BMW is developing two particularly powerful station wagons, which will join the Bavarian model range in 2025.
German media reports that to compete with Audi Sport and Mercedes-AMG, the Bavarian M division is preparing its own offer, which is being developed on the basis of the next M5 and i5.
The new M5 will arrive at the end of summer 2024, which is a year later than the new generation 5 Series and the electric i5. In the engine compartment, there will be a hybrid device that is technically very similar to BMW’s currently most powerful model XM. Let us remind you that the crossover XM is available in a standard version with 650 hp and as a Label Red model with 750 hp. This means that the M5/M5 Touring can count on similar or even slightly more power, as well as an electric range of up to 100 kilometers. Such a model could appear on sale in the first quarter of 2025.
The same source reports that unlike the current i4 and i7, which do without the powerful M model, the i5 will have one. It is predicted that the i5 Touring will be built according to a similar scheme as the Audi Q8 E-Tron S – two powerful electric motors in the rear, one in the front. For an all-wheel drive car, it will provide power over 800 HP, while the latest generation battery will allow traveling at least 600 kilometers to the next stop at an electric charging station.
The last M5 Touring station wagon was available in the E60/E61 generation (2004-2010). At the time, it was equipped with a 5-liter V10 gasoline engine.
