First Ethan, I run a 3:91LS as well, My Meek E28 (archive)

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?

Whatever is Tuned and stock and I gave "Props" to the fact that this car probably needed to be tuned, obviously since the valves were so Loud. But I will say if it takes 4500 to get your car to start to puLL it better Pull real Hard when it gets there because I would be gone by then.Mine hits Like a train at 3000 and pulls to 6000 nicely. Nothing to slam M5's but just an observation on this particular car.
