2025 BMW M5 Touring Confirmed for Canada

BMW will offer the 2025 M5 Touring in Canada, the first time a wagon version of the performance car will be available here.

We knew BMW was introducing a new 7th-generation M5 sedan this year, and we knew there would be a wagon or Touring version offered alongside it – the first such variant since 2007 globally. But we didn’t know that the latter would make it to our market, which has suffered from a paucity of wagons in recent years.

BMW says it’s made the decision to bring the wagon version to Canada due to strong response to a public online survey the automaker launched early this year. Over 7,200 respondents declared their wish for a Touring edition.

The 5 Series overall is on its 8th generation that’s debuting for 2024 with the 530 xDrive, with the 550 xDrive plug-in hybrid model and the all-electric 2025 BMW i5 xDrive40 coming a bit later.

BMW hasn’t shared full details on the M5 Touring as yet, but it has confirmed it will come with a hybrid powertrain, one “closely related” to the system that propels BMW’s M Hybrid V8 GTP race car. That powertrain uses a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 good for a total of 671 hp combined with the electric motor.
