Doug DeMuro tests the E28 BMW M5 in this video.
The E28 M5 hails from a time in BMW history when everything was thoughtfully designed. Even the majority of the E28 M5's peculiar features made logic, such the curiously offset exhaust that was positioned there due of the spare tire well.

575 Horsepower Supercharged BMW M3 E46 Is A Real Hoot

Rare BMW M535i Lightweight E12 Spent 31 Years in a Garage
When the first M-badged 5 Series went into production in 1980, it was the BMW M535i. Since the first M5 was introduced with the E28, there was no full-fat M version of the E12. Only 1,410 M535i vehicles in total—960 LHD and 450 RHD—were produced in Germany, making it a rare breed.
