The new BMW M5 Touring redefines the high-performance station wagon segment by blending breathtaking performance with everyday versatility. Scheduled for its world premiere at Monterey Car Week 2024, this stunning new model combines BMW’s racing heritage with cutting-edge hybrid technology, delivering a unique driving experience.
Dynamic Performance Meets Electrification
At the heart of the new BMW M5 Touring is the advanced M HYBRID drive system, which pairs a 4.4-litre V8 engine with an electric motor. The result? A combined output of 585 hp from the engine and 197 hp from the electric motor, providing exhilarating acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. The precision-tuned M Steptronic transmission, paired with BMW’s M xDrive all-wheel-drive system and Active M Differential, ensures seamless power transfer to the road, offering unparalleled control in all driving conditions.
Whether you’re cruising through city streets or tackling long-distance journeys, the new BMW M5 Touring’s hybrid system enables you to drive on electric power alone at speeds of up to 140 km/h (87 mph), with an electric range of up to 67 kilometers (42 miles).
Striking Design and Powerful Stance
The new BMW M5 Touring features bold athletic proportions that underscore its performance capabilities. With large air intakes, flared wheel arches, and a sculptural front end, this model embodies the signature M design. The iconic BMW M kidney grille with Iconic Glow lighting is flanked by slim rear lights that extend into the flanks, emphasizing the vehicle’s dynamic width. Its long roofline and prominent rear diffuser, housing dual exhaust tailpipes, give the M5 Touring a muscular yet refined appearance.
M-Specific Chassis Technology for Precision Handling
BMW’s focus on driving dynamics is evident in the new M5 Touring’s M-specific chassis technology. A double-wishbone front axle and five-link rear axle, combined with adaptive M suspension and Integral Active Steering, deliver an outstanding balance between agility and comfort. The M light-alloy wheels (20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear) are paired with high-performance tires for maximum grip, while the M Compound brakes or optional M Carbon ceramic brakes ensure superior stopping power.
Innovative Technology and Assistance Systems
The new BMW M5 Touring offers a host of driver assistance systems, including front collision warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Speed Limit Info, all part of the vehicle’s standard equipment. For added convenience, the optional Parking Assistant Professional allows the car to be parked and maneuvered via smartphone control. BMW’s latest iDrive system with Operating System 8.5 provides a fully digital interface with intuitive touch controls and advanced connectivity options like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
A Practical Luxury
Inside, the new BMW M5 Touring combines luxury with functionality. The cabin features M multifunction seats, Merino leather trim, and the BMW Curved Display with M-specific readouts. With a versatile load capacity of 500 to 1,630 liters, this Touring model is as practical as it is powerful, making it perfect for both daily commutes and weekend getaways. Optional features like steering wheel heating, active seat ventilation, and a panoramic glass sunroof add to the car’s premium feel.

The new BMW M5 Touring is set to hit the market in November 2024, following its debut at Monterey Car Week. The vehicle will be produced at the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, with key markets including Germany, the USA, Great Britain, Canada, and Switzerland.
