2012 BMW M5 Touring – Click above for high-res image<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nMaster photochopper Jon Sibal<\/a> has put digital pen to virtual paper to render up the next BMW M5<\/a>, but unlike his previous F11 ‘chops, he’s applying his skills to the yet-to-be-confirmed Touring version<\/a> of the mid-size bahn-burner.<\/p>\n

As Sibal points out in his post, BMW<\/a> has an on-again, off-again history when it comes to five-door versions of the M5, with the E28 and E39 only available sans-hatch, while the E34 and outgoing E60 have been available in five-door form.<\/p>\n

There’s a good chance that the F11 version<\/a> will be made, nixing the current model’s V10 powerplant<\/a> in favor of a 570-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8<\/a> pulled from the X6 M<\/a>. However, the chances of the hi-po hatch making it to the States is virtually nill, as the 5 Series Gran Turismo<\/a> is set to take the standard Touring’s place in the U.S. market. So does that mean a M5 GT could be in the works? Here’s hoping, and maybe Sibal will render one up in the meantime.<\/p>\n
