As we prepare to welcome a new 5 Series, an opportunity to revisit the glorious first
. The G60 is a hugely significant 5 Series, too, though it can feel like they all are at the start. Not only is the electric i5 available alongside the combustion-powered models from the get-go, but there’s also going to befor just the third time in the near-40-year history of the M-badged flagship. So that’s something to be excited about.
It's hard to imagine the 5 Series without an M5, but the entire first generation existed without one. There was an M535i, yes, and the exceptionally rarefor South Africa, but no fully-fledged M car. This makes sense, actually, because M Division was only formed in the same year as the first 5 Series arrived - that’s how old BMW’s standard bearer is. Which was kind of forgotten about in the inevitable 50 years of M celebrations last year.
In fact, even for those who knew nothing about the thread, the advert is chock full of information that points to considered, careful ownership. When things like the differential have been changed for better high-speed cruising, it’s clearly been a real passion project. If you haven’t got time for the entire thread, flick through the advert, because it’s a really heartening read. Nothing has been skimped on, and the results speak for themselves.
It's pointed out in the forum that the E12 doesn’t really seem to get the love of later 5 Series, and perhaps that’s because there wasn’t an M5; even the M535i has only recently become a prized asset. But for those after a classic straight six, manual BMW,is more affordable than similar contemporary models - have you seen how much an E24 6 Series is these days? Here’s an incredibly rare, exceedingly handsome, lovingly cared for old BMW for £17,995.
