The BMW E28 M5 is the Most Driver-Oriented M5 Ever Made - ISSIMI

The E28 M5 simultaneously started the M5 dynasty which survives to this day and also inspired a renaissance of high performance sedans from other manufacturers. Each subsequent generation of M5 has gotten faster yes, but also softer: more sedan and less sport. In this video, Derek Tam-Scott explores the origins of the first ever M5, from the creation of BMW’s Motorsport division in the 1970s as a racing arm to run the CS, CSL and M1, to the debut of the first 5 series at the same time, the E12. He also drives the E28 M5 and discovers its dual personality. The average driver could use one of these cars for years without discovering that its limit behavior has a sporting purity that is engaging in a way that few modern cars achieve, sports or otherwise.
