More room for high performance: BMW M GmbH confirms development of a new BMW M5 Touring.

June 26, 2023

Seventh generation of the BMW M5 Sedan already undergoing an intensive testing programme. BMW M GmbH to continue its product offensive in 2024 and confirms the extension of its model range to include a Touring variant of the new high-performance model.

Munich. The prototypes are carefully disguised, but they cannot conceal their character as high-performance cars. The future generation of the BMW M5 has entered the practical phase of its series development process. The new high-performance sedan from BMW M GmbH is now completing its test drives on public roads, BMW Group proving grounds and racetracks around the world.

Moreover, fans of the BMW M brand can look forward to a further result of the product offensive that will continue into the year 2024. BMW M GmbH has now officially confirmed that with the new edition of the BMW M5, it will be adding a Touring variant to its model range. The perfect symbiosis of M-typical performance, uncompromising long-distance comfort and impressive spaciousness will experience a renaissance in 2024 with the new BMW M5 Touring.

Just like the future BMW M5 Sedan, the Touring variant will also feature a completely newly developed partially electrified drive system. Its M-typical performance characteristics as well as the precisely tuned chassis technology refined with innovative systems facilitate driving dynamics and agility at a level unique in this vehicle class. Thus, BMW M GmbH is steadily progressing on its path to electrification. "We are now also installing a hybrid drive system with typical M performance in other high-performance cars," says Dirk Häcker, Head of Development at BMW M GmbH.

For almost 40 years now, the BMW M5 has been the benchmark for driving dynamics, agility and precision in the high-performance sedan segment. Evolutionary progress, development know-how from racing and pioneering innovations in the areas of drive, suspension, aerodynamics and lightweight construction have shaped the history of the BMW M5. Engines with six, eight and ten cylinders, M TwinPower Turbo technology and high-revving characteristics, the compound brake system with M Carbon ceramic brakes and M xDrive four-wheel drive are just some of the technological milestones with which this model has repeatedly redefined top performance in a sedan that is unconditionally suitable for everyday use. The seventh generation of the BMW M5 takes up on this – with fascinating innovations for an even more intense performance experience.

The first BMW M5 Touring was launched back in 1992 based on the second-generation BMW M5 Sedan and has since stood for a combination of high performance and everyday practicality on four wheels. In 2007, BMW M GmbH also added a Touring variant to the fourth-generation BMW M5. And currently, the successful launch of the first BMW M3 Competition Touring with M xDrive* also underscores the high appeal of this special vehicle concept in the premium midrange segment of high-performance cars.

Testing of the first prototypes of the new BMW M5 Touring is to commence in the next few days in urban traffic as well as on country roads and motorways around Munich and at the BMW M GmbH headquarters in Garching. The integrated application of all drive and suspension systems will then also be carried out for the new BMW M5 Touring on the Nürburgring's Nordschleife, among other places, with the aim of ensuring the ideal balance of sporting performance on the racetrack and superior ride comfort in everyday driving and over long distances.

I just don’t get the station wagons, but I guess if you really need one this would be the one to get…

[b3ngali]

So stoked for this!

[Eddybro]

Bmw finally made a bmw to get excited about … and it’s coming to the USA!!

[somer]

Pilot Spot S 5 tire pattern I'm pretty sure. Proportions look good on it, very similar to the RS6. In the end though a 5200lb PHEV 150k+ wagon will be a fairly niche market, we'll see how well it sells.

I agree also especially since it’s coming to the u.s market not sure there is a need for it here but we will see by the # .

[Nordkeyz73]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!

[Paco1M]

SOP will be 07/2024 💁🏼‍♂️

From the pics of the regular i5. I hope the front doesn’t look funky. Haven’t seen the new 5 in person but from pics, something just seems off. Hopefully the m looks better. Mind you this is coming from someone that hated the grills on the g80 when they first came out. And I have one on order now. So what do I know. Lol

I just think station wagons are generally unattractive vehicles; however, I can see the appeal for a grocery getting housewife/soccermom. Not sure how well these will sell in the US considering the love for SUVs here.

This is a controversial topic: It seems like half of us drool over wagons and the other half don't get it. Count me among the droolers, although the price looks to be way too steep for me. It looks like my Porsche Macan is safe in the garage for the foreseeable future.

I think there will be a decent amount of people that will buy it. I think there are people that appreciate the better handling and performance characteristics that a wagon has vs an suv. But I totally agree that there is a love of suv in the us, and that cars like the x5m will sell far better than an m5 wagon.

Hey man, if it appeals to you, then that’s awesome. It’s great having such an extensive lineup where BMW has something for everyone. A far as controversies go, the kidney grill controversy will never go away! I’m afraid that one is here to stay!

[GOLFFRR]

This could be special, excited!

[Mani59]

Finally some decent competition for the Audi RS Avants!

But you had / have an X6.....which I would say is less practical and doesn't handle as well.

Well, we can thank the Houston Police Dept. for why I no longer have that vehicle. They t-boned me chasing someone else. But you are correct, it wasn’t the most practicle vehicle, but it was great for tall people wanting a SAV. I’m 6’2’.

[drexplode]

So much initial excitement until you reach the dealer to realize they will ruin the experience with their ridiculous mark-ups/add-ons.

Same. I never understood the enthusiast's obsession with wagons. What will this run decently equipped, $135K? $140K?

For that kind if cash, I’d rather have something else. The only vehicle worse looking (to me) is the new XM. Yuck!

[SliChillax]

I'm just happy that the M5 is finally getting wider rear fenders.

[classic_erik]

Huge news! ❤️

Finally they made the right decision to bring over a car to compete with the RS6 Avant in the US!

I love that rear end - so aggressive 👏🏻
