BMW E39 M5 Wagon

It seems to be poring BMW M cars that have been wasting in storage. And in a way, it has! On Thursday, we saw the mind-boggling, hyper-cool E34 M5 Convertible that BMW stashed away for twenty long years. Today’s car isn’t nearly as crypto (meaning we’ve seen pictures of it before), but in a way it’s much, much cooler.

We posited that perhaps the E34 M5

is in fact the best M car of all. Well, here’s the truth — the E39 M5 is the one we want, hands down, 100%. We were just waxing poetical. E39 M5, every time over here, boss. Why? With that big fat 400 horsepower V8 and those conservative duds, the E39 is still the ultimate M sleeper. Er, that is, it would be if not for the E39 M5 Wagon.

   Yeah – this would have been so sweet. I would have bought one for sure. And it doesn’t make sense that the rear axle issue was the true problem for this not going into production.

   The M division has tons of experience working with this type of this and they would’ve been able to figure it out quickly.

   There’s a guy in the northeastern US who built his E39 m5 sedan into a wagon nd it’s a pretty cool car.
