Beneath the sculpted exterior lies a chassis shared with the M5 Sedan, including a double-wishbone front axle and five-link rear axle with model-specific kinematics and elastokinematics. Standard adaptive M suspension features electronically controlled dampers and rear-wheel steering. According to BMW, the M-specific tuning and individually adjustable dampers enhance handling agility and ride comfort.

Inside, the M5 Touring sports a driver-focused cockpit with M multifunction seats, an M leather steering wheel and M-specific readouts on the BMW Curved Display. A BMW head-up display comes standard. The interior features Merino leather upholstery, a BMW Interaction Bar, four-zone climate control, M-specific lighting with Welcome Animation and a Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system.
