Readers familiar with this writer would know that I prefer wagons or estates to sedans. And so, writing with great glee, I'm thrilled to share with you that there will be a wagon version of the BMW 5 Series for this generation. This is the sixth BMW 5 Series Touring, born out of the eighth-generation 5 Series.

Compared to its predecessor, the new G61 is 97mm longer at 5,060mm, 32mm wider at 1,900mm and 17mm taller at 1,515mm. This 5'er Touring has the longest wheelbase in its class, increasing by 20 millimetres to 2,995 millimetres. For the first time, the 5'er Touring will be available as a battery electric vehicle (EV or BEV), and headlining the EV segment is the i5 M60 xDrive Touring.
