E34 //M 20 Years Motorsport Edition

[mtechnik]

yup there are part numbers

[Mastrcruse]

I just contacted an interior place about it and he is going to check into getting the material. :p

[SchnellerVert]

Some reason you will probably need a chassis number in order to purchase this material from BMW. Since there were not that many made it's likely there aren't but a few bolts of fabric out there.

There's a couple other really cool/rare E34 M5 editions, similar to the E30 M3's Cecotto/Ravaglia/etc.

E34 M5 Elekta:
At the request of several Italian BMW dealers, a limited edition of 20 E34 M5 Touring "Elekta" editions was produced by BMW Individual exclusively for the Italian market in June and July of 1995. These were offered in a choice of two unique color schemes: Sterling Silver metallic (244) with an extended Marine Blue Nappa leather interior and matching carpeting or British Racing Green (312) with an extended Hazlenut (also referred to as Tobacco) Nappa leather interior and Mexico Green carpeting. Both schemes also included a black leather dashboard and door tops (normally offerd only as part of the Complete leather interior). All of these Tourings were further equipped to a very high specification including Shadowline trim, dual power sunroofs, power front seats with driver-side memory and automatic climate control. Some examples were also fitted with a metal insert on the shift knob inscribed with "Elekta" and each unique car number in the edition of 20.

E34 M5 LE:




To commemorate the end of right-hand drive E34 M5 production, 50 examples of the E34 M5 Limited Edition were assembled between March and June of 1995 in one of two unique color and trim conbinations: Rosso Red metallic (369) with a Champagne extended leather interior and natural poplar wood trim (15 built) or Orinoco metallic (406) with a Bicolor Petrol and Mint extended leather interior and graphite bird's-eye maple wood trim (35 built). Each E34 M5 Limited Editon is equipped with the three-spoke sport steering wheel, Shadowline trim, power sunroof, power front seats, headlight washers and manual air conditioning. A numbered plaque appears on the center console.

E34 M5 Cecotto:
In 1991, BMW asked two of its racing drivers to design their own ideal version of an E34 M5. One of the drivers was multiple Touring Car champion Johnny Cecotto. His ideal M5 was one fitted with a full host of luxury items. BMW M then offered the public a package of features based on this ideal M5.

A total of 22 Cecotto M5s were produced. They were available in either Lagoon Green metallic (266) or Mauritius Blue metallic (287) and included the following special equipment:
-Servotronic power steering
-Full Bicolor Napa leather (Silvergray/Light Silvergray or Parchment/Light Parchment) including the steering wheel hub, column and horn pad
-Wood trim
-Power sunroof
-Heated, power front seats with driver's memory
-Heated rear seats (no center console) with power headrests
-Automatic climate control with microfilter
-Headlight washers
-Special leather service book pouch, key holder and gold pin

E34 M5 Winkelhock:




In 1991, BMW asked two of its racing drivers to design their own ideal version of an E34 M5. One of the drivers was Joachim Winkelhock, known for his success on the racing circuit with the Schnitzer E30 M3. His ideal M5 was a lightweight edition, stripped of all but the most performance-oriented items. BMW M then offered the public a package of features based on this ideal M5.

A total of 51 Winkelhock M5s were produced, all painted Jet Black (668) with contrasting lower body panels in Sterling Silver metallic (244) and including the following special equipment:
-Smaller battery* (66 volt versus 85 volt)
-Smaller gas tank* (80 liters)
-Reduced sound deadening material*
-Deletion of power rear windows, rear headrests, fog lights, headlight washers, vanity mirrors*
-Wider 255/40ZR17 rear tires on 9x17 M System I alloy wheels
-Suede-covered steering wheel, shift knob, shift boot, parking brake handle
-Evolution front sport seats in M cloth with Anthracite leather bolsters
-Red seat belts front and rear
-Special leather service book pouch, key holder and gold pin
*These changes reduced the curb weight of the Winkelhock M5 by 88 lbs. compared to the standard M5.

In addition, the option list was reduced to the following:
Rear spoiler, power sunroof, rear sunshade (manual), floor mats, radio, Shadowline trim, air conditioning (with 85-volt battery)

^^hmm thnx for that extra info :top: !!

[mikeedler]

pretty interesting,
what I find cool is, the E34 m5s are more rare than the E30 M3s, there were a few thousand less built as far as i remember, and they didnt get all cool with to many of them.

BMW still does this stuff, and I think it is just to keep interest up, esp. before a new model comes. last week I serviced a VERY nice e46 330i touring, the trimming was awesome, and the original BMW door steps had "33" on them. dont really know what it means, but it had alot of alcantar in it, and I am sure it is going to be a collectors item one day.
