Ronin's Cars (450SEL 6.9, M5, S8, XM)

Shockingly, I own Ronin on DVD. I rarely watch it from beginning to end. Rather, I just watch the chase scenes. It was not until yesterday that I realized that I have covered all the major cars in the film on this blog.


E34 535i that looks kinda similar to an M5

The E34 used in Ronin was actually just a 535i with M5-wheels (although the wheels change in some scenes). You can tell it doesn't have the M5 bumpers or instrument cluster. It's a UK-registered 535i. The director John Frankenheimer is said to be a fan of M-cars and did not want to wreck an original M5 (535's are a lot cheaper too).

Thanks Edvin. You are correct. I will make the requisite changes.
