2025 BMW M5 TOURING REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Straight Pipes deliver a comprehensive review of the 2025 BMW M5 Touring, highlighting its impressive performance and practicality. The G90 M5 Wagon boasts a potent 4.4L Turbo V8 Plug-In Hybrid powertrain, producing 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Reviewers praise its exceptional handling, noting it feels surprisingly agile despite its size and weight, comparing its acceleration favorably to a 911 Turbo. The practicality of the wagon body style is a significant plus, offering ample cargo space and the potential for more wagon variants in North America if sales are strong. While the new iDrive 9 infotainment system is a point of contention, with a preference for older versions and a desire for more physical buttons, the overall driving experience is lauded. The car's ability to switch between full electric and hybrid modes, along with its performance customizations, makes it a versatile machine. The reviewers strongly advocate for the Touring model over the sedan, citing its superior practicality and aesthetic appeal, though acknowledging the sedan's bold styling options. The price point of $138,000 CAD is considered competitive against rivals like the Mercedes-AMG E63S Wagon and Audi RS6 Avant.
