2027 BMW M5: The First M Performance Wagon for Riverside
The 2027 BMW M5 arrives at BMW of Riverside in two body styles that share one powertrain. The M5 Sedan and the M5 Touring both pair a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 with an electric motor for a combined 717 hp, routed through M xDrive all-wheel drive. The Touring is the headline: it is the first M5 wagon BMW has ever offered to buyers in the United States.
Sedan or Touring: One Powertrain, Two Shapes
Mechanically, these cars are the same. The choice comes down to body style and how much you need to carry. The Touring asks a $2,000 premium, carries about 140 more pounds, and gives up a tenth of a second to 60 mph. In exchange, it trades the sedan’s trunk lid for a liftgate and a cargo floor the sedan cannot approach.

What Makes It an M5
The M Hybrid drive system combines a 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8 with an electric motor built into the transmission, producing 717 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque in both body styles. Power runs through an eight-speed M Steptronic gearbox with Drivelogic and paddle shifters, then to M xDrive and the Active M Differential, an electronically controlled rear differential lock that sharpens traction and cornering.

A First for American Buyers
BMW has built an M5 Touring twice before, in the 1990s and again in the 2000s. Neither was ever sold here. The current car is the first M5 wagon an American buyer can order from a dealership, which is reason enough to look at one even if you walked in for the sedan.
