Design Highlights:
- The front end of the M5 Touring features an aggressive production-spec nose with large trapezoidal openings and air curtains on the outer edges. The headlights include vertical running lights.
- Moving towards the rear, an extended roofline creates the wagon body, with a slight curve to maintain a sleek profile.
- The wheels showcase an intricate dual-spoke design that converges towards the center hub.
- As a wagon, the M5 Touring boasts a hatchback rear end, providing improved cargo space compared to the sedan variant. The lower rear fascia features a boxy design housing quad exhaust pipes, two on each side.
Performance:
- Both the M5 sedan and wagon are expected to use a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine paired with an electric motor, similar to the BMW XM Label Red. This powertrain delivers 738 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, although the output for the M5 Touring may vary.
History of M5 Touring:
- BMW has produced only a limited number of M5 Touring models for customers in the past, with the first one arriving in 1992 and a V10-powered version in 2007.
Competition:
- The new BMW M5 Touring will hit the market around the same time as its German competitors, including an updated Audi RS6 Avant and a forthcoming Mercedes-Benz E63 wagon.
The BMW M5 Touring is eagerly awaited by enthusiasts, offering a high-performance wagon option in a market with limited choices.
