The Wait is Over: Why the 2025 BMW M5 Touring Wagon is More Than Just a Car

June 11th, 2025 by

For years, enthusiasts have gazed across the pond, yearning for a machine that blends blistering performance with everyday practicality – a true “do-it-all” champion.

We’re talking, of course, about the legendary BMW M5 Touring. While previous iterations teased us from afar, the whispers and hopes have finally materialized.

As highlighted in the latest issue of ONYX Magazine, the 2025 BMW M5 Touring Wagon isn’t just a new model; it’s a statement, and it’s finally here.

Forget everything you thought you knew about station wagons. This isn’t your parents’ grocery-getter (unless your parents have an insatiable appetite for adrenaline). This is pure, unadulterated BMW M division magic, wrapped in a sophisticated and surprisingly versatile package.

“The last M5 Touring to be produced was in 2010, and there were only about 1,000 of them made… A few years ago, BMW released models that were European-only and it created a spark in a lot of American enthusiasts who had a strong desire to see those models make it over here, which they never did.”

Well, that desire has now been met.

Power, Poise, and Practicality: The M5 Touring Difference

So, what makes this M5 Touring the talk of the town and a highlight of ONYX Magazine’s Spring 2025 issue? Let’s break down the incredible engineering:

Horsepower 717 hp
0-60 mph A blistering 3.2 seconds
Powertrain Plug-in Hybrid: Twin-turbocharged V8 + Electric Motor
Drivetrain M xDrive All-Wheel Drive with adaptive differential
Transmission Eight-speed automatic
Electric Range Up to 25 miles (eDrive system)
Cargo Space 18 cubic feet (58 cubic feet with rear seats down)

This isn’t just about raw numbers, though. The M5 Touring delivers an experience. The intelligent M xDrive system provides incredible grip and stability, but for those who crave a more traditional M car feel, Schwartz points out a thrilling feature: “The cool thing with this system is you can change it to two-wheel drive, too. There are a lot of track enthusiasts who want a rear-wheel drive vehicle for when they’re going around the track.”

The integration of the electric motor isn’t just for efficiency; it’s for instant, neck-snapping torque. As Kurt Niebuhr from Edmunds, quoted in ONYX Magazine, puts it:

“‘Fast’ doesn’t quite do the M5 justice… It’s actually difficult to put into words what it feels like when you really lay into the M5 Touring. Yeah, it’s fast. But it’s faster than that. Acceleration is so effortless, especially at moderately high speeds, like 50 to 100 mph, that it’s almost disorienting.”

Beyond the Performance: A Cabin of Luxury and Tech

Step inside, and the M5 Touring continues to impress. ONYX Magazine highlights a cabin that’s both modern and driver-focused:

  • Panoramic Screen: A sleek, expansive display replaces cluttered dials for a more minimalistic, high-tech feel.
  • Panoramic Moon Roof: Floods the cabin with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and luxury.
  • Premium Materials: Expect sumptuous leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting, and a concert-hall sound system.
  • Upgradable Comfort: Options like Merino leather and the Executive option package elevate the experience even further.

And yes, it is a wagon. That means you get that thrilling M5 performance with enough space to throw in golf bags, luggage for a weekend getaway, or even a compact bike in the back. It’s designed to be, as ONYX Magazine states, “a good, all-around practical vehicle.”

A Design That Demands Attention

The exterior styling is equally stunning. With flared wheel arches, widened quarter panels, and aggressive quad exhausts framed by a two-section diffuser, the M5 Touring looks every bit the performance machine it is. The available BMW Iconic Glow Kidney Grill and distinctive lighting signatures ensure it makes an unforgettable entrance (and exit).

The ONYX Perspective: An Icon Arrives

We share this enthusiasm and anticipate strong demand for this unique vehicle. Daniel Schwartz noted, “I think there’s a lot of pent-up demand for that BMW model over here, and I think BMW took notice of that.”

If you’ve been dreaming of a vehicle that seamlessly blends exhilarating performance with everyday usability, the 2025 BMW M5 Touring Wagon demands your attention. It’s more than just a car; it’s proof that you really can have it all.
