Interestingly, the shape of the taillights is different

I like it, let's see the M5 Touring next!

chicagofan00 · 10-03-2023, 04:53 PM

Not bad but definitely wanting to see how aggressive they can make the M5T look as this is pretty ho-hum.

swagon · 10-03-2023, 04:56 PM

Already looks way better than the Sedan.

Nothing will ever top the F11, though.

GhostOne_322 · 10-03-2023, 06:00 PM

I'm officially not interested in the M5T.

duky · 10-03-2023, 06:20 PM

overhangs are pretty lengthy... wonder if they ever increase the wheelbase on M cars? would love to see this with shorter overhands and more width. that would look mighty!

IcewaterPete · 10-03-2023, 06:23 PM

Promising…

eljay · 10-03-2023, 07:23 PM

Anything wagony gets my interest.
The front looks tallish like the sedan design.

I hope i5 version looks good!

dr_frankfurter · 10-03-2023, 07:35 PM

What a difference the new tail lights make. Much better than the Camry-esque sedan lights

GuyOh · 10-03-2023, 07:35 PM

Those rear lights look wayyyyyyy better then the sedan version

BigEvan1923 · 10-03-2023, 08:47 PM

I would love to see those taillights as an LCI in the sedan but the reality is they just change the graphics inside the pre-existing housing vs a housing redesign

Irrespective of the shape and visual details, M5 touring will mostly like land somewhere between outstanding and stellar.

sspade · 10-03-2023, 09:08 PM

The US Market needs a new wagon! Subaru Outback literally owns 87% (albeit small volume). Is such model feasible at the $45k USD base level? If it needs to be $60k+ the market shrinks even further.

Igor_M5 · 10-03-2023, 09:09 PM

Bet you those taillights is the answer US never got the F11/G31/G21 👀👀

cpt · 10-03-2023, 10:19 PM

Here's a comparison, sedan vs. wagon.

Most of the visual difference comes from how the tail light slants at the end.
Also note that the perspective on each picture is likely slightly different: the sedan picture has a shorter focal length so it appears closer.

A 550e wagon will be an ideal road trip vehicle. I'll be very tempted to get it if something similar ever comes to the US.

BMWsince2005 · 10-04-2023, 02:16 AM

Oh, they found tons of not-used 8-Series taillights....

Tallest · 10-04-2023, 03:10 AM

I like both 3 and 5 series in standard shape over M sport for the first time in like 20 years. Crazy!

Seen enough of M cars parked now on streets in stockholm which are exposed to winters to know that the black trim turns into a completely shabby looking bluish and purple shade with some bizzare swirl textures. I really hope BMW addressed this on this car but must be seen over time to know. Or get silver trim, which I also like now way more than before.

JustChris · 10-04-2023, 06:34 AM

Good info but it was hardly going to be a huge surprise. 5er with a Touring rear like every generation

GOLFFRR · 10-04-2023, 07:24 AM

5 series wagon, bring it on.

AP · 10-04-2023, 07:32 AM

Ppf for the black plastic bits would seem to be a must do item

BimmerMat135 · 10-04-2023, 07:45 AM

If the M5 Touring end up being sold in the us market I don’t see why they couldn’t at least bring the regular touring to spread the certification cost. Since the ICE options seem to be very limited in the regular 5 serie the i5 is really getting interesting.

Cruise'n · 10-04-2023, 08:13 AM

Looks good.

Put next to the M3 Wagon and I'll take this everyday.

Even though M3 version would Drive MUCH better.
