THE ALL-NEW BMW M5 TOURING
BMW M GmbH is expanding its offering in the high-performance segment and at the same time pushing ahead with the electrification of its model range.
The new BMW M5 Touring combines standout dynamics on the road and track with variable-use interior space for everyday jobs, leisure activities, and trips away. This is the third current BMW M car to be powered by an M HYBRID drive system, in which a high-revving V8 engine is boosted by an electric motor with extremely rapid power delivery. Together, the engine and motor generate a maximum output of 727 hp and peak torque of 1,000 Nm.
Exterior design: athletic forms, typical Touring proportions.
With a fresh interpretation of the signature M design for high-performance cars, the new BMW M5 Touring clearly expresses its racing-car-inspired character. A particularly high proportion of surfaces painted in body colour and a Black solid finish for the roof create a puristic appearance to go with the familiar proportions of a Touring model. A model-specific side frame design incorporating prominently flared wheel arches teams up with muscular shoulders and a long roofline to headline the athletic appearance of the new BMW M5 Touring – and set it apart emphatically from the new BMW 5 Series Touring.
The sculptural front end is shaped by large air intakes and a newly designed BMW M kidney grille, which is showcased as standard by BMW Iconic Glow contour lighting. At the opposite end of the car, slim rear lights extending into the car’s flanks, vertical reflectors positioned to the outer edges of the rear end, and a two-section split diffuser with two pairs of exhaust tailpipes integrated to the left and right emphasise the width and powerful stature of the new BMW M5 Touring.
M HYBRID drive system combines a free-revving V8 engine with a powerful electric motor.
The M HYBRID drive system in the new BMW M5 Touring brings together a 4.4-litre V8 engine and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission. As well as the latest version of M TwinPower Turbo technology, the combustion engine also benefits from a cross-bank exhaust manifold and optimised oil separation. It develops a maximum output of 430 kW/585 hp and peak torque of 750 Nm.
The electric motor is from the latest, fifth generation of BMW eDrive technology and produces maximum output of 145 kW/197 hp. Its nominal torque of 280 Nm increases to effective torque at the transmission input of 450 Nm with the help of the pre-gearing stage patented by BMW. The power generated by the electric motor – on tap the moment the driver pulls away – and the intelligently controlled interplay between the engine and motor ensure delay-free response and linear power delivery into the upper reaches of the load and rev ranges. The standard top speed of 250 km/h can be raised to 305 km/h by specifying the optional M Driver’s Package.
M-specific chassis technology delivers compelling dynamics.
The new BMW M5 Touring raises the bar in its segment with its standout dynamic qualities. Playing a key role here – alongside the drive system, long wheelbase, and wide tracks – is improved body rigidity. As well as a tower-to-bulkhead stiffening plate, tower-to-front-end struts, and other bracing elements in the front-end structure, the rear end features model-specific underfloor struts, including a cross-bar, a stiffening plate, and other bracing elements in the load compartment.
Wide range of assistance systems for automated driving and parking.
The new BMW M5 Touring comes as standard with a wealth of driver assistance systems, whose functionality is further enhanced by the integrated braking system and networked transverse dynamics management. Standard specification includes front collision warning, Lane Departure Warning including lane return with steering assistance, the Evasion Assistant, the Attentiveness Assistant, and the Speed Limit Info system.
Configurable driving experience for everyday driving and track sessions.
The M-specific control panel on the centre console offers additional options for customising the driving experience. For example, the Setup button enables direct access to the settings for the drive system, Drivelogic function, chassis, steering, braking system, M xDrive, and brake energy recuperation intensity. Drivers can use the M buttons on the steering wheel to call up two configurations they have previously programmed for the vehicle setup.
Progressive sports car cockpit with M-specific displays.
The driver-focused cockpit of the new BMW M5 Touring exudes an authentic racing-car aura with its newly designed M leather steering wheel, M multifunction seats, M-specific readouts on the BMW Curved Display, and the standard BMW Head-Up Display. Helping to create an exclusive, premium ambience on board are Merino leather trim, the BMW Interaction Bar, four-zone automatic climate control, M-specific interior lighting with Welcome Animation, and a Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System. Among the items on the options list are steering wheel heating, active seat ventilation, and a panoramic glass sunroof. From spring 2025, customers will also be able to give their cars an additional touch of luxury in the form of BMW Individual Metallic Merino leather trim.
