The Original Story of the BMW E34 M5 Touring
The original car that this 1/18 scale model is based on is the BMW E34 M5 Touring. This special generation, the BMW E34, was produced from 1988 to 1996. The E34 M5 Touring was specially developed by the BMW M GmbH and represents a cool mix of performance and practicality in a sleek body shape. Claus Luthe was the main designer behind the E34, and he managed to create a car that continues to be respected and admired to this day. This generation followed the E28 and brought significant improvements in tech and design. The M5 Touring itself was an extension of the sedan version, giving customers the chance to enjoy sporty driving with the added benefit of a wagon.
Tech Specs and Highlights of the E34 M5 Touring
The BMW E34 M5 Touring came equipped with a powerful 3.8-liter (2.3-gallon) inline-six engine, delivering around 340 horsepower. When it hit the market, the M5 Touring was one of the few sports wagons available, making it really special. The developers and engineers at BMW, including chief engineer Wolfgang Reitzle, fitted the car with an innovative suspension and modern technology. In 1992, when the E34 M5 Touring was released, significant events were also happening, like the release of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and the signing of the Maastricht Treaty, giving some context to this era.
