treone 645 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 This M5 just sounds stunning! 1990 and owner says just covered 65k kms and is a weekend drive. That colour and interior combo sounds cool but those Throwing Stars are frigging awesome! Any one know this car? http://www.driven.co.nz/news/lifestyle/me-my-car-the-art-of-understatement/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GorGasm 563 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Pretty sure the M5 wasn't in Ronin, just a cooking grade 535i. The Audi S8 was the Ronin car. Regardless, that silver M5 is a nice car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Ronin is rather all over the place. V6 sounding S8 (supposed to be a 4.2 V8) They used multiple 52Xi E34s with apparently, M3 sounds, as I was told by someone that owns an E34 M5, his M5 makes none of those sounds the car in the movie does. The tone between the cars is different. Either way, they did have nice car noises in the movie and are why I've owned 2 E34 over the years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr E34 11 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Hi Guys, this is my M5. I've owned a long list of mainly E34's but this is the best one, even the original floor mats are still secured with unbroken plastic lugs. It is essentially a 1 onr from new, the original onr purchased it brand new in HK & bought it here in 1995. He sadly passed away and the president of the BMW club appraised it & passed it on to the dealer principal at Claytons & he sold it it to me. Anything else of interest about the car?? With regards the movie Ronin, the car used was a manual 525i(M50 engine). Listen to the exhaust tone as it slides around,deep M50 tone & it has the std white needle dash. rgds Mr E34. edit: forgot to add it came with the original turbines & throwing stars(personally not fond of either) Edited March 15, 2017 by mr E34 Forgot 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
