I’m lucky sufficient to be residing in Europe, the final bastion of wagons. The long-roof formulation stays common on the Old Continent, a lot in order that I’m spoiled for alternative since there’s nice selection. BMW did the maths and determined it was value launching one other 5 Series Touring. However, the G61 shouldn’t be as sensible because it may have been because it has misplaced one useful characteristic.

Ever because the authentic E34 Touring, together with the uber-rare M5 pictured beneath, the 5 Series wagon has allowed house owners to open the rear glass independently of the tailgate. It’s significantly helpful for while you shortly wish to throw small stuff within the cargo space with out having to open your entire tailgate. Well, you will not be capable of try this anymore with the brand new 5er property since that characteristic is unfortunately now gone.
