The 2025 BMW M5 Touring is one of the most unconventional performance cars on the road. A long-roof family haulier weighing more than some full-size pickups, yet producing over 700 horsepower thanks to its hybrid V8 system, it’s a machine that defies expectations and somehow makes the absurd feel irresistible.
On paper, the recipe shouldn’t work. A twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 paired with an electric motor delivers astonishing performance, pushing this heavy wagon with the urgency of a supercar. Straight-line speed is brutal, and the electric torque sharpens throttle response at any pace. The handling is equally surprising; despite its mass, the Touring turns in with agility, offering real feedback through the wheel and confidence-inspiring grip on sweeping roads.
Not everything is perfect. Ride quality is unforgiving, particularly on rough surfaces, and the sheer number of drive modes borders on excessive. But once on the move, it’s hard to resist its character. Efficiency is also better than expected for such a leviathan, with hybrid assistance delivering over 30 mpg in the right conditions—though push harder and it drinks fuel quickly.
The practicality of the estate body only adds to its appeal. With its wide stance, dramatic presence and a cabin full of M-car details, the M5 Touring turns heads everywhere it goes. In reality, few buyers will care about the critics—it’s too bold, too unique and too entertaining to be dismissed.
The result is a car both ridiculous and brilliant: part luxury wagon, part supercar, part engineering experiment. The 2025 BMW M5 Touring shouldn’t make sense, but it does—and that’s exactly why it stands out.
