1994 BMW 5 Series M5 Touring

KEY FACTS A rare and potent modern classic performance estate, this E34-generation BMW M5 Touring is understood to be one of only 891 examples produced worldwide. Under the bonnet sits a 3.8-litre 'S38 B38' naturally aspirated inline-six, which sends power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. First registered in 1994, this example was previously registered abroad and is now registered in France. The odometer indicates 191,025 km, though this is not warranted. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This E34-era M5 Touring is finished in the striking shade of Violet Daytona over a black synthetic suede and 'Hurricane' cloth-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 17-inch 'Throwing Star' alloy wheels fitted with GT Radial SportActive tyres. Equipment includes a top-tinted windscreen, the Nürburgring Handling package, Servotronic steering, a dual sunroof, a ski hatch, electrically adjustable heated front seats with three-position driver memory, and dual-zone climate control. This example has been fitted with an aftermarket media system. The car is accompanied by its original owner's manuals, service book, and two keys. The seller also has many of the original replaced parts available if the buyer is interested. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
