The M5 Touring: Elevating Performance and Usability

The BMW M5 Touring redefines what it means to be a high-performance all-rounder. It combines the precision driving dynamics for which BMW M models are renowned with superior everyday usability and long-distance comfort. The Touring variant offers the spaciousness of a wagon without compromising on the jaw-dropping performance that defines the M5 name.

Under the hood, the M5 Touring features a high-revving 4.4-liter V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, paired with an electric motor as part of BMW’s new M HYBRID system. Together, they deliver a staggering 727 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque, making the M5 Touring a force to be reckoned with on both road and track. The hybrid system brings new dimensions of efficiency, power delivery, and driving excitement, resulting in a performance experience that’s nothing short of intoxicating.

Signature M Design with Unmistakable Style

From the moment you lay eyes on it, the BMW M5 Touring stands out. The prominent flared wheel arches, M-specific front and rear aprons, and M Light-alloy wheels give the Touring a muscular, powerful appearance. The elegant Isle of Man Green metallic paint finish further enhances its striking presence, while exclusive design elements like the M Kidney Grille with BMW Iconic Glow add a touch of brilliance to this already show-stopping model.

The athletic silhouette is unmistakably M, with its elegantly stretched roofline and model-specific roof spoiler that not only adds to the car's aesthetics but also improves aerodynamic performance.

Power Meets Practicality

This third generation of the BMW M5 Touring is not only about breathtaking speed but also offers impressive versatility. With ample load space, it is perfect for those who seek performance without sacrificing practicality. Whether you’re loading up for a weekend getaway or driving long distances, the M5 Touring ensures that every journey is exhilarating.

Inside, the M5 Touring offers an equally thrilling experience. The newly designed M leather steering wheel, panoramic glass sunroof, and ambient M-specific interior lighting create a luxurious and immersive driving environment. The M multifunction seats, upholstered in exclusive Kyalami/Black Merino leather, provide both comfort and a race-car feel, ensuring that you stay comfortable even on long drives.

Electrifying Performance in Every Sense

The M5 Touring’s M HYBRID powertrain draws inspiration from BMW's endurance racing machines. The plug-in hybrid system adds immediacy and relentless power delivery that sets new benchmarks for performance. With 727 horsepower and a top speed of 305 km/h (with the optional M Driver’s Package), this vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 11.1 seconds.

In true BMW M fashion, the M5 Touring handles with precision, whether you’re pushing it on the track or cruising on the highway. The M Sport exhaust system provides an exhilarating soundtrack to match its performance, while the M-specific all-wheel-drive system ensures you can harness all that power in any driving condition.

The Future of M Power

The arrival of the BMW M5 Touring in the U.S. marks a new era for BMW M models. By combining the hallmark V8 engine with innovative hybrid technology, this high-performance model sets a new standard for both power and efficiency. It’s not just a car—it’s the ultimate driving machine, redefined for the modern era.
