cams and every mod you can think of. I'm not threatening anyones manhood, I'm only offering a ride in a well tuned M5.

Ok, I have one good mod... a 12 Lb. flywheel.



up. Come to California and you can drive a well maintained E28 M5 that will toast your meek little e28 whatever. My best friend has a well maintained 535is and it's quite nice, but my M feels like it has at least 30% more HP, especially after 3500 rpm.

Went to drive 88 M5 today to refamiliarize myself with the S38. I do not know if it was just me or what, plus I did not have my car to get right back in for the side by side comparison, but it did not impress me. The car that I drove definately needed the valves adjusted, sounded like a typewriter they were so loud.Maybe it needed a tuneup, and the last one I drove had a big $$ rebuild with chip and exhaust but this one did not impress me. I think my car pulls harder, definately handles better. This car seemed "heavy" and sluggish compared to my car. Is it just me or what?
