E34

The E34 5 Series replaced the E28 and expanded the range with a more modern chassis and improved refinement. In the U.S., it was sold primarily as a sedan, with the Touring wagon also offered in limited form near the end of the generation. This generation ran through the mid-1990s before the E39 arrived.
