BMW promises that the M5 Touring will deliver uncompromising long-distance comfort and impressive spaciousness, making it an appealing choice for those who seek a dynamic driving experience without sacrificing practicality. To enhance its performance capabilities, the M5 Touring will feature a partially electrified drivetrain, leveraging technology similar to that found in the BMW XM model.
The powertrain setup in the BMW XM consists of a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine, an electric motor, and a 29.5-kilowatt-hour battery. While the exact power output for the M5 Touring remains undisclosed, the XM's electrified variant, known as the Label Red, generates an impressive 735 horsepower. BMW enthusiasts eagerly await further details regarding the power and performance of the M5 Touring.

Ahead of its anticipated release, BMW plans to commence on-road testing of the M5 Touring in the coming days. The development phase will involve rigorous testing on public roads surrounding Munich, Germany, as well as at the M GmbH headquarters in Garching. Furthermore, the iconic Nürburgring racetrack will serve as a proving ground for this high-performance wagon.
Spy shots and renderings of the new M5 provide a glimpse into its design language. Notably, the front fascia features triangular openings in the corners, creating a visually striking appearance. Angled inlets contribute to a complex trapezoidal element at the center, flanked by rectangular sections. Although the development vehicles showcase partially closed kidney grilles, it is expected that the production model will feature open grilles, lending a more aggressive aesthetic.
