With outrageous power, unprecedented efficiency, and a hatch, BMW steers the M5 into a new era. Cresting a rise on the autobahn northeast of Munich, we spot a nuclear cooling tower hulking in the near distance,

Like many of its SUV counterparts, the first U.S.-bound M5 Touring is basically a Vegas illusionist, able to make several hundred pounds disappear.

It is the car the internet has been waiting for, and now we’ve finally driven the BMW M5 Touring 14 years after BMW M first shoehorned a 5-litre V10 between the front wheels of an E61 5-series Touring and affixed an M5 badge to its tailgate.
