WHAT IS IT?
For North American long-roof fanatics, it’s an uber sexy fever-dream–An E34 M5 Touring, a car we never got but one we can now own via the 25-year rule. This car is just insanely desirable in Avus Blue, it’s one of just 891 produced, as a RoW car, it has the full 340 horsepower, the classic “Throwing Star” wheels and of course a five-speed manual gearbox. More powerful (and cheaper) than an Audi RS2 Avant and RWD to boot, the site editors are currently pondering a Go Fund Me.
WHY THIS CAR HAS BEST ONE ON THE PLANET CHOPS
We love immaculate, higher-mileage cars, if for no other reason, to disprove the perception that all Best One on the Planet Nominees have to have freakishly low miles. This one has never been out of Germany, and has had only three loving owners, all of whom appear to have taken an extreme open checkbook approach to maintenance. The Dutch seller is supplying everything from records, to paint-thickness readings for what purports to be all original paint. The engine compartment and underside and black leather sport seats could pass for 44,000 miles. This M5 Touring looks like anything a BMW fanatic could want and a car that is sure to steal thunder from the hypercar owners at any cars and coffee.
