BMW M5 History

The classic BMW M5 is a performance legend, evolving through seven generations since its 1984 debut. Early E28 models, hand-built with the M88/3 engine, set the world standard for fast saloon cars. The E34 brought subtle styling, iconic colours like Mugello Red, and limited UK and anniversary editions.

The E39 (1998 - 2003) introduced the revered S62 V8 in colours such as Le Mans Blue. V10-powered E60/E61 models featured Silverstone II, while the bi-turbo F10/F90 generations offered bold hues like Marina Bay Blue and Monte Carlo Blue, always blending innovation with classic M heritage.
