2025BMW M5 touring bound for the US was spied on the "ring"

It was discovered that BMW is testing a prototype of the new M5 Touring, which is the only 5th M5 wagon in the history of the 3rd series. The last was the '00s E60 generation M5 Touring

The latest high-performance wagons are expected to debut shortly, along with the debut of the new M5 sedan, and both body styles were confirmed by BMW in March for US arrival. They should arrive as a 2025 model.

The prototype may be similar to previous test cars on regular 5-Series touring, but the pumped-up fenders, quad exhaust stoppers

yellow warning stickers also confirm that the prototype packs an electric powertrain. The setup consists of a single electric motor and a twin turbocharged 700-liter V-4.4 for a combined output of probably over hp. The 2023 XM SUV also comes with the same set-up function, delivering 738 horsepower in the range-top XM Label Red grade.

Favorite performance for electric power Fans also have the option with the new 5 series. The Electric i5 variant can be ordered in the i5M60xDrive grade, which packs a dual motor, all-wheel drive setup, good for 590 hp. The I5M60xDrive also has a touring wagon, but this particular option is not expected to reach the United States.

A dedicated M car with an electric powertrain is in the pipeline, but the timing is unknown. BMW M has been discovered testing a four-motor electric powertrain, and there have been rumors that at some point in its life cycle the new M5 will offer electric powertrain options.

When it arrives, it will not be much of a hindrance to the direct competition of M5 Touring. Mercedes-Benz AMG no longer offers E63 wagons in the US and Audi's current RS6 Avant is also on its way. It is a successor to the RS6Avant and may have been badge as the RS7Avant, but it has not yet been confirmed for sale in the US. The smaller RS5 Avant is also in the works, but it has not yet been confirmed to reach these shores.

BMW also offers m3 touring. It is sold abroad from 2022, but it is excluded in this market.
