It is the ideal car BMW will not make.
BMW hasn’t produced a fully-fledged M wagon for over a decade. The recipe will be used to create the M3 touring. Independent artist X Tomi Design thinks bigger than that and gives the newly launched M5 CS the long roof treatment as a possible follow-up to V10-powered E61 Touring, which was discontinued in 2010.
Although it’s too late for the M5 to add a wagon, our Hungarian friend stretched the sedan to make this estate. It’s likely to be more popular than the donor car, and there would likely be enough demand for a limited production run at a fair price. This M5 CS Touring is only available in virtual reality.
The M5 wagon is a family-friendly vehicle that features a powerful engine in the front and large cargo space at the rear. It would also be ideal for one-car garages. The sedan can accelerate to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, and to 124 miles (200 km/h), in 10.4 seconds. It also has a very limited top speed of 190 mph (305km/h). We can only imagine how kids would be able to get to school on time if the BMW M5 CS was made into a wagon.
The M5 CS is a little less practical than the HTML5 Competition because it eschews the 3-seat rear bench in favour of a pair a body-hugging, individual seats with a storage space between them. This compromise is one that some would accept if BMW brought back the M5 wagon.
Although there is no M5 wagon, there is a silver lining in that an M Performance Touring variant is available in certain parts of the world. The M550i’s twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 has over 500 hp. It’s not as powerful as the CS’s 626-hp output, but it is still plenty of power for a wagon. Audi can direct you to the RS6 Avant or Mercedes to the AMG E63 S Wagon if you require more power.
