Some of you may have seen the infamous video of a crazy Georgian terrorizing the streets in a E34 M5. Well, apparently he has died after letting someone else drive his car–into a tree. You can see the original video plus more pics from the wreck after the jump. And read the weirdly translated forum […] More »

It’s easy to become attached to a car after driving it for a long time. Most people give up before 200,000 miles at most, but some love their cars so much, they’re willing to hold on to it for much longer. I don’t blame Randy Balingit Hartmann, the owner of this e28 M5, for doing […] More »

Forum member, Christopher Hong, over at Bimmerpost just took his 2013 M5 (F10) to a two-day, BMW-run track event at famed Watkins Glen Int’l raceway in New York. He ran the long course (3.4mi) and was apparently at risk of lapping cars because the M5 is such a “beast,” as he says. Indeed. We say […] More »

That’s right, on May 11th, BMW broke the previous Guinness World Record for Longest Drift, almost seven miles, by 44 miles! The new record, set by an M5, now stands at 51.3 miles!

BMW accidentally posted official images of the facelifted 2014 M5 on its website, when the configurator was updated ahead of schedule. The current M5, which initially went on sale in 2011, receives very mild updates. The grille is modified to incorporate double vertical slats (like on the M6), rather than single ones; the headlights are […] More »

“It’s a good job,” says Sabine Schmitz, without a hint of understatement. In case you’ve been on Mars for the last twenty years and returned this morning, Ms. Schmitz is employed as the Nurburgring’s “taxi” driver and ferries people around the ‘Ring in a BMW M5. In the video, she discusses growing up in her […] More »

You’d think that tuning the M5 to 646 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque would be enough. A car like that shouldn’t need a dramatic commercial to show it off. And if you’re doing something like that, you need to at least be clever. This isn’t really either of those. It’s the opposite. In fact, it’s so […] More »
