It was born from the demand for an automobile with the carrying capacity of a sedan but the overall performance of a sports car. It utilized the 535i chassis and an evolution of the engine from the BMW M1. At the time of its launch, the E28 M5 was the fastest production sedan in the world. The European-specification examples featured 10.5:1 compression, a 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds and 286 horsepower. All M5s were hand built. In addition, the E28 M5 remains the rarest of all regular production derived M cars. Only the purpose-built M1 has a lower production run.
