BMW 5-Series Touring spy shots – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nOnly days after receiving official word<\/a> that BMW<\/a> would be unveiling its next-generation 5 Series Touring at the Auto Mobil International in Leipzig, our spies have spotted a nearly finished prototype frolicking in the snow. As reported earlier<\/a>, the new Fiver wagon will be very similar to the 5 Series sedan that we recently tested<\/a>, and judging by these early photos, the only real difference seems to be the distinct full-bore hatch out back. Turbocharged engines, eight-speed transmissions and both rear- and all-wheel drive should be on hand.<\/p>\n

Don’t expect the 5 Series touring to show up in U.S. showrooms, though. BMW is hoping that American consumers will warm up to the new Gran Turismo<\/a> model, especially since the proper wagon variant has had relatively dismal sales numbers in recent years. It’s a completely different story in other markets, however, and we’re sure that the new Touring will be welcomed by 5 Series customers looking for quite a bit more in the way of functionality.<\/p>\n
