Hello Friends,
I am the proud owner of a 1987 BMW 535is. It is all stock and has a new head from BMW. It idles smoothly and pulls hard right into redline. How much better is the M5 over this car? Torque on the 535is isn't shabby. I know HP on the M5 is superior over the 12 valve counterpart. The M5 from what I understand needs constant TLC. I just wanted some input from the M5 crowd. Your Thoughts??
