrive it is my all time favorite 5 series ever.

[kairikkola]

I've had 3 E34's. Two 520's and 525. Best sedan ever. Greatest car ever, also E30 325 Will be on that list. Now I've got E90, E24 and E39 on my garage....

[joonyongshim]

I'm very impressed by introducing their old models
It means to me they have confidence of the product quality and always thinking about the sentiment of the past days making every new generation of 5series
Well done BMW
