The BMW M5 Touring Wagon is Coming Stateside for the First Time

Wagons hold a strange place in the American car market. Auto journalists and car nerds gravitate to them like moths to a flame, but the general car-buying public seems like it couldn’t care less. That said, a small number of high-performance wagons enter the country every year, including the Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon and Audi RS6 Avant. Americans are about to get one more hot longroof, this time from BMW, as the automaker recently announced that it would bring the incredibly impressive M5 Touring wagon stateside for the 2025 model year.

  • Cprescott We have learned about corporate strategies and know the following to be truths:[list=1][*] Honduh and Toyoduh will continue to restrict lower price offerings as well to restrict production. This pads not only the distributor's but also the dealer's profit bottom line. People who would buy these brands will wait to get what they want or to pay through the nose since they know the artificially high sales prices elevate the so-called used car/resale prices downstream.[/*][*]Truck buyers may want lower priced offerings, but domestic producers will not cater to consumer demand while they can sell those to fleets without much of a discount. There might be discounts on higher priced offerings, but this won't hurt bottom lines since those prices are inflated well above the actual production cost over the past three years. Even giving back $10k likely leaves $3-5k on the bones of the deal for the manufacturer even assuming having to give some back to dealers to clear lots.[/*][*]No longer is there a stigma of having last year's models still for sale. Now we still see 2023 models for sale and there does not appear to be any hurry to offload them.[/*][*]Interest rates will not change much in the next 12 months so people will bite the bullet now if they need something now - most people are not logical and won't look at used alternatives even with higher mileage.[/*][/list=1]
