"the performance of the suspension is heavily compromised by the weight... in a corner if there's a bump... It heaves and it can't manage its weight."

It's a very big car, but it's also a very fun car.

critical · Throttle House · ▶ 5:06

5,500 lb, there's just no hiding that kind of weight. I don't care if there's rear axle steering. I'm sure it's helping me right now, but this car feels like an absolute boat.

you can have an infinite amount of fun just getting on the power a little bit too early everywhere.

positive · CAR magazine · ▶ 6:59

This is one of a very limited number of vehicles where I have been able to make myself cars sick while driving this car... This is just so much impossible fun to drive.

positive · A Auto Buyers Guide · ▶ 13:31

It has been such a joy this last week to experience 717 horsepower on a regular commute.

I took this very M5 touring up to Scotland and back earlier this year, and I honestly couldn't think of a better car for the trip.

positive · CAR magazine · ▶ 3:14

It did this trip easily, quickly, smoothly, quietly, comfortably.

positive · Throttle House · ▶ 10:31

There's so much more storage in this touring than the sedan. It's not even a question of comparison.

Value

3.5/512 of 13 reviewersstrong consensus

if you can afford it six figure price tag, this is easily a bargain when you think about it compared to the rest of its rivals

positive · Redline Reviews · ▶ 36:44

the larger, heavier hybrid M5 touring that costs from 114,000 pounds.

CAR magazine · ▶ 1:13

when one opts for a their station wagon, the resale is significantly higher than the sedans.

positive · MotoManTV · ▶ 17:15
