BMW M5 Touring Teaser Shows Off Upcoming, High-Performance Wagon

The next-generation BMW M5 will include a Touring wagon variant, and a recently released teaser provides a glimpse of its silhouette. The long-roof model is set to be released in 2024.

BMW has promised that the M5 Touring will offer “uncompromising long-distance comfort and impressive spaciousness.” The company has also confirmed that the vehicle will utilize a partially electrified drivetrain. This particular setup is believed to be related to the one found in the BMW XM, which includes a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine, an electric motor, and a 29.5-kilowatt-hour battery. While the Label Red version of the SUV generates 735 horsepower and 735 pound-feet of torque, the power output for the M5 family remains unknown at this time.

Audi RS6 Avant: More Aggressive Model Spotted at the Nurburgring

The Audi RS6 Avant is currently undergoing testing at the Nürburgring in preparation for its latest update. A spy video captures the high-performance wagon in action on the track as well as on the public roads near the circuit.

The updated RS6 Avant showcases a more aggressive design compared to the current model. Notably, the front fenders have been widened, featuring openings at the rear section just ahead of the doors. These openings are likely functional and could contribute to brake cooling or improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics.

Additionally, there are several minor revisions to the front fascia. The bottom opening now extends to the intakes in the corners.

The side sills have also been restyled, displaying a more intricate design.

At the rear, a larger wing is attached to the back of the roof. The rear bumper has been reshaped, while the presence of the oval-shaped exhausts remains.

BMW Tuner Boosts M3 Touring to 641 Horsepower and Gives it a Bold Blue Paint Job

Manhart, a German tuner, has taken the BMW M3 Touring and transformed it into a powerful wagon that now generates 641 horsepower and 590 pound-feet (800 Newton-meters) of torque. This is a significant upgrade over the original stock output of 503 hp and 479 lb-ft.

The increase in power is mainly achieved through the implementation of Manhart’s MHtronik control unit. Additionally, the exhaust system has been completely revamped, with Manhart opting for Remus components and incorporating HJS sport downpipes.
