The engine feels even better than its specs. It is smooth, responsive, and ungodly strong. It reacts to sudden full throttle with softness only below 3000 rpm. By 3500 RPM, it wakes up, and at anything over 4000 RPM, it just storms!. All the cams and gears, tappets and chains harmonize to the slightly throaty intake honk and exhaust growl. The M5 even lopes faintly at idle, in fine muscle-car tradition.
Though burdened with 3846 pounds which is 342 more pounds than the original 1987 M5. This S38 B36 engine launches the 1991 M5 lustily. Testing at the time reveals that it does 60 MPH in 5.6 seconds, and 100 MPH in 14.5. The quarter-mile printout reports 14.2 seconds at 99 mph. The M5 is still accelerating when the fuel injection's speed governor says, "Sorry, that'll have to be enough," at a true 155 mph. These are all record numbers for a genuine production four-door sedan in it's time. The M5 even stomped what was some fast cars in it's day, such as the Nissan 300ZX Turbo, Mercedes 500SL, and Corvettes.
This is a two owner low mile M5. It has always been garaged and well cared for. It had all of its original paint with absolutely no rust before its full refresh. It was just some wear scratches at the door entries and some nicks that did not allow it to be a proud M5. We fully documented its condition including pictures with a paint meter on all body panels showing a no paint work vehicle. We documented it's past and set out to make a Beautiful TOY for some lucky BMW enthusiast.
