With outrageous power, unprecedented efficiency, and a hatch, BMW steers the M5 into a new era. Cresting a rise on the autobahn northeast of Munich, we spot a nuclear cooling tower hulking in the near distance,

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,
