The new BMW 5 Series Touring was unveiled to the world in February this year and is now set to hit the UK market. The Munich-based automaker has introduced four distinct trim levels for the luxury estate: Sport Edition, M Sport, M Sport Pro, and the top-of-the-line M60. Each variant brings its unique appeal to the segment, promising to attract a wide range of customers.

The UK, one of the most important markets for the 5er Touring, will be among the first to experience the all-electric i5 Touring models. The zero-emissions model is now available for order, with plug-in hybrid versions following later in the year. Priced starting at £59,455, deliveries to UK customers are now underway. Full pricing details are available in the table below.
