BMW continues to push the boundaries of performance and practicality with the introduction of the new BMW M5 Touring. Four months after the BMW M5 Sedan entered production, the M5 Touring has now rolled off the assembly line at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing. This new model offers a unique blend of high-performance driving dynamics and everyday versatility, making it a perfect companion for work, leisure, and family trips.
Exceptional Performance with Hybrid Efficiency
The BMW M5 Touring is the third M vehicle to feature the advanced M HYBRID drivetrain, combining the raw power of a high-revving V8 engine with the precision and efficiency of an electric drive. This potent combination generates a staggering 535 kW (727 hp) and delivers a maximum torque of 1,000 Nm, ensuring thrilling acceleration and handling.
With its hybrid system, the BMW M5 Touring not only excels on the road but also keeps an eye on fuel efficiency and emissions. When the battery is charged, the fuel consumption is a mere 2.0 l/100 km with 30.7 kWh/100 km of electric energy use, while the CO2 emissions are impressively low at 46 g/km. Even with the battery fully discharged, the vehicle consumes only 10.9 l/100 km.
A Complete BMW M Lineup in Dingolfing
With the arrival of the new M5 Touring, the BMW 5 Series family is now complete. “We can now offer customers of our core model series worldwide a unique variety of drive technologies and body variants,” says Christoph Schröder, Plant Director at Dingolfing. The new model is the seventh BMW M derivative produced at the plant, alongside the M4 Coupé, Convertible, M8 Coupé, and Gran Coupé, as well as the M5 Sedan.
BMW M models are a significant part of Dingolfing’s output, accounting for around six percent of the plant’s total production. This solidifies BMW’s commitment to high-performance vehicles while maintaining cutting-edge technology for a wide range of driving preferences.
