The BMW E34 was produced from 1988 to 1996 and belongs to the third generation of the 5 Series. The E34 series represents the successor to the E28 and significantly contributed to the advancement of the executive sedan segment. The clear design lines and dynamic appearance of the BMW E34 were crafted by designer Ercole Spada. Even in its standard version, the vehicle impressed with high-quality craftsmanship and reliability. In terms of technology, the BMW E34 offered innovative elements such as the optional all-wheel drive system (BMW 525ix) and engines with double VANOS. Another highlight was the electronically integrated chassis technology, which made the BMW E34 a pioneer in this field.
The Hartge version of the BMW E34 H5 shown in the photo was upgraded by the renowned tuning company Hartge. Founded in 1971, Hartge is well-known for specializing in BMW vehicles. The company equipped the H5 with enhanced engines, sport exhaust systems, and special suspension components, further optimizing the driving dynamics of the original. Often, the H5 was fitted with a 3.5-liter engine (315 hp) that provided more power and driving pleasure. The distinctive Hartge wheels and aerodynamic parts also contributed to an unforgettable driving experience.
The scale model replica presented, in 1/18 scale, is from Otto Models and is an exquisite example of meticulous miniature construction.
