BMW M5 Touring

The exterior of the BMW M5 Touring.

Power that builds up from within: the sporting proportions of the BMW M5 Touring result from its ability to perform. The V10 high-rev engine breathes in freely through air vents at the front and side and out through four chrome-plated stainless steel exhaust pipes. Flaps on the bumpers and rear diffuser help to transfer the tremendous power of the engine reliably to the road. The BMW M5 Touring keeps the promises that its shape makes.

The interior of the BMW M5 Touring.

The versatile character of the BMW M5 Touring is also reflected in its interior, with the typical M-style details creating a fascinating atmosphere. Savour, for instance, the signature layout of the instrument panel, subtly enhanced by illuminated, white scale rings and red needles, and the exclusive luxury of Merino leather upholstery. M seats for perfect support and the M steering wheel with gear-change keys provide sports-style ergonomics. After all, why shouldn’t a sports car be an estate?

The V10 high-rev engine in the BMW M5 Touring.

The letter M stands for the phenomenal qualities of this engine: 507 hp (373 kW) from 5 litres of displacement, 520 Nm maximum torque at 6,100 rpm. Press the accelerator gently and the V10 high-rev engine responds with instant power. It takes just 4.8 seconds for the BMW M5 Touring to go from 0 to 100 km/h, and just ten seconds more to reach 200 km/h - a total of 14.8 seconds is all the M5 Touring needs to set a new standard in engine performance.

The intelligent safety system in the BMW M5 Touring.

Sports-style driving requires exceptional safety. Of central importance in the M5 Touring’s comprehensive protection package: driver, front passenger, side and head airbags. All airbags are controlled by the perfectly calibrated safety electronics system – this intelligent coordinator ensures that each bag is inflated to the correct degree to minimise the effects of an impact. The same system can also activate the seat belt tensioners, deactivate the central locking or cut the fuel pump’s activity.

The M Drive function on the BMW M5 Touring.

M Drive enables drivers to configure the BMW M5 Touring’s principal functions to suit their individual preferences. These include Digital Motor Electronics (DME), the sequential M transmission with Drivelogic, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Electronic Damper Control (EDC), the Head-Up Display and the active backrest function of the M multifunctional seat. A single touch of the M Drive button on the steering wheel activates the preselected settings - for exceptionally comfortable or exceptionally dynamic driving.
