Warning: This video contains some NSFW language. The E34 BMW M5 first arrived in 1988. It was the successor to the original M5, the E28, and stuck with a straight-six engine even though many at the BMW M division at the time wanted a V-8 under the hood. Nevertheless, the car was one of the fastest sedans of its time, and with a bit of modification work it can even be one of the fastest cars of today.

Instead of one's own accord, a better instrument to consider when one is looking to speed up this process is a Camaro. MUST WATCH: Pro Drifter Pranks...
