Official - New 2025 BMW M5 Touring Is Coming to America
33In a landscape where high-octane vehicles are often shrouded in mystery, the latest creations from BMW M are making waves, albeit under wraps. The buzz is all about the seventh iteration of the BMW M5, now in the throes of rigorous evaluation. This new chapter in BMW's saga of speed involves comprehensive road tests, including public byways, the company’s own testing grounds, and the punishing turns of racetracks scattered across the globe.
This narrative, however, extends beyond just the four-door speedster. In a nod to the vocal demands of the M brand aficionados in the United States, BMW has announced an exciting update: the BMW M5 Touring will be hitting American shores for the first time ever.
Tracing its lineage back to 1992 with the E34 M5 sedan as its progenitor, the inaugural M5 Touring was a marvel of its time, boasting a 3.8-liter inline-6 engine birthed from BMW's Motorsport division, coupled with a chassis that promised not just thrilling drives but also the comfort needed for long hauls, all while not skimping on cargo space. In 2007, the narrative continued with the fourth-generation (E60) M5’s Touring variant, which embraced a high-revving 5-liter V10 engine and a 7-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox, proving its mettle both on the racetrack and during extensive travels with family and luggage in tow.
The forthcoming M5 Touring, much like its sedan counterpart, is slated to embrace a hybrid propulsion system that shares its roots with the powerhouse found in the BMW M Hybrid V8 GTP race car. This system is expected to endow the vehicle with a blend of performance and efficiency, complemented by chassis engineering that pushes the envelope in terms of driving dynamics and nimbleness, making it a standout in its category. With the dawn of the new M5 models, BMW M strides further along the path of electrification, underscoring its commitment to innovation with hybrid technology that doesn’t compromise on performance.
For nearly four decades, the BMW M5 has set the standard for what a high-performance sedan can be, with each iteration pushing further in terms of agility, precision, and driving enjoyment. This legacy is bolstered by BMW’s motorsport expertise and continuous innovation in drive systems, aerodynamics, and lightweight construction, among other areas. The M5’s history is rich with technological breakthroughs, from engines that span the gamut of six to ten cylinders, to advanced turbo technology and all-wheel drive systems, all contributing to its storied reputation as a sedan that doesn’t just excel in performance but is also perfectly suited for daily driving.
As the next-generation BMW M5 Touring begins its testing phase, its journey will take it through varied terrains and conditions, from the urban sprawl to the challenging ascents of mountain roads, and onto the high-speed stretches of autobahns. The ultimate crucible will be the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit, where the synthesis of its drive and suspension systems will undergo fine-tuning, aiming to strike an optimal balance between racetrack agility and the comfort necessary for both daily commuting and extended journeys.
