Who wants a M5 Touring?

I really think the M5 Touring should be built, NOW!

The RS6 Avant is an awesome car, but I think an M5 Touring could be so much better!

that's funny....I called BMWUSA last week about the 5 series Touring and they said, there's no plans to bring them to the States anytime soon...

As awesome as that would be. There just isn't enough market for the car. Even I Europe Audi hasn't sold that many Avantes compared to the RS7.

My desire for a Touring vehicle was the one pull that got me to park in front of a Cadillac dealership. Although GM won’t get my money they definitely have my respect for building a 556hp, 6MT wagon.

I think audi would sell more rs6 if they got more realistic with the price. They are much more than m5/e63.

Test drove this one. List price of 94k gbp.

Agreed. Owning a high performance wagon should command the price of exclusivity as does say a Ferrari.

Without a doubt, there is no car I want more than a F11 or GXX M5 wagon. They should do them by Eurodelivery or PCD only...

I almost purchased an E63S wagon but went for the M5 due to the sick discount over MSRP

I'll add a '+1' to the M5 touring partition! Gxx with optional xdrive please.

Must say that I much prefer the exterior styling of the RS6 avant in comparison to the M5 (not so keen on the RS7). If the RS6 didn't still have the typical Audi wooden driving traits in summer use, I wouldn't hesitate. Obviously it turns the tables on M5 in winter use (at least in UK).

Having said this the new X5M styling looks great and better than the F15 M50d. It's a shame that most UK motorists would treat you as a social pariah if you bought one. Then there's the 8-sp ZF... bring on the M5 touring

+1 as well.

There are rumors that the next-gen M5 will have an estate/wagon version. Sweet. If MB can release an E63 AMG S-MATIC touring wagon in Stateside, then so can BMW

P.S.
Still, if you have lots of $$$$, you can ask BMW Individual to make you an M5 wagon using the current F11 platform

Think something like this but with M5 engine, body, 343M wheels, the works......

Funny I did the exact same thing
Went to see E63S 2014 and came our with a 1000 kms demo M5....
So I'm not the only one.

I would buy a M5 wagon in a heartbeat.
