Station wagons are awesome, but the U.S. doesn’t get many options because they don’t sell well, and automakers still need to make a profit. So when BMW announced the new M5, we just assumed the wagon version would be reserved for other countries. As it turns out, we were wrong. BMW has confirmed the 2025 M5 Touring will be sold in the U.S. for the first time ever.

As you can imagine, turning BMW’s latest super-sedan into a wagon added weight that the M5 definitely didn’t need. It weighs an estimated 5,530 pounds, 140 lbs more than the sedan. So that’s not great. It’s to be expected, sure, but we’re talking about a sport sedan that weighs nearly 1,000 lbs more than two Miatas. It’s still quick as hell, of course, but few things sap the fun out of corners quite like a massive amount of weight.

While the M5 Touring is heavier than the sedan version, it’s probably worth the extra weight for the increased practicality alone — even if its 3.5-second 0-to-60 time is 0.1 seconds slower than the regular M5’s. Plus, it just looks cooler. The current 5 Series is no XM, but it still isn’t all that good-looking. The long roof doesn’t do anything about the front end, but considering how few station wagons we see, it stands out. If BMW later tells us the wagon sells just as well as the sedan, it wouldn’t exactly be the most shocking thing in the world.

Then again, not many people are going to be able to afford either. After all, that 717-hp hybrid powertrain and all the other go-fast goodies that the M5 offers don’t come cheap. If you want an M5 sedan, you’re going to have to come up with $119,500, however, the M5 Touring will cost you $121,500. If you’re interested, BMW says deliveries will begin sometime in the fourth quarter of 2024.
