For the first time, BMW M is bringing the new M5 Touring to the United States. This high-performance wagon blends everyday usability with M5 pedigree—combining electrified power, bold styling, and signature driving dynamics. Under the hood is a M Hybrid powertrain delivering 717 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, along with an estimated 25 miles of all-electric range.
2025 BMW M5 Touring: Striking Design and Athletic Proportions
The front end carries the unmistakable BMW M identity with a newly designed M kidney grille, black high-gloss accents, and aggressive air intakes. M-specific flared arches and aerodynamic elements extend the car’s muscular stance. The side profile features a long roofline and bold character lines, while the rear boasts slim taillights, a split diffuser, and the iconic quad exhausts in Black Chrome.
Exclusive Wheels and Finishes
Standard M double-spoke 951M alloy wheels (20-inch front, 21-inch rear) with staggered performance tires enhance handling. An optional 952M wheel set with performance rubber is also available. The BMW M5 Touring can be specified in ten exterior shades, including Isle of Man Green metallic, with additional BMW Individual paints offered at launch.
Electrified M Power
At its core, the new M5 Touring pairs a 4.4-liter V8 with M TwinPower Turbo tech and an integrated electric motor within the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission. Together, they generate 717 hp and deliver 0–60 mph in an estimated 3.5 seconds. The V8 alone produces 577 hp and 553 lb-ft, while the electric motor contributes up to 194 hp and 207 lb-ft, boosted via a unique pre-gearing stage.
All-Electric Capability
With a 14.8 kWh battery, the BMW M5 Touring offers electric driving up to 87 mph and an estimated range of 25 miles. The battery is mounted low in the chassis for optimal balance and handling. Predictive thermal management ensures efficient AC charging (up to 11 kW), aided by real-time temperature monitoring.
Performance-Focused Engineering
Designed for track and road, the M5 Touring includes an M-specific cooling system, rigid powertrain mounts, and chassis enhancements for improved agility and response. The 8-speed M Steptronic with Drivelogic offers three shifting modes, while Boost Control enables a powerful surge of acceleration between 20–90 mph.
Adaptive Driving Modes
The M Hybrid system offers up to five driving modes, including HYBRID, ELECTRIC, and eCONTROL. In Sport and Sport Plus, the V8 is always engaged for peak performance. Optional M Drive Professional adds DYNAMIC and DYNAMIC PLUS modes tailored for track use, ensuring both power sources operate at full capacity with optimized cooling.
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive
Power is delivered via M xDrive, BMW’s performance all-wheel-drive system, which features adjustable modes including 4WD, 4WD Sport, and 2WD for rear-wheel-drive purists. An Active M Differential on the rear axle ensures optimal torque distribution between wheels, enhancing traction and agility during spirited driving.
Track-Ready Chassis
The M5 Touring’s platform is engineered for performance with a long wheelbase, wide tracks, and a low center of gravity. M-specific bracing increases structural rigidity throughout the body, including reinforced front strut towers and underfloor supports. The result is precise, composed handling whether on the highway or the racetrack.
Advanced Suspension Setup
A double-wishbone front axle with aluminum components minimizes unsprung mass, while newly developed wheel carriers and axle geometry improve dynamic response and ride comfort. The adaptive M suspension works in concert with the chassis electronics to deliver exceptional control in a variety of conditions.
