BMW M5 (E34) IMSA Supercar #2 David Donohue 1994

[05XR8]

BMW M5 IMSA Bridgestone Supercar Championship double-winner. The M5 “Supercar,” as it is known by enthusiasts, based on the second-generation ‘E34’ M5 Sedan, was a genuine giant-killer in a field of pure sports cars, winning both the 1994 and 1995 seasons of the Championship. The M5, propelled by its highly-developed and extremely powerful 450hp inline-6 engine, was never sidelined due to a mechanical failure during its charge to win the 1994 season with David Donohue at the wheel. The BMW advertisement to celebrate the 1994 Championship win used the following lines: “The 1994 IMSA Supercar Champion has something exotic Ferrari, Lotus, and Porsche competitors don’t. Four doors. Of course, come to think of it, the BMW M5 Sedan also has the trophy.”

My older brother still has his autographed poster from Donohue back then. 👍
