BMW Just Unveiled a New 717 HP Station Wagon for the U.S.

BMW is finally bringing one of its coveted performance wagons stateside.

The German marque unveiled the finished version of the 2025 M5 Touring to kick off this year’s edition of Monterey Car Week. The company has been building wagons under the M banner for decades now, but this is the first that’s getting an official U.S. release.

We’ve known it was coming since the spring, but that doesn’t make the M5 Touring any less exciting. The wagon, just like its sedan counterpart, has a much more muscular look than the standard 5 Series, with the big difference being that the roof (and its spoiler) extends all the way to the rear of the vehicle. With its mean-looking face, sharp lines, and commanding proportions, the M5 Touring just looks like it was meant to be driven fast.

Inside, the looks nearly identical to the class-defining sports sedan, just with a lot more cargo space in the back. Fold down the rear seats and you’re privy to an estimated 57.6-cubic feet of “flexible load-carrying capacity,” which should be more than enough room for most of us. The leather-clad, ambient-lit cabin also comes with a laundry list of premium features, including a massive curved infotainment display (that includes a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 14.9-inch control panel), panoramic sunroof, and Bowers & Wilkins speaker system.

Because it is an M car, the big story here, though, is the powertrain. As rumored, the M5 Touring is indeed a 700-plus-hp beast. It shares a plug-in hybrid setup with the M5 sedan that pairs a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 with an electric motor that combines to generate 717 horses and 738 ft lbs of twist (577 hp and 553 ft lbs of torque provided by the mill itself). The M5 Touring is beefy—it tips the scales at 5,530 pounds—but has enough oomph to launch from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and can hit a top speed of 155 mph (or 190 mph with the option M Driver’s Package). It’s also capable of 25 miles of electric-only range. A six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive come standard.

Ready to find out what all the performance wagon hype is about? The M5 Touring will go into production later this year, with the first examples arriving on dealer lots in early 2025. Expect the estate car to start at $122,675.
