BMW M5 Touring review – is this the ultimate driving machine? | Road Test

When you think of the pinnacle of performance driving, the first name that should always leap to your mind is the BMW M5. Setting for bar for motorists around the globe since 1985, the M5 remains one of the most coveted cars to this day, pushing the boundaries of everyday driving with each new generation. The brand-new BMW M5 Touring is no different.

With a V8 TwinPower Turbo petrol engine working in tandem with an electric drive, the new M5 Touring boasts an absolutely staggering 727bhp, a 0-62mph t of just 3.6 seconds, and 1,000lb-ft of torque. It almost defies physics in how blistering fast it is and how well it handles corners – despite its two-and-a-half-tonne weight. But the M5 was never just about the speed; it also epitomises the practicalities that a larger car offers.

Equipped with modern day luxuries, including opulent leather seats, cutting-edge driver’s assist systems, futuristic tech and gadgets, and smooth electric driving, the M5 Touring is as comfortable at the shops as it is on the track.

So only one question remains: is the BMW M5 Touring the Ultimate Driving Machine? Join Duncan Vincent as he gives us the full tour of this everyday supercar, highlighting how outrageous, yet practical, it can be.
