The BMW M5 Touring Turns Every Drive into a Journey
United Arab Emirates – 29 September 2025. The BMW M5 Touring in Isle of Man Green comes alive on the long, rising stretches of tarmac that cut through the folds of the Hajar mountains. The brown ridges look almost endless, silent and heavy with history, but against them the car’s deep green shimmers like a living thing, sharp and precise, full of intent.
It isn’t a mere drive. With 727 horses waiting under the hood, the hybrid M powertrain pulls forward with that unmistakable punch, 0 to 100 in just 3.6 seconds, and yet it feels almost effortless, like the road itself was leaning in to guide you through the climb. At every hairpin bend, the M xDrive system makes sure the car clings to the asphalt with a kind of certainty that permits you to push harder. Inside, the curved display glowed with its sharp orange-and-black interior, and for a second it feels like sitting in a cockpit… ready, but calm, entirely in control.
The beauty of this Touring lies not only in its force but in its practicality. With the wide sunroof pulling in the glowing Arabian light and a cabin big enough for everyday escapes, it turns what could have been just a high-performance machine into something far more personal: a companion for journeys that ask you to load up, head out, and still feel every heartbeat of M precision.
To see the BMW M5 Touring cut through the mountain passes feels almost like a promise… that performance can live hand in hand with utility, that raw speed and elegance can coexist with space and comfort. Out there, surrounded by rock and silence, that promise feels very real.
