Hello! My name is Mantas, and ever since I was a child, I have been passionately captivated by cars. Near my hometown, there was an autocross track, and we often went there with my parents to watch the races. I guess that’s what nurtured my love for cars.
After asking my parents, I started receiving a subscription to the car magazine AutoBild. It was always exciting to read articles about the latest innovations and interesting facts from the automotive world. The most memorable article for me was about Formula 1, where I learned that an F1 car weighs exactly 600 kg—no more, no less.
Moreover, there was the Top Gear TV show. It was one of my favorite programs—witty hosts, incredible cars, and mind-blowing special episodes. Meanwhile I was still a student, I saw an Audi RS8 on this show for the first time. To me, it looked like a spaceship. Those sleek lines and that iconic grille completely mesmerized me. That’s probably why my first cars were from the Audi brand.
Looking back at my teenage years, a BMW E36 appeared in my group of friends. It captivated me with its design and powerful engine. Subsequently, another friend bought a BMW 5 Series E34, and that car completely stunned me.
The BMW M5 E34 is like a beast wrapped in an elegant shell. Its S38B38 engine, produced between 1991 and 1995, delivered an impressive 335 horsepower. That power and engineering completely captured the imagination of a young boy.
So, I’m sharing this with you—my dream car, the BMW M5 E34!
Lastly, I want to express my passion for cars with all of you!
