M Performance Parts make the BMW M5 Touring look devilishly good

The new BMW M5 Touring, which was introduced to the world last August, is among the heaviest cars on the market right now, weighing in at approximately 2,508 kg.

In response, BMW has unveiled a range of M Performance Parts accessories, featuring various components made from carbon fibre and high-tech fibre composite material called aramid.

While the exact weight reduction is undisclosed, the kit does enhance the M5 Touring’s aggressive overall look, complementing its supercar-like performance.

It begins at the front, where the M5 Touring receives a carbon fibre splitter that accentuates the central air intake in the bumper.

At the rear, there’s a carbon fibre diffuser that’s divided into two sections, which can be paired with M Performance tailpipe trims for an even more striking visual impact.

Additionally, the M Performance Parts kit includes side decals in Frozen Black and carbon fibre sill extensions, giving the wagon an even wider stance.

For a more menacing look, customers can also opt for M exterior mirror caps in carbon fibre and the aramid M Performance aerial cover.

Other offerings include a carbon fibre fuel cap that “ turns every refuel into a small pit stop,” M Performance floor mats with leather-look edging, an Alcantara and leather key fob cover, and M Performance tyre bags that can be used for protection and storage.

Unfortunately, these M Performance Parts do not equate to increased performance. But it’s probably the last thing it needs as the M5 Touring is already a very potent car thanks to its 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid engine that generates 717 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque.

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).
