There is only one reason to buy the 2020 BMW M5 2020 Edition 35 years 2020

Brands are always on the occasion of birthdays. BMW just happens to do it a lot. For the 2015 model year, BMW celebrated the 30th anniversary of the M5 with the "30 Jahre M5" edition. Now, the M5 is five years older and you know what that means. Say hello to the BMW M5 Edition 2020 35 years. Yeesh, it's a name.

The 35 year old edition is based on the current M5 Competition, which means that it has the same 617 horsepower engine. But it is painted in metallic gray with 20-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels and features black brake calipers, according to a press release.

All this is rather boring, if you ask me. The real reason to buy this car is inside.

It is clad in black and beige leather, but the finishes are finished in the image of what BMW calls "a carbon structure in gold anodized aluminum". They are found on the dashboard, door trim and center console. Gold is dangerous because it can be disgusting and sticky, but it works well here, I think.

This is the only discernible reason to buy the M5, a millennium old. Gray paint? Black wheels? That's all. Give me that golden and sweet interior you will not find on any other M5.

35 years ago, BMW introduced the very first M5 for the E28 generation. He used a naturally aspirated and detuned version of a six-stroke, a five-speed manual and a rear-wheel drive. The F90 generation today is far from the original in that it is equipped with all-wheel drive (sometimes), a twin-turbo V8 and an eight-speed automatic.

BMW limits the "M5 Edition 35 Jahre" to only 350 copies worldwide, including 35 in the United States. They will be available in the fall for $ 128,995. Do you think it's worth it compared to a standard M5 contest, which starts at around $ 110,000?
