When it comes to performance that can also be used every day, BMW‘s M-powered lineup of vehicles has always been one of the most dominant forces in that pursuit. The M-car’s roots can be traced back to 1978, when the BMW M1 was unveiled. However, the M badge didn’t see widespread popularity until 1985, when BMW unveiled the M5 sedan. It was a hardened, race-ready version of the standard 5 Series sedan. It was universally loved, and the rest is history.
