A rare BMW E34 M5 was found in an abandoned house, rumored to be worth over $1.5 million, sparking intrigue among car enthusiasts.

But there seems to be a light renaissance for estate versions (particularly in North America, and BMW has been surprised by the reception of the M3 Touring in Europe), so the G90 saloon gets a hatchback version.

It's heavy, it's mean, and despite its plug-in hybrid status, not all that efficient. But we'll be damned if it isn't capable.

If you dig the new 2025 BMW M5 , surely you’ve read our first-drive review of the sedan a couple of weeks ago. Today, we’ll focus on the M5 Touring, which we also got to drive on its home soil. Remember,

Most every SUV maker loves to pretend their designs are daring or sporty or something, even as they’re punched from the same suburban mold like soft blobs of Wonder Bread. Enthusiasts notoriously favor station wagons,

The M5 Touring is where stupendous performance converges with versatility and practicality, with a handsome body style to boot.

BMW hasn’t built an M5 wagon since 2010, and this is the first one ever available in North America. The Touring gets the same 717-hp PHEV V8 powertrain we’ve already tried in the M5 sedan. When BMW launches a new generation of M5 the car world snaps to attention.

Driving.Ca #BMWM5Touring #luxurycars #carreview The humble station wagon goes by many names: "estate," "shooting brake," and in the case of the all-new 2025 BMW M5 PHEV station wagon, "Touring." After spending a day hustling the new plug-in hybrid M5 Touring around Bavaria and along the autobahn outside of Munich,

The M5 sedan and Touring are virtually identical. But the wagon is a more interesting proposition—for a few reasons.
