2025 BMW M5 Touring // Full Review

The BMW M5 Touring has finally made it to the United States, for the first time ever, in 2025. This is the 7th generation M5, the 3rd Touring (wagon) model, but the first to come stateside.

This ultimate family hauler houses a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid system, with an electric motor baked into the transmission. Combined output is rated at 717-hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, with a 0-60 of 3.5 seconds. The engine alone is rated at 577-hp and 553 lb-ft, while the electric motor is rated for 194-hp and 207 lb-ft. The electric component also gets you 25 miles of all-electric range. And you can use electric-only at up to 87 miles per hour.

Your drivetrain is a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system (M xDrive), with a standard limited-slip-differential in the back (M Sport Differential). Rear steer is also standard, with the back wheels going up to 1.5 degrees with or against the fronts, depending on speed.

The transmission is a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic.

Beyond speed, this performance wagon provides plenty of space for the family, with 27.2 cu ft of cargo volume and 37" of rear legroom. And plenty of comfort and lux, with heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, head-up display, a standard Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and more.

Is the M5 Touring worth the $120k starting price? And does it live up to the hype? Let's go ahead and take a look.
