From first glance, its monolithic stance, muscular body lines, and signature M design cues command attention. Up front, sculpted LED headlights and an illuminated BMW badge create a distinctive presence, mirrored by the rear’s full-width LED light bar. Step inside, and you’re immersed in a driver-focused cockpit complete with M-specific displays, premium finishes, and an unmistakable motorsport atmosphere.
“The BMW M5 Touring follows the successful market introduction of the BMW M5 Sedan in South Africa last year,” says Renier Beneke, General Manager for Sales and Distribution at BMW South Africa. “With the Touring derivative, we’re expanding a model that’s already captured the hearts of performance enthusiasts nationwide.”
At its core, the M5 Touring shares the formidable BMW M HYBRID V8 powertrain with the acclaimed M5 Sedan — a potent combination of a twin-turbocharged V8 and BMW eDrive electric motor, producing a staggering 535 kW and 1,000 Nm. Launch control at your fingertips, a 0–100 km/h sprint in mere seconds, and an all-electric range of up to 70 km (WLTP) for emission-free city driving.

Personalisation is extensive, with 10 exterior colours (including Isle of Man Green, Marina Bay Blue, Storm Bay, and Frozen Deep Grey) and six interior upholstery options, paired with M Carbon Fibre or BMW Individual Fineline Dark Oak trims.
The BMW M5 Touring is priced at R2,795,000, including VAT and Motorplan.
A car that’s as comfortable devouring highway kilometres as it is hunting apexes — the M5 Touring isn’t just here to move you, it’s here to thrill you.
