![]() ![]() We're hoping the new M5 rights these wrongs and comes in at a less stratospheric price. It isn't as sharp as we've come to expect from M cars of late, and if that wasn't bad enough, the XM gives up too much in the way of everyday comfort and practicality to properly fill the role of SUV. The XM is a powerhouse, yes, but not exactly an enthusiast’s idea of a driver's car. It’ll be interesting to see how the powerplant works in a smaller, somewhat lighter platform. Speculation aside, the big news out of Munich today was to confirm the further hybridization of the M lineup and announce the M5 Touring.īMW says that the new sedan/wagon is now out on public roads, signaling the start of the practical phase of the development process. However, some speculate the M5 could start with around 700 horsepower. Those outputs will likely be similar in the M5, with a Competition version bringing more power. In the XM that hybrid powertrain kicks out 644 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.
