2025 BMW M5 Touring revealed as a practical alternative to the M5 sedan
Introducing the newly launched BMW M5 Touring 2025, a fast wagon model that offers a more practical option compared to the sedan variant.
This long-roof version of the BMW M5 marks the third wagon model in the history of the M5, with the last appearance being in 2007.
Here are some key facts you should know about the 2025 M5 Touring:
1. Weighs 2.5 tons
The BMW M5 2025 can be likened to an elephant, with an overall weight reaching nearly 2.5 tons due to the powertrain used.
However, for the M5 Touring model, BMW estimates a weight of around 2,508 kg, which is 63 kg heavier than the sedan model.
2. Near 50:50 weight distribution ratio
One aspect that sets it apart from the sedan model is the nearly 50:50 weight distribution ratio.
According to BMW, this is due to factors such as a longer wheelbase, wider track, and a lower center of gravity.
3. Equipped with the same power as the sedan
The BMW M5 Touring 2025 employs the same specifications as the sedan model.
The 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 engine, aided by a hybrid system, is capable of producing 717 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque.
Acceleration from 0-96 km/h is as quick as 3.5 seconds (slightly slower than the M5 sedan’s 3.4 seconds), with a top speed of around 248 km/h.
With the M Driver package, you can drive this wagon at a maximum speed of 304 km/h.
4. Spacious cargo area
One of the advantages of the wagon model is undoubtedly its more practical space.
The long-roofed BMW M5 Touring 2025 offers a volume of 501 liters, which can expand up to 1,631 liters when the second-row seats (40:20:40) are folded flat.
Other features are similar to the M5 sedan, such as the curved screen panel, specific M graphics display, BMW’s Operating System 8.5, new steering wheel design, and unique ambient lighting system.
5. Launch
The BMW M5 Touring 2025 will be globally launched in the fourth quarter of this year.
It will also be available in the U.S. market with a starting price of $121,500 (RM539,010).
