Model history
The BMW M5 was first introduced in 1984 and is based on the 5 Series. Equipped with a modified M1 engine, it was the fastest production sedan of its time. Since then, the M5 has been built in every model generation with few interruptions. In addition to the classic sedan, it was also available as a touring model in selected years. To this day, the M5 stands for a unique combination of everyday practicality and high performance.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Mit der Einführung des M5 (E39) wurde der aus der M62-Motorenreihe weiterentwickelte S62-5-Liter-V8-Motor vorgestellt. Der dritte M5 wurde im Frühjahr 1998 auf dem Genfer Auto-Salon präsentiert und stand ab Ende desselben Jahres bei den Händlern. Im Gegensatz zu seinem Vorgänger wurde dieser nur als Limousine angeboten, der Kombi existierte nur als Prototyp. Um die Produktionskosten sowie den Produktionsaufwand zu senken, wurden die Unterschiede zwischen deutschen und nordamerikanischen Modellen des E39 M5 so gering wie möglich gehalten, sie sind äußerlich nur an den unterschiedlichen Blinkern zu erkennen. Weitere Unterschiede sind die Positionen der Abgaskatalysatoren sowie die vorderen Bremsscheiben, die bei den nordamerikanischen Modellen weniger hochwertig sind. Schiebedach und Lederausstattung gehörten bei den nordamerikanischen Fahrzeugen zur Serienausstattung, während bei deutschen Modellen das Schiebedach eine aufpreispflichtige Zusatzausstattung war. Jedoch wurden deutsche Fahrzeuge auch mit Alcantarainnenausstattung angeboten, die es für den nordamerikanischen Markt nicht gab. Insgesamt 20.482 Fahrzeuge wurden in drei Baumustern hergestellt, 9992 für Nordamerika, 2595 Rechtslenker und 7895 Fahrzeuge für den deutschen und europäischen Markt. Die Rechtslenker wurden größtenteils im Vereinigten Königreich, Australien und Südafrika abgesetzt, während in Japan trotz des dort herrschenden Linksverkehrs Linkslenker angeboten wurden, da sie unter japanischen Fahrzeugenthusiasten als prestigeträchtiger galten. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit ist elektronisch auf 250 km/h begrenzt, doch gab es außerhalb Deutschlands auch die Option, den M5 ohne Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkung zu bestellen. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit soll 300 km/h betragen. LG Tom
