2025 BMW M5 TOURING FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 BMW M5 Touring marks a significant arrival for the US market, blending potent performance with practical wagon utility. Powered by a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid system, it delivers a formidable 717 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, with a claimed 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The reviewer highlights the impressive acceleration and the seamless integration of the hybrid system, noting that real-world performance often exceeds BMW's stated figures. While praised for its speed and dynamic driving capabilities, the M5 Touring's handling in hard cornering is noted as being compromised by its weight, with the reviewer suggesting the X5M might offer superior agility. The interior receives mixed reviews, with praise for the available leather options and standard Bowers & Wilkins sound system, but criticism directed at the prevalence of glossy black plastic and the non-intuitive HVAC sliders. Practicality is a strong suit, offering 27.2 cu ft of cargo space and ample rear legroom. Despite its high starting price of $120,000, the M5 Touring is positioned as a desirable, albeit expensive, performance wagon that excels as a daily driver and garners significant attention.
