This is for the second-gen, which is already in the game

As the E30 M3 got rescanned for Forza, would be nice to get one of the E28 M5 - needs one pretty badly as well. This version would be best IMO as it’s the most refined, complete E28 M5.

Looks terrible as a American sepc.

Absolutely not, with those hideous American market bumpers, I’m sure even American M fans hate these

Euro version is absolutely hideous. And no, American M fans don’t hate these, quite the opposite.

This one is a lot better than the Euro spec.

The American version is hideous not the European version. The American bumpers are so terrible.

This is 100% incorrect

The bumpers on the American version are way too big lol. I totally agree with you.

Also is the E28 car model really not accurate?

I mean the car originates from Motorsport 4 back when they started doing laser scans.

It probably has worse specs than the European version as well much like the M635CSi.

Well I guess I stand corrected, guess I have an unpopular opinion but personally hate the way the Euro version looks. Hate the headlights and front / rear. But yeah the current model in game is old and feels it. Would be nice to get an updated E28 M5 just like the E30 M3.

Arent the head and tail lights the same on the Euro spec? The only real difference are the smaller bumpers and the more powerful M88 engine.

You’re naturally wrong, those American legislation bumpers ruin the lines of it, they’re the most hideous things ever, they ruin the car

Not to mention that the American spec version didnt get the M88 engine.

I also dont see any difference when it comes to the headlights and taillights between the 2 its just that one has smaller bumpers while the other has bigger ones. And the one with the smaller ones is way better.

You really want an uglier version of a car with an inferior engine? Just no
