There's a lot of money to be made in charging M owners per launch mode engagement.

$150k car—-very few commenters here will be able to afford this electronic wizardry.

wdeerfield · 07-25-2022, 05:02 PM

Oh just what we need another $160k wagon 6 people in LA will lease and 4 YouTube "influencers" will keep for 6 months before "giving it away" on omaze

Quadruple VANOS · 07-25-2022, 05:07 PM

BMW should be careful to avoid causing Z06-style butt hurt by misquoting the price too low. Tip: Tell everyone the M5T will be ~$185k and let them be surprised when it's "only" $160k.

///M ARMY · 07-25-2022, 05:10 PM

so down...been waiting on this...

G30M · 07-25-2022, 05:17 PM

so there may or may not be a M5 Touring which may or may not be a V8 Hybrid which may or may not land on the North American continent

you will have to subscribe to each seat

nicksm3 · 07-25-2022, 05:30 PM

So if this is true, how did they pull off an M5 touring but not an M3?

The 6 owners will truly be proud.

MParallel · 07-25-2022, 05:40 PM

I have no stake in this, but cool.

El2k3 · 07-25-2022, 05:50 PM

If this is true. Probably bringing it to compete with the RS6 Avant

I held up my end of the bargain! Manual G80 for me.

Same here bro! We keep our promises

BimmerMat135 · 07-25-2022, 06:10 PM

Well i guess that it's time to cancel my RS6 order my Audi SA might be sad.

I think people wanted a M3 wagon at $85k. Not a $125k wagon. At least that is what I wanted, I never asked for this and not now. About 5+ years too late.

Yup, did this with my M2 in 2016. Everyone was marking up when it first launched so I got a dealer in Florida to order it and ship it to NJ for me when it finally came in. Paid msrp and not a penny more.

Omg excited

NGT2 · 07-25-2022, 06:45 PM

If the M5 touring is coming to the US, does that mean the regular 5 series touring model is coming to the US?

A manual touring would be incredible. I have to assume they won't do it, especially since they're only offering the M3 Touring in Competition (A/T) spec. But I'll keep hoping...

Regardless, any U.S. wagon news is news worth celebrating!

If the only engine option is the plug in hybrid, a manual is not possible. Depending on configuration of the power trains (most manufacturers prefer the electrics and petrol to be separate for reliability interns) most of these will have one transmission for the petrol and one for the electric. The i8, the Mini Countryman all 4 se, the euro only X2 plug in hybrid met these criteria.

The exception to this has only been one power train in the 330e and 540e and X3e (and maybe the X5e, but I don't know for sure) which has an electric "flywheel" between the engine and the transmission to drive it. But even these have been auto only because of technical concerns.

I'm doubtful BMW will replicate that feat for the M5 touring. So likely a manual won't be possible.

:

Because they didn't bring the regular 3 series touring here to start with and the cost to federalize just the M3 touring itself was too high. The assumption here would be that they will bring the regular 5 series touring at the outset and this way they won't have such a high cost to federalize just the M5 touring.

That's what I'd like to know! An //M540iT would be plenty.
