BMW M5 Sports Wagon spotted

High-performance estate circulates the 'Ring

BMW 5-Series Touring

The latest high-performance BMW estate, the M5 Sports Wagon, has been spotted circulating at the 'Ring (see link to spy shot below).

It'll house the now-familiar 5-litre 507bhp V10 that's found in the M5 saloon, and which shoves the 1,830Kg four-door to 60mph in 4.7 seconds.

At present, the top performing 5-Series Touring is the 550i M Sport with a price tag of £47,775, whose 4.8-litre V8 pumps out 367bhp and 362lb-ft of torque at a lazy 3,400rpm, propelling the load lugger with a manual gearbox to 60mph in 5.6 seconds. Expect the M5 version to improve on that figure.
