2025 BMW M5 Touring (G91), dad’s wagon just became a rocket ship

Forget everything you thought you knew about station wagons. The new BMW M5 Touring is not some boring family car with extra trunk space. This is a brutally fast, aggressive-looking, high-tech missile on wheels … with enough room for your in-laws, the stroller, and a full set of track tires.

“Wagon? What wagon? This is a ballistic missile with boot space!”

Let’s not beat around the bush: this is the fastest and most powerful 5 Series Touring ever made. At its core is a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, now paired with an electric motor for a combined output of 727 hp and a monstrous 1,000 Nm of torque.

That translates to 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds. In a wagon. With ISOFIX points. Weighing over 2.5 tons.

But numbers don’t tell the whole story. The M5 Touring delivers its performance with shocking polish. Thanks to BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, you can hammer out full-throttle launches in the rain with total confidence. Rear-wheel steering tightens up the car’s handling, while adaptive M suspension soaks up bumps or stiffens for maximum attack, depending on your mood or the road.

The 8-speed automatic is rapid and intelligent, always in the right gear unless you decide to take over with the tactile shift paddles. And when you do, the car responds like it’s been waiting for the green light all day.

Better still, the hybrid system isn’t just a tech gimmick. With up to 67 km of all-electric range, the M5 Touring can silently sneak through the city in EV mode before transforming into a snarling super-wagon on the open road. It’s Jekyll and Hyde on four Michelin Pilot Sport 5s.

Track-Focused Luxury

Step inside and it’s clear BMW has balanced performance with premium. The cabin is all about business — with just the right amount of luxury flair.

You’re greeted by sporty M-seats — supportive in all the right places, adjustable in more ways than you'd ever need, and as comfortable as they are race-ready. The curved dual-screen display dominates the dashboard, blending crisp instrumentation with BMW’s iDrive 8.5 infotainment system. Yes, it’s touch-based, but fear not: the iDrive rotary controller lives on, giving drivers that crucial tactile control.

Two red “M Mode” buttons sit on the steering wheel, ready to transform your serene tourer into a track-hungry beast. Meanwhile, ambient lighting, carbon trim and an optional Bowers & Wilkins surround system elevate the cabin to lounge-like levels of comfort.

Rear passengers are treated well, with generous legroom and heated seats. Behind them, a practical 500-litre boot expands to over 1,600 litres when you fold the rear seats. You can genuinely take this car skiing, move house, or do a grocery run — all while out-dragging most supercars from the lights.

Savage in a suit

Visually, the M5 Touring is everything a fast wagon should be: aggressive, purposeful, but still understated enough to fly under the radar — if you want it to.

The front end is sharp and assertive, with wide air intakes, laser LED headlights, and a gloss-black kidney grille. Along the side, sculpted flanks and flared arches house staggered 20- and 21-inch wheels. The stance is low and planted, oozing presence even at a standstill.

At the rear, quad exhausts and a subtle roof spoiler remind you this is no diesel Touring. Optional M Performance carbon packages can dial up the drama further — mirrors, splitters, diffusers — all just a configurator click away.

And let’s be real — this wagon is cooler than the sedan. Period.

Priced like a Stuart Hughes suit

A normal BMW 5 Series Touring will set you back at least 63.900 euros for the 520i (BE). A standard M5 Touring? 151.600 euros! Howly F*ck. Other rims, nicer interior with carbon details and a few packs. Yes, you can easily get your M5 Touring north of 175.000 euros!

Verdict: The Supercar You Can Daily

BMW hasn’t just built a fast wagon. They’ve built one of the most complete performance cars of the year! Regardless of shape, segment or badge. It’s part EV, part V8 brute, part luxury cruiser, part Nürburgring-slaying monster.

Yes, it’s heavy. Yes, it’s expensive. And yes, your fuel bill will thank you if you plug it in regularly. But there’s nothing quite like it on the road today.

The M5 Touring is proof that performance doesn’t have to mean compromise. It’s the ultimate daily weapon. Practical enough for real life, thrilling enough for any enthusiast and cool enough to make sports car owners feel a little… inadequate.

BMW, thank you for building this madness.
