The 2025 BMW M5 Touring blends massive hybrid-enhanced performance with wagon practicality. A thunderous twin-turbo V8 and electric boost combine for 717 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, enabling the long-roof M5 to run from 0–60mph in just 3.2 seconds. All-wheel drive helps lay down that power in most scenarios, though drivers can switch to rear-driven mode when they’re inclined, within reason, to indulge in rear-end antics.
That said, its near-three-ton mass shows up in challenging corners and uneven roads. While the M5 Touring’s chassis hovers on the edge of physics, bumpy surfaces can unsettle the suspension. Some may yearn for a simpler, lighter package, but anyone focused on straight-line surges will appreciate how quickly the potent drivetrain catapults this wagon. With supple seats, comprehensive driver aids, and plenty of cabin space, it’s a smooth, high-speed cruiser practical enough for family duties.
It’s an impressive grand tourer on smoother sections, offering a refined ride and long-haul comfort that contradicts the M badge’s typical track-hardened character. Despite its heft, the M5 Touring keeps much of the brand’s famed precision alive, delivering a firm grip as long as you manage the throttle and steering inputs judiciously. When the pavement cooperates, its agility can still surprise.
In short, the latest M5 Touring provides a luxurious and formidable choice for those seeking both day-to-day functionality and commanding bursts of power. If you can look beyond the weight, you’ll find a dynamic approach to hauling cargo and passengers quickly, paired with the brand’s unmistakable performance heritage.
