First Drive Experience-BMW M5 Touring
Blending all the attributes of a four-door with a practical load space makes the M5 Touring a strong addition to BMW's M line-up

It's been a long time coming, but the four exhaust pipes sticking out of the back of this BMW 5-Series can mean only one thing... The legendary M5 Touring has finally arrived in the UK.

This is the first time an estate version of the German company's super-saloon has been sold in right-hand-drive form - even though left-hookers are available only in small numbers. And the really good news is that it has exactly the same 507bhp 5.0-litre V10 engine and seven-speed SMG gearbox as the mighty M5 saloon.

With its spacious body and hi-tech suspension, the latest M5 Touring is sure to attract some serious attention. BMW feels that the time is right to take on Mercedes' AMG estates and the Audi RS Avants by selling a machine that combines supercar performance with practicality. As a result, the newcomer has the same brutal acceleration, huge grip and powerful brakes as the four-door.

I love the car but hate the tail lights. I think Audi has the best station designs out there between the german trio.
