BMW has only offered its legendary M5 with a long-roofed variant for three generations––his new G90 model has become the third. But even with a bulky 5,530-Ib curb weight working against it, is the third time the charm for this extra practical M5?
Under the hood, you'll find a 4.0 liter, hybrid-assisted twin-turbo V8 making 717 hp. In combination with the single 194-hp electric motor, this V8 can bring the performance wagon from 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds.
As with the M5 sedan, the battery from the plug-in hybrid system is mostly the culprit for this wagon's excessive heft, but BMW argues that 25 miles of EV-only range is a worthy tradeoff. We're just not sure how many M5 owners will be willing to turn off that V8 engine.
That powertrain makes 717 horsepower and consists of a 577-hp twin-turbocharged V-8 engine and a 194-hp electric motor. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are both standard. The all-wheel-drive system is rear-biased and can be switched off, leaving the M5 Touring a rear-drive car.
Elsewhere, the M5 Touring offers up to 17.7 cubic feet of trunk space that expands to 57.6 with the rear seats down, which makes for a convincing argument when the rest of the family is set on another ho-hum SUV.
Plus, the M5 Touring comes with just about every luxury item in BMW's arsenal: Bowers & Wilkins audio, ambient interior lighting, a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, a curved infotainment display with Drive 8.5, a head-up display, native navigation, and a lot more. Customization options through BMW's Individual program are seemingly endless and include a wide range of exterior colors and some special Merino Metallic leather options for the cabin.
And yes, this 717-hp super wagon is finally headed for the U.S., which means the Audi RS6 Avant and Mercedes-AMG E63 wagon will have some more competition to deal with on this side of the pond.
Pricing starts at an eye-watering $122,675 (that's $2,000 more than the M5 sedan), so buyers will have to empty their wallets when the M5 Touring hits dealers in early 2025.

While it's even heavier than the sedan, who wouldn't want a 717-hp German wagon?
