1986 E28 BMW M5 - Big Hair And Shoulder Pads.

Chris Harris shares his passion for his very own Original E28 BMW M5 from 1986, a time where we had big hair and thick shoulder pads. Bon Jovi had just released his new hit song "You give love a bad name", powered by a 3.5L Inline 6 this classic M5 churns out an impressive 256hp* and boasts a top speed of 238km/h and there is just so much charm in taking a large engine and placing it into a plush luxury sedan. Perhaps the modern day BMW M5 will be admired in the same light in 26 years from now. Enjoy the video!
