This automobile was a premiere for BMW M and at the same time the start of a success story: In 1979, the BMW M535i became the first vehicle produced in series from BMW M, back then still BMW Motorsport. The specialist press and customers received the strongest BMW E12 5 series with something approaching euphoria, coining phrases like “M for Muscles” or “The Bavarian Power Station”. When the BMW M535i was launched in 1980, it brought worlds together which had hitherto been separate: sporty driving, comfort and elegance and all in the dimensions of a top-of-the-range limousine.
