Thanks to Duke of London, I go for a drive in an extremely rare BMW E34 M5 Touring. Less than 1,000 of these cars were made back in the mid-90s and it represents an iconic era for the brand.
From BMWblog.com:
The E34 was the first generation of M5 to come in wagon form and it had more power than any other M car before. Its 3.8 liter straight six was also the largest displacement six-cylinder engine of BMW’s modern era.
That bigger engine makes 340 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque and it delivers both in a linear, mechanically delicious manner. It’s a proper ‘six that engine.
Capable of 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and available only with a manual transmission qualifies this M5 Touring as probably one of the rarest M5 around. That’s about MINI Cooper S speed today but it was very quick back in the early ’90s.

Great stuff Sam 👍. I think it’s already a classic though.
You’re probably right there
@@seenthroughglass you just gonna ignore that absolute banger of a username?
Bro you’ve been on UA-cam for 13 years that’s properly og
This is why I love this channel. Who else of the big car UA-camrs cover more unusual cars like this. We've all seen Performante's, Bentayga's and 911's, but a 90s fast estate is something else.
Can't believe you did't jump at the opportunity to title this video "Driving my BMW to pick up another BMW to drive to BMW to get a part for my BMW"
I love watching you reaction Sam, it makes me chuckle every time. You Gotta love those old MPower cars.
Ha, thanks for tuning in
Personally I wish that car makers would reinstate performance estates instead of SUV’s because they look cooler and definitely drive better
Surely C63s, E63, RS4, RS6, Panamera all tick that box? M340 Touring just about does too.
I’ve been watching you since very early days. About 3 years ago I started drifting away for some reason but today I remembered about you and the growth is amazing!
I love these wagons. Thanks for making this video.

I was thinking of commenting something similar. You nailed it! Lol 😆
Love the Vlogy style videos! Keep up the hard work, all the best🙌🏻
Great Sam , love your honesty and enthusiasm. Look forward to your next video 😀👍🏼
Thanks for the vid Sam! Honestly had no idea E34 M5 wagon was a thing and it's absolutely gorgeous. Definitely in my dream garage now!
Superb review as always and brilliantly summed up at the end in terms of the usability vs value argument!
Great content these type of modern classics!
I bloody love your videos Sam!
Good video! Nice departure from the super cars into classic car territory. Much appreciated 👍🏽
I love these old school cars, they are fun to drive, proper cars and these old school bmws, mercedes, toyotas, lexus, hondas, and so on.
You keep outdoing yourself with these videos, Sam! Cheers from Bavaria
Amazing car! Like you said it would be for a collector or OG BMW enthusiast. As fast as new cars are there’s just something about old cars... love the rawness to them!
So happy to see this video!
I'm in the progress of getting a restored E34 520i and I can't wait. Sure it's not an M5 but still cool.
I'd take it in a heartbeat. Love old classics and wagons.
Awesome content Sam. Love it!
Iys great watching the content then being able to hear you and Tony on the podcast, keep up the great work 💪
Brilliant video Sam. Love the car. None of all this electronic stuff that the modern day cars have. Proper driving
Another amazing video Sam keep up the amazing work 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
You and your positivity has been what has gotten me through Architorture school. You and I are the same age and I love your videos and your outlook on life. Keep up the great work, Sam.
That’s awesome to hear. Thank you!
Another great video Sam! 🙌🏼
Thanks matey
It's a beauty. Already a classic
What an ICON, great video Sam!
Love the straight 6 M cars! Take my money sir
Great vid please please drive some more 90’s classics
E34😍 I love how analogue and tactile they feel, proper build quality from the way the door shuts to all the buttons/leather.
They don't make them like they used to😞
Even when the car is not so much of an interest to me, your content is always worth the time watchibg it!
Cool video Sam keep it up you best
"performance or plumpy" got me XD another great one Sam, keep it up
Just another level from the other car content on UA-cam. Thanks Sam.
Great content on such a icon (the car that is!). Looking forward to more vlogs like this in 2021...maybe even a road trip after the pandemic is under control!
Great! Now I want a 90's estate car. Thanks, Sam!
Great stuff Sam!!! I honestly believe you are one of the most underrated UA-cam-er. Your content is genuine and honest. Keep up the great work and please stay away from the hypercars, not like some of your fellow UA-cam-ers. I really hope you reach the million subs very soon!
Well, there goes my day. Going to be searching auto trader for 90’s estate cars now 😂
Man extremely great video ( one of my favourite about e34) Thats how you every journalist should drive and receive fun out of driving
Great video Sam 🙂👍
My dream BMW e34 touring!! What a beauty!!
This thing is the last m car completely hand built on different and dedicated assembly lines. Just for this reason it worth it
I had a 1994 3.8, Oxford Green. Try and find one now!! Brilliant car. Shame the estate was not built in RHD. It is definitely already a classic. Great Vid, thank you.
Great video!
Thanks!
The E34 might be my all time favourite looking BMW, such a sharp looking car!
What an epic car and engine
Love the video! One of my favourite BMWs! Long live the e34!
what a beast of a wagon
Always enjoy your Videos, keep up the good work!!!
The Quality you deliver is amazing!!
Really appreciate that
Estate + M5 + BMW = absolutely gorgeous car!😍
Amazing car!
Thank you, really enjoyed, a rather sunny and quite mellow vibe, perhaps time for Ivan the Volvo's Bavarian brother in the STG Garage, a manual Touring, now that would be so much fun 👍😎
Haha, about 40x the price of Ivan but a nice idea
Sam you’ve changed. Loved this. Time to revisit the CSL perhaps with fresh eyes!!?
Ha, I think almost certainly!
Okay so who else at 3:49 was trying to blow that hair off their phone!!
Cracking car btw Sam. Touring FTW as well 👍🏾
I used to call my mom's X3 the loaf of bread, because that's the most descriptive term I've found to describe the post electronic steering X3 beemers. First gen X1 Xdrive35i M Sport is where it's at. The MOST unassuming sleeper I've ever encountered that is generally driven by middle class soccer moms, and hands down best car my moms ever owned and driven. Still waiting for the day I can afford and am crazy enough to bite the bullet of BMW ownership and running costs.
Even the 540i Touring, is a great tourer.
Funny thing is my dad and I were talking about how fast cars are now (well sporty cars) after getting blasted by an f-type r - he had a 1987 Porsche 911 Carreras for 20 years. He sold it 4/5 years ago. He never replaced it - his a4 Quattro avant was just as fast in pure terms (0-60 in 6.6 seconds, faster point to point) - but nowhere near as involving. Both of us would take the older option and spend the change on something outrageous for the track thanks!
E34 M5s and e39 M5s truly no other bmw can top it. The values yes. Are going up. But worth it. Every. Single. Penny.
Love an M5 touring. Proper M engines were always high revving and need to be spanked. Much like the E30 M3. Inspired my #bmw16v02 resto mod build too.
They just look right!
Had the same happen to me with my VW LT van. Stole the wing Mirror. The whole assembly! . Broke the glass to get in and get it off but did a very neat job and even left me all the bolts neatly on the seat 😏
Amazing car. Had one 10 years ago...
Great car
Good video.
It already is an icon!
Oooo finally.. a car that I LOVE
Tony would love this
It's already an icon!
Nice to know Seen Through Glass was in north-west London!
What a beautiful machine! I think STG HQ holds room for one more ^^ Plus you don't have to travel far to pic it up. Must be quite tempting to have it this close, I bet you're checking up on it every couple of minutes
Damn Silver is an understated colour!
Great vid. I really miss the E34M5 I had a couple of years ago. Sold it when prices were as low as they could. The guy who bought mine sold it a few years later for 4x the money. 😪
Thanks for the watching! So many stories like this. Just got to enjoy the cars for what they are and not kick yourself if they end up becoming crazy valuable
That engine note 🎵
Also Sam you may not think you are leading the way in fashion but you've just inspired me to buy a plaid shacket, I'm not likely to pair it with a fluorescent orange hat mind you...
undercover po-po! :D ... great video Sam.
What a brilliant, entertaining reveiw! Well done Sam,... class in a glass 👍
Ivan replacement? 🤩
That’s one cool car! I’d be happy having a regular 520i let alone a M5 Touring 😍
Agreed! It’s got the old school cool vibe about it
So cool 😎
Sam you need to add one of these to the collection!!
Last M5 hand made 🙌
Love it mate! Watched every single video through lockdown, always looking forward to a Sunday with an STG video and a coffee. Use the behind the glass during the week while I'm working. Thank you Sam :)
Nice Beemer.... always liked the look. And my word for the week is Plumpy 😂
Love the vids, you should do more Benz videos.
Estate wagons are really good cars! The M5 was very surprising!! Great car guy content!
Hi Sam, maybe one of your future videos on modern classics will be with an italian icon: the 147 or 156 gta. Hope you don’t mind the suggestion.
Keep it up!👏🏼
What a car!! I've always loved fast estate cars!! Thank you for sharing this amazing one with us 👍
Thanks for watching!
@@seenthroughglass always a pleasure Sam... for many years already 👍😁 thanks for taking us on your epic journey!!
That is so cool of a car next to try is the v10 version
I do love this era 5 series! A very beautiful car. Wait a minute, you didn't fix the mirror yourself did you? Wow, I even noticed you 'wrenching' on the 500. Tavarish look out!
M5 e39 Touring next please ! 😍
I remember at one of my old jobs a colleague came in and said that her wiper blades had been stolen from her car, and everyone got a good laugh out of it. But seriously, who nicks some used wiper blades from a mk5 Fiesta? Why would you even risk the chance of someone catching you for that? 😂
I had no idea they made an M5 touring of this generation 😲
Pleasure Sam, I'll be sure to return for the left one and all 4 wheels... And next time I'm leaving my calling card!
Speedmaster love! I wear my pre-moon weekly, at least!
10:00 *EDC:* This stands for "Elektronische Dämpfer Control". In "P" mode the car will recognise if you're driving normally or throwing it about. If you start doing the latter it will automatically switch in to "S" (Sport" mode) i.e. with a stiffer damper setting without you having to manually invoke it.
Love the boxy design of that thing 😍
“To quote Hear’Say” hahah wow, now that’s a throwback lol
Haha, thought it was 90s appropriate
Love a fast wagon
Lovely Jubbly video, admire your honesty when reviewing cars like this.
Thanks matey
Current and future icon
love the sound of the old BMW door handles... isn't that weird...
to me it isn't...
