<\/p>\nThe BMW M5 Touring is deep into development, and these new spy shots catch one wearing a bit less camouflage than earlier examples. We expect the debut could be before the end of the year or in early 2024. Sales of the wagon begin in 2024.<\/p>\n
In front, this M5 Touring appears to have a production-spec nose. There’s an aggressive front fascia with large, trapezoidal openings and air curtains on the outer edges. The headlights feature vertical running lights.<\/p>\n

Behind the B-pillar, there’s an extended roof to create the wagon body. There’s a slight curve to it to keep the profile looking somewhat sleek. The wheels feature an array of dual spokes that weave together towards the hub.<\/p>\n
Because this is a wagon, the rear end obviously has a hatchback. The design would give improved cargo space in comparison to the sedan variant. The lower fascia has a boxy design around the quad exhaust pipes \u2013 two on each side.<\/p>\n
The M5 sedan and wagon reportedly use a\u00a0twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8\u00a0with an electric motor. This powertrain makes\u00a0738 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque\u00a0in the\u00a0BMW XM Label Red. Although, the output might be different for this model.<\/p>\n
BMW has only made a few M5 Tourings in the past for customers. The first of them arrived in 1992, and there was a V10-powered version in 2007.<\/p>\n
The new BMW M5 Touring will hit the market at around the same time as two German competitors. Audi is working on the updated RS6 Avant, and Mercedes has a new E63 wagon on the horizon. If you’re in the market for a speedy long-roof model, it seems like things are looking great in the near future.<\/p>\n

Recent design trademark filings from Europe (above) give us a very good idea about how the standard 5 Series Touring looks on the outside. This one lacks the aggressive exterior elements, but the general shape is the same as the M5 in these spy shots.<\/p>\n
