I got told by my regional trainer the reason the M5 touring won’t be here is because of sales lol. People always mention the RS6 because everyone says it does so well.. but it’s the only variant and Audi in Q2 of 2023 has sold about 1,535 that number includes sales of A6, S6, A6 all road and RS6. So that begs the question is it really doing so hot??

Hopefully this gets rectified before the new M5 is released.

I agree with the XM powertrain that alongside they have been giving out techs headaches as a lot are in shops it feels like the worst kind of SMG and the fact if you run out of juice you’re left at 500hp with a left battery slugging you down
