What is an E34 M5 Cecotto edition?
In 1991, BMW asked two of its racing drivers to design their own ideal version of an E34 M5. One of the drivers was multiple Touring Car champion Johnny Cecotto. His ideal M5 was one fitted with a full host of luxury items. BMW M then offered the public a special edition model based on this ideal M5. A total of 22 Cecotto M5s were produced (20 production and two pre-production) during the Spring of 1991, split evenly into two different color and trim combinations: Lagoon Green metallic (266) with a Bi-Color Parchment + Light Parchment complete Nappa leather interior (including leather on the steering wheel hub, steering column and horn pad if not equipped with a driver-side airbag) or Mauritius Blue metallic (287) with a Bi-Color Silvergrey + Light Silvergrey complete Nappa leather interior (including leather on the steering wheel hub, steering column and horn pad if not equipped with a driver-side airbag).
