Prior to that, it was largely exclusive to the Old Continent, with the third-generation (E34) and fifth-generation (E61) getting the full motorsport treatment. Perhaps it's the fact that it's forbidden fruit for the longest time, the current M5 Touring has become a bit of a surprise hit for BMW North America.At the moment, the split between M5 sedan and Touring sales is about even. Despite criticisms about its weight, the G90 and G99 generations of the M5 have proven successful, and one can say that the Touring further expanded its appeal. Given that, is there a chance of BMW adding more Touring models to its American roster?A Glimmer of HopeMichael Keller is BMW North America's vice president of product management, and he recently sat down with Bimmer Life to discuss potential future products. There, he was asked if there was a possibility of expanding the Touring lineup in the U.S, which literally consists of just one model at the moment.AdvertisementAdvertisement"We are seeing continuous demand. We also saw customers petitioning for the M3 Touring, bringing it to the U.S. There is momentum in the market. These are all indications where we continue monitoring the market and trigger the right discussions," said Keller. Now, that's just a snippet of his response to the question, so don't get your hopes fully up just yet.He added, "We will look into Touring concepts where it makes sense for the U.S. market, because at the moment we are quite happy with the M5." The way we interpret it, the company is giving it more thought, but it doesn't seem to be in too much of a rush to do so. Besides, the next-generation 3 Series Touring will debut later this year, while the facelifted 5 Series Touring is just about ready to be released.What Models Can Be Considered?The M5 Touring and Audi RS6 have been strong sellers so far. However, those are niche, high-performance models that aren't entirely focused on sales volumes. It's great that U.S consumers have been receptive towards these hot wagons, but it's a different story the lower the price tag goes.Volvo, which had been championing wagons for decades, has discontinued the V60 Cross Country, leaving the company without a wagon in the U.S market. Audi A6 Allroad sales are pretty much a trickle at this point, and the same could be said about the Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain. At least the Audi is getting a new generation, but it's uncertain if it'll reach U.S showrooms. Demand for 'regular' wagons in the U.S has been so weak that Mercedes-Benzisn't even considering a long-roof version of the C-Class EV, a stark contrast to BMW.AdvertisementAdvertisementWith that, BMW could take the performance wagon angle should it decide to add more Touring models in America. The 540i and 550e would be great candidates, but we'll lean more on the latter given its higher output. It could perhaps be pitched as a junior M5 Touring alternative, given its plug-in hybrid setup. Given the petition to bring the M3 Touring to the U.S, BMW could consider adding the next-gen 3 Series Touring stateside, but only as the M50. That said, there could be a redesigned M3 Touring, given that it has become a hit, and with the success of the M5 Touring in America, BMW North America should give it some serious thought.BMWThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jun 11, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
