BMW is ready to reveal the new M5 Touring next month during Monterey Car Week 2024.
The debut will take place on August 15th at Pebble Beach, and BMW has already confirmed that sales of the super wagon are planned for the USA.
O new M5 sedan made its debut in June and is expected to begin deliveries later this year. It arrives as a 2025 model and has a starting price of $120,675 in the U.S., including a $1,175 destination charge.
The M5 Touring will also arrive as a 2025 model, though with deliveries only starting next spring. BMW hasn’t said how much the M5 Touring will cost, but a premium for the sedan is likely.

The new M5 Touring will be the third M5 wagon after the E34 M5 Touring of the late 1980s/early 1990s and the E60 M5 Touring of the 2000s, and it will be the first to be sold in the US.
The powertrain will be shared with the sedan. It’s a plug-in hybrid setup similar to the one in BMW’s XM SUV, and consists of a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 paired with an electric motor integrated into the transmission. Maximum output is 717 horsepower, or enough for a 0-60 mph sprint in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph for the sedan.
When it arrives, there won’t be much direct competition for the new M5 Touring. Mercedes-Benz AMG no longer offers an E 63 Wagon, and Audi’s current RS 6 Avant is also on its way out. However, a successor to the RS 6 Avant, likely identified as the the RS 7 Avantis in progress.
BMW also offers an M3 Touring. It debuted in 2022 with 503 hp and was scrapped for sale in the US.
