The seventh-generation M5, and BMW M has delivered exactly what we’ve been craving—a third-ever #M5Touring. While we had a good idea of its looks from the saloon, seeing it in person is an entirely different experience. In true M5 fashion, this Touring model sports a completely unique body, with a wider front and rear that look absolutely stunning. But the changes aren't just skin-deep; under the hood, we’ve got the same V8 hybrid system found in the saloon, bringing some serious performance upgrades. Today, we’ll explore all the modifications BMW M made to turn the standard 5 Series into this beastly M5, give you a proper interior review, and go over any specific changes on the Touring variant. Watch my first drive on track of the sedan/saloon here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpykKrSgRG0 Lately, BMW M has been ticking all the right boxes, from an M2 that’s still a RWD brute with a manual option, to the M3 Touring—a car that was once just a concept and now is one of the most popular M cars on the road. And now, they’ve topped it all off with the M5 Touring, which is even making its way to the USA. What a time to be a fan of BMW M! The M5 Touring isn’t entirely new territory for BMW. The first-ever M5 Wagon was the E34, a 335 HP sleeper that hit 60 mph in under 6 seconds. But back then, the market wasn’t quite ready for it, resulting in low sales. The E39 missed out on a Touring version altogether, but the E60 brought it back with a thumping V10 and a unique body, though it was still ahead of its time. Now, with the G99, the timing seems perfect for a return. Under the hood, it’s powered by a 585 HP V8, assisted by a 142 HP electric motor and battery, making for a total output of 727 HP and 1,000 Nm of torque. This setup propels the car from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, but that seems slow considering the horsepower: today we will discuss the true power via some power-to-weight calculations, and discuss the weight a little too. The hybrid system uses an 18.6 kWh battery, giving a range of 67-69 km (42-43 miles) on electric power alone which looks to be accurate. However, as we said this new tech has added some serious weight. The new M5 Touring weighs likely 2,550 kg, a whopping 540 kg more than the previous M5. But they have done a lot to negate this too, and as my first drive on track showed: there seems to be hope. For example we have M xDrive with an active M differential and a drift mode. The chassis features extensive rigidity measures and stiffening paired with the M Suspension and electronic dampers at each wheel. The steering has been improved with a rigid connection for better feedback and precision, and rear-wheel steering enhances agility. On the design front, the M5 Touring is wider by 75 mm at the front and 48 mm at the rear. It comes with staggered 20/21-inch wheels, 100 mm quad exhaust pipes, and plenty of unique M touches like illuminated grilles and side arch extensions. Inside, the M-specific features continue with an illuminated steering wheel, M seats, and a comprehensive M Control panel that includes modes for every driving scenario, including a track-focused M Drive Professional mode. All of which we will go over today! Up next on RBR is the New Audi RS3 reveal , and the BMW X6M Competition!
