For anyone that enjoyed that M5 and the pre Chris Bangle cars, this is a nice coffee table book. Those 3 to 5 liter V8s of the 1990s were sweet revving, as long as the Nikasil bore coating didn't peel off!:hugegrin:

I love e39s what are we talking about here?
I got a new history book on the cars as an early Christmas present (the hot button above), and it reminded me about the amazing e39 M5 which I had forgotten about. It should be noted that the e39 V8s didn't have the bore coating problem, which was like what happened to the Chevy Vega.Quote:

Right now he is working on an E53 converted to RWD, with 6.0/4l80 and a turbo.

I know a lot of people say the F platform is just not as good as the E but it is still a real impressive car.
My personal favorite M5 is the E60 V10 M5.
E28 or E34. Both, please.
