There is only one current model!

There are lots of M5 threads here. The Touring is just an M5 with a larger load area.

Zod was just saying, the things you need to look out for are the same as with the saloon, probably too early and too few tourings to know of any extra issues.

Prices are all over the place, so just look at what the dozen of so cars out there are demanding and work it out from there, you will pay between £36-£48k depending who you buy from, there are some low mile cars at top thirties and some higher milers at mid forties, so grab one of the bargains if it is the right colour for you.

Thanks for stating the difference between Saloon & Touring but that was not my question.

I would be interested to hear of any people who own one and their views.

Thx

Sarcasm. Brilliant.

What Zod is saying is that the M5 (saloon or touring) is fundamentally the same. There are no differences other than a bit more metal.

He was also suggesting you search for 'E60 M5', learn about them, and if you feel you could live with the running costs then fine.
If you are interested in what an E60 touring is like to live with then ask that.

If neither of these examples suit your enquiry then please be more specific. It will help.

Costs are no different from a saloon. It's expensive, but not unusually so for a car with 500 bhp. Not much goes wrong unless you are a certain person with a habit of blowing up SMG gearboxes.

That's it.

As the OP has deleted his post, there seems very little point now of leaving the thread open.
