BMW have been parading their all-new 5-Series around for a while now, dressed, of course, in proper camouflage attire.
We’ve seen the saloon, we’ve seen the Touring and we’ve even seen the GT doing test runs. However, in this particular case, we’re more interested in the Touring version seen as how we’ve gotten our hands on a new and very detailed render courtesy of RM Design.
Basically, this design is an adaptation of the one we showed you late last year, which seemed to spark a very positive response overall. So, now that we’ve got a hypothetical 5-Series Touring on our hands, how does it compare to the one from our spy shots?
The short answer would be that, it’s difficult to tell. BMW made sure to cover up the rear really well on the Touring, making it hard for us to say if this rendering has or hasn’t got anything in common with the real thing. The wheels are obviously a bit of a stretch and so are those beefy arches that remind us of something fit to wear the popular M-badge.
Headlights also seem to be a bit different and so is the design of the bonnet – though we already knew that since the first time we saw this particular render taking the shape of the 5-Series sedan.
Aesthetics aside, speculating about the possible return of the M5 Touring is pretty exciting, even though BMW officials haven’t confirmed anything about a new super-fast family wagon. Another thing we’re awaiting confirmation on is BMW bringing the 5-Series Touring to the States again, where it hasn’t touched down since its E60/E61-generation.
Once out, the all-new BMW 5-Series Touring will compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate, Audi A6 Avant, Volvo V90 and eventually the new Jaguar XF Sportbrake.
