BMW launches first electrified M5 Touring at Dingolfing plant

Third generation available for the first time with electrified drive train.

BMW Group has initiated production of its new M5 Touring at its Dingolfing facility, marking a significant milestone as the third generation of the performance wagon introduces hybrid technology for the first time. The launch follows four months after the start of M5 Sedan production at the same plant.

The latest M5 Touring represents a strategic blend of performance and practicality, featuring an innovative M Hybrid powertrain that combines a high-performance V8 engine with an electric motor. This hybrid system delivers a combined output of 535 kW/727 hp and maximum torque of 1,000 Nm.

“With the BMW M5 Touring, the new BMW 5 Series family ‘made in Dingolfing’ is complete,” said Plant Director Christoph Schröder. “We can now offer customers of our core model series worldwide a unique variety of drive technologies and body variants.”

The vehicle’s plug-in hybrid system features an 18.6kWh battery, enabling up to 42 miles of pure electric range. Charging capabilities include support for up to 7.4kW through a standard home wallbox. The electric motor contributes approximately 200bhp and 200lb ft of torque, working in conjunction with the 4.4-litre biturbo V8 through an eight-speed StepTronic transmission.

Performance figures for the M5 Touring include a 0-62mph time of 3.6 seconds – just 0.1 seconds slower than its Sedan counterpart. The standard top speed is electronically limited to 155mph, though this can be increased to 189mph with the optional M Driver’s Package.

The M5 Touring becomes the seventh M model to be produced at Dingolfing, joining an exclusive lineup that includes the M4 Coupé and Convertible, M8 Coupé, Convertible and Gran Coupé, and the M5 Sedan. Currently, BMW M models represent approximately six percent of the plant’s total production output.

In certain markets, the vehicle’s low CO2 emissions of 46 g/km offer tax advantages, with Ireland notably pricing the M5 Touring below the M3 Touring due to its plug-in hybrid technology.
