BMW Group has commenced series production of the new BMW M5 Touring at its Dingolfing facility in Germany, four months after the BMW M5 Sedan began rolling off the same production line.
The new M5 Touring is noted for its M HYBRID drive train that combines a high-revving V8 engine with an e-drive system, delivering a peak performance of 535kW/727hp and a maximum torque of 1,000Nm.
The BMW M5 Touring's advanced powertrain offers a combined consumption of 2.0 l/100km and 30.7kWh/100 km, with CO2 emissions rated at 46g/km.
Furthermore, its fuel consumption with a discharged battery is 10.9 l/100km, categorising it in CO2 emissions class B when weighted and class G with a discharged battery.
The addition of the BMW M5 Touring to the Dingolfing plant's production portfolio reinforces the location's role in manufacturing BMW M high-performance vehicles.
The M5 Touring is the seventh M model produced at the facility, which accounts for approximately 6% of the plant's total output.
The plant also manufactures the BMW M4 Coupe and Convertible, the BMW M8 Coupe, Convertible, Gran Coupe, and the BMW M5 Sedan.
BMW Group Plant Director Christoph Schroder said: “With the BMW M5 Touring, the new BMW 5 Series family ‘made in Dingolfing’ is complete.
“We can now offer customers of our core model series worldwide a unique variety of drive technologies and body variants.”
Recently , BMW Group has also commenced production of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe at the Leipzig plant.
This model, which is set to launch in March 2025, will join a diverse production lineup that includes the BMW 1 Series, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, and MINI Countryman.
