Either you didn’t watch the video, or you watched the wrong video

Along with the 500 pounds of weight?

Ain’t no free lunch with hybridisation. Batteries and motors weigh a lot.

You just killed the joy in my life

I was fairly sure it was going to be hybrid. I could be wrong of course. I’m sure others will know but I recall hearing that was the case. Ie it was going to use the XM hybrid powertrain.

Yeah it’s hybrid

You gotta fill it up with gas and also charge it.

I can handle the XM drivetrain so long as they leave its looks behind

I want an aggressive beastly M5 CS Touring, not one with an identity crisis

The kind of price a M5 CS Touring would come in at would put into the bracket of some epic all time cars. It would be like spending big on a special edition Omega when you could just get a Patek Phillipe for the same price

They could easily put it on the market for less than the XM red label and make it a few hundred lbs lighter. The XM is a "genuine M" craftship and the M5 is based on the mass produced G60, consequently much more efficient to source and assemble. Let it come!

Yeah, but, can you go diving 30m deep with the PP? In not a watch person though, least time I had one was in first year of highschool.

I imagine the M5CS touring would be priced around $330-$360k. If the car is as good as the sedan version in 2021 but better because XDrive and the batteries, and if only a few hundred are built, I'm sure a few folks would consider it a fun option

What else would there be to compete with it? The sedan did 0-100 in 2.9 seconds making the fastest sedan in history - the hybrid wagon would probably be testing factionally more, but what a good it's gonna be to drive one, and keep going on, and on, and on till you run out of roads
