The BMW 535i M5, produced from 1987 to 1988, was a high-performance variant of the E28 5 Series sedan, marking the debut of the legendary M5 model line. Built upon the already potent 535i, the M5 received a significant performance upgrade, driven by a 3.5-liter, naturally-aspirated inline-six engine. This powerplant, designated as the S38B35, delivered an impressive 286 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, catapulting the M5 to a top speed of 152 mph. Unlike the standard 535i, the M5 came standard with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, ensuring maximum driver engagement and control. To enhance handling, the M5 featured a sport-tuned suspension, wider wheels and tires, and an aggressive aerodynamic body kit. Distinctive styling cues included a blacked-out grille, a rear spoiler, and a unique set of BBS RS wheels, solidifying its visual distinction as a true performance car.

The BMW 535i M5 stands as a testament to the brand's dedication to performance and excellence. Its potent engine, precise handling, and iconic design made it an instant classic, capturing the hearts of enthusiasts and critics alike. Beyond its impressive performance, the M5 also offered a surprisingly comfortable and refined driving experience. Its well-appointed interior featured supportive sport seats, a comprehensive instrument panel, and high-quality materials throughout. Despite its relatively short production run, the 535i M5 left a lasting impact on the automotive world, cementing its status as one of the first true super-sedans. Today, the 535i M5 remains a highly sought-after collector's car, celebrated for its historical significance and enduring performance credentials.
