It's funny. I grew up in a station wagon. In my child-rearing years, minivans were hot. Then SUVs. Then crossovers. Now wagons are what people want again? Maybe minivans will follow in ten or so years. Then long hair. And bell bottoms...and so forth.
@@ectofix8447 I've never liked minivans or SUVs, I've always thought they were ugly and inefficient. The crossovers are okay, but they're just supersized sedans with a lift. I'd definitely prefer being lower to the ground and having less frontal area, yet still keeping the storage space. It just seems like a much better design.
@@chrisbirch4161 Previous gens Outback were great but it turned into a full on suv now. Plus it looks awkward. Best gen was the mid 00's with boxer 6 cylinder.
Well it's not just a normal station wagon it's a high performance , tech. advanced all round practical car that also goes like a rocket on the highway. It' ain't no National Lampoon's , Chevy Chase , "Vacation " station wagon . It's a complicated car and more complicated means more moving parts which means more things can go wrong with it. That's just how it is . If you can't keep up with the maintenance then don't buy this thing in the first place !
S6x engine is around for 12 years with many improvements since birth. I’ve found M5 servicing to be reasonable. The plug-in piece… it’ll need a battery after a while. No biggie.
Shiny black plastic makes zero sense on materials that are exposed to sunlight. Every blemish becomes all I can see. Also the glare is awful at certain angles. Also every bit of dust shows up instantly.
Because it is cheap. That's all there is to it. Manufacturers save money, while still upping the price of new vehicles, thereby increasing their profit and there is nothing we as consumers can do about it (other than not buying the car, but we know that won't happen). All the new German luxury cars are covered in it.
I agree,..... you may be mostly referring to the interior, but I think additionally so on the exterior, always sends it downmarket like a refrigerator rental outlet.
The orange seats look great on camera. I am tired of the all dark interiors where you cant see any details. It bet the manufactureres want to hide cheap materials with all dark interiors.
I've been to the Moto GP event in Spain this week and I've seen this and the M5 sedan in real life cause BMW is the main sponsor and they have a bunch of new models there. The wagon looks way better than the sedan. The front end is tall almost like an SUV front end so a wagon rear end suits it better. I can't understand how can it achieve such a low aero CX.
Great performance estate, we call them estates in Europe not station wagons , still prefer an Audi RS6 Avant it's the best uberwagon on the planet IMHO .
BMW hybrid! Wow! That think will be a tank…a fast tank, but a tank none the less! Fun watching the industry evolve and as a bimmer fan, this is fun! Thanks BMW, TFL, Roman!
I love that wagons are making a comeback. There's a reason they were so popular for a while. Split the difference between the cargo space and convenience of a small to medium sized SUV and the driving dynamics of a sedan.
Station wagons were all the rage back in the 70's! MANY families had big, huge, boxy station wagons like my parents Ford Country Squire which would make a Chevrolet Suburban today look like a compact car! Wagons back then were HUGE! I love wagons and always have. Now they are making a return, thank goodness. I don't like driving a big SUV. I just don't. I would much rather have something like this. A super car disguised as a station wagon. Twin turbo V8, yes sir, sign me up! Now the Audi RS6 has some competition. I also saw a new Buick Station Wagon the other day (i'm sure Buick called it a "crossover" or something) but it looked fantastic. In fact, I would have bought my wife one had I not just got her a new Subaru Outback, another car I call a "station wagon" although Subaru calls it an SUV. SUV was a word that wasn't even thought of back in the 70's. They were STATION WAGONS! Those, and VANS were all the rage! Many more VANS than you see on the road today. BIg boxy vans! I love that that this new BMW station wagon (or whatever BMW calls it now days), has electric capability added and is a hybrid vehicle. That's cool. This is the perfect supercar family hauler. I absolutely LOVE THIS THING! I want one. And the color in that beautiful (and very striking) green color and bright orange leather seats! PERFECT.
The reason why I'm looking at getting a Mazda CX-50 or a Toyota Crown Signia is because those are the "closest" looking to wagons. Im a BMW guy, the M is cool, but I wish and hope that maybe they will offer a similar setup but with the inline 6. Kind of like what Mazda has with their CX-90. Would be an awesome daily driver.
I would personally be driving a Golf R wagon if it was offered in the states. The amount of cheap-looking shiny plastic inside and out on this M5 is ridiculous. Center console looks like it's from a Hyundai.
I want it... but it's just out of my $$ range... I'll take it off lease in 3 years... hope someone orders one up nice. I like the red seats with the dark blue please... how much does the rear steer cost, think we can save some money there... seems like a lot of cars coming out with rear steer... are they using shared parts?
What a nice looking car!!! Beautiful car on its own, and beautiful colors inside and out!!!! And yes, station wagons are very practical; I drive the VW Golf Alltrack and it has plenty of space to move a college kid around!
@@snowman2834 im buying an lc500 and not pretending like im in a competition with everyone about who has the most wasted power on the highway. the germans have nuked the fridge.
What a load of 💩. For years we have been wanting wagons. Now as the ICE is going away they are bringing in performance wagons that push north of $100k. It’s saddening that affordable wagons are mostly gone. Luckily my wife still has her XC70. I lost my XC70 due to all these floods here in Florida and now have a XC90.
Couldn’t find another XC70 like mine, and the one V90CC I did find was sold. The V60’s are a little on the small side for me. I like to car camp. The other V90’s were way out of my budget. My XC90 T6 Momentum was only $18k with 80k miles on it and offered a 4 year/50k mile warranty. I like it, but I see like 10 of these everywhere I go, where as the estates are like a unicorn. At least in Florida they are. I was going to fly to New Jersey to buy the 2017 V90CC too, as I flew to Detroit when I bought my XC70.
The only disappointment is that bmw didn't take any of the polymer carbon fiber tech from the i8 and i3 and make this thing not so damn heavy. I get it's a wagon but the new m5 is heavier than your average kamala supporter.
The idea of a high-performance wagon is awesome! I love it. Now, this specific car, in my opinion, is ugly, after all the beautiful designs it's sad what BMW became/ You have the best designers in the world and you can't make those screens not look like they were purchased from Temu? When are you gonna stop with that terrible glossy material, it's terrible, I know it's cheap for you, but come on! Look at the exterior lines, it looks like something ChatGPT would draw. Last but not the least, hybrid? Really? M5?
It's BMW's way of calling a car a "wagon" or "estate car". Audi calls theirs "Avant", Jaguar called theirs (when they had more than two models) the "Shooting Brake". It's not just in the US, but also in Europe.
It's crazy when he said there's no more manual and then the spokesperson giggled or like laughed a little bit bro.... I'm not the people that's like only manual forever but I would say for sure that was a statement for sure..
Good lord, can you imagine working on that engine? Fast foward 10-15 years when all those hoses and plastic T's start to fail. F-me no thanks. Wagons are cool tho.
Fast wagons have been effectively dodo'ed since the demise of the CTS-V wag, which is a crying shame as those are stupidly priced on the preowned market but still very desirable. You'd think someone would have taken up the slack with at least a minimal offering, but no. While I would to have loved to have seen an M5 wag years and years ago, better late than never. I've seen a few much older AMG variants imported quite some time ago, but they are almost as rare as the V-wags anymore.
I do now that you mention them. Off the top of my head, i think production predated the V's by a good bit. We had a family friend with one who got obliterated by a semi truck in one. I would inagine he'd tell you what he thinks of quality starting by how many surgeries he had after the accident.
This will be the last M5 ice cause BMW is no longer hiring ice engineers and they only update the engines to fullfill emission regulations. Game over for ice and M5 EV will follow. Except maybe ALPINA branded BMW cause this is an independent niche manufacturer which has not to fullfill the fleet emissions.
Yes i need a car that is woth 50% of my loan as soon as i drive it off the lot. I could also expect ridiculous maintenance costs, no friends and look like a tool driving around
I've owned several bmws. Nothing past 20011 though. BMW has lost their way. It all started with Chris Bangle. I think all the good designers have left for asia. Its unbelievable. Im 51, i was the target audience of this. They need to figure out how to evolve like porsche did with the taycan cross tourismo. Less is more BMW. Gross. Taking this car to the known truck guys is a perfect fit. Of course they are going to be impressed.
It only took them more than 20 years. Mercedes had no trouble selling their AMG E class wagons, but BMW takes a few decades to catch on. And now that they finally do it, it's overweight, overpriced, and full of cheap crappy plastic and idiotic screens
I've said it a billion times it seems. The only people who GAF about wagons are Subaru owning Northeastern librarian Karens, and automotive journalists.
The new M5 was basically built for the American market. It's more muscle car than sports sedan. Although I wonder if Americans will bite. The X5M was a hard pill to swallow. And this is the same car in a different skin.. but let's see
Not bragging: I make $500k a year and am 46. I race my F80 M3. I am the target audience for this car as I have a family. THE STYLE IS TERRIBLE. If I am the target audience…. Good luck.
The only drivers who get to enjoy this are suits or those who flip cars for a living and rid them just before or after the warranty coverage is over. Under the hood over the engine... PLASTIC FANTASTIC! Doesn't matter how much cooling that baby got, cracks and leaks are bound to happen with the amount of heat that engine produces.Sympathies to the dummy-101 poor sod who drives this after warranty unless you are a gear head DIY-er enthusiast. Hopefully third party BMW motorsports companies will provide aftermarket support to replace a lot of that plastic. Adding a hybrid system to this is great when it's new.When it ages - oh my days... the electrical issues to come.
Wow, is that hideous! There is not one thing that looks good on either the interior or exterior. I'm not sure what you guys are looking at. And super complicated! A hard pass!!
I wish we got more station wagons in the US! I'd much rather have a station wagon than a "crossover."
Same, I don't know why people choose lame crossovers over wagons.
Get an Outback....best of both.
It's funny. I grew up in a station wagon. In my child-rearing years, minivans were hot. Then SUVs. Then crossovers.

What a great idea you guys had getting your own track to race on so you don't end up accidently following in MKBHD's footsteps. TFL for life!
What happened to him? Busted for speeding or something?
Edit: I looked it up, not exactly busted (by the cops) but was severely speeding in a video.
I don't understand the attraction to piano black plastic, especially in high dollar vehicles.
Yeah a nice wood or aluminum finish would be more appropriate and classy .
Shiny black plastic makes zero sense on materials that are exposed to sunlight. Every blemish becomes all I can see. Also the glare is awful at certain angles.
Also every bit of dust shows up instantly.

That guy did NOT want to hear about the urus. LoL 😂
Wait til people comment on how much it resembles the CX70/90 looks
It was so weird that he even brought it up. He is so socially awkward.
I hope everyone goes out and leases these so i can buy a used one in 4 years
If people keep bitching about the weight, that ‘coming to the US’ will be over pretty soon unfortunately
I wish the front was like the M8. I need to get this. ! This legit is really practical, then most of SUV here

Nice to feel some fresh air with this wagon, SUV´s are so boring

What do you mean the Italians made a louder exhaust than Germans? Given that Italians are know for subtlety and reticence, I find that surprising.
I do like the configurability of electric-to-ICE modes. Weekly we would be in all EV. Weekends and Holidays we would be Hybrid/ICE.
The guy from BMW: what I say - you have to drive it, not talk about it.
15 min out of the 23 of the review - talking about the car.😂😂
Now they need to bring the other wagons like the 530e Or diesel!
I love this wagon and the idea. Just a little leery of the complexity, plug-in hybrids create.
Europe required the PHEV part. BMW decided to use it for power😂
Let’s put the mic in front of the exhaust and get distorted pops on a revved up cold start before the oil makes it up the motor. 😂
