The new BMW M5 Touring has started series production at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, the largest production site of the BMW Group in Europe. The M5 Touring boasts a sleek appearance, its sporty lines and proportions clearly inspired by a racing car. Be that as it may, the M5 Touring is suitable for everyday use, featuring remarkable driving dynamics as well as versatile space for added comfort.
The BMW M5 Touring uses the M HYBRID drive train which combines a high-rpm V8 power train and a highly responsive power development e-drive. The combination of these two engines generates a peak output of 535kW/727 horsepower, with a maximum torque of 1000 Nm.
As it utilises a hybrid system, the M5 Touring runs on both electric and carbon fuel. Combined, the vehicle consumes 2.0 litres of fuel and 30.7 kWh of electricity every 100 km of distance travelled. For CO2 emissions, the car emits 46g/km of CO2 when using the combined engines. On a discharged battery, it uses up 10.9 litres of fuel per 100km (WLTP). With the hybrid system, the car releases relatively low carbon emissions, which serves as a sustainable option for environmentally conscious individuals.
”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.
Christoph Schröder, Plant Director.
Additionally, the plant continues to expand the production of the BMW M high-performance cars. Together with the BMW M4 Coupé and Convertible, the BMW M8 Coupé, Convertible and Gran Coupé and the BMW M5 Sedan – the BMW M5 Touring marks the seventh M model to be produced in Dingolfing. These M models make up around 6% of the plant’s total production.
