Current-generation BMW 5 Series Touring<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

BMW<\/a> has announced the debut of the company’s latest generation 5 Series<\/a> Touring, so rumors of the Touring’s demise may have been exaggerated. To be fair, the BMW 5 Series Touring was never going to go away altogether – not when it sells in big numbers in European markets. That said, BMW foresees its new double-hinged hatchback 5 Series Gran Turismo as<\/a> cannibalizing the wagon’s already tiny sales<\/a> in the U.S., so we don’t expect to see the new Touring model in American showrooms. The rest of the world can look forward to a new wagon that is lower, lighter and more of a looker than the hunchback on the other side of the showroom.<\/p>\n

The world premiere of the new 5 Touring will take place at the 2010 Auto Mobil International (AMI) in Leipzig. Although no photos or details have been released, this fourth generation 5 Series station wagon will share a lot in common with the recently introduced F10 2011 5 Series<\/a> sedan that we sampled in Spain last month. That means new engines, gearboxes, suspension architecture, rear-wheel steering, user-selectable adaptive drive settings, brake energy regeneration and another generation of iDrive, for better or for worse. We’ll get you more details and photos as they become available, in the meantime, make the jump for the official press release.<\/p>\n
