SUVs often claim to be bold or sporty, but many fall short. The station wagon, beloved by enthusiasts, seemed endangered even in Europe, where crossover SUVs have taken over. BMW’s decision to bring the M5 Touring to the U.S. changes this narrative, offering a thrilling alternative for performance car fans. The 2025 BMW M5 Touring will finally hit American roads, exciting those ready to break from conventional choices.
This third-generation M5 Touring holds a unique place in BMW’s lineup. Previous iterations—the E34 from the ’90s and the E61 produced from 2007 to 2009—never reached American shores. Now, this new model combines heritage with cutting-edge engineering. The M5 Touring pairs its 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor, delivering 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid system’s underfloor battery provides an estimated 25 miles of electric range, ensuring versatility alongside performance.
Driving the M5 Touring on Germany’s open roads showcases its dual nature—luxurious yet ferociously capable. Despite its 5,500-pound weight, the car feels agile thanks to advanced adaptive suspension, AWD, and rear-wheel steering. The wagon rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just over 3 seconds, rivalling many supercars. The distinctive roar of the engine and responsive Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tyres amplify the thrill, delivering an experience that exceeds expectations for a vehicle in this category.
Inside, the M5 Touring mirrors the refinement of the M5 sedan, offering generous space and adaptable cargo options. While the rear seats don’t fold completely flat, they still provide up to 57.6 cubic feet of cargo space, ideal for stowing everything from luggage to sports gear. Unlike bulkier SUVs, the M5 Touring’s lower profile and sport-sedan stance cater to driving enthusiasts who value precision and a traditional feel.
For those ready to step away from oversized SUVs and embrace something truly different, the 2025 BMW M5 Touring delivers—a fusion of speed, luxury, and practicality wrapped in a wagon body. It’s a taste of Europe that America deserves, an exhilarating choice that redefines the automotive norm.
