Bavarian automaker BMW is actively engaged in various projects, including the upcoming fourth-generation 2025 X3 luxury compact SUV, a battery supply deal with Rimac for future EVs, and the imminent debut of the new M4 CS in May, alongside the esteemed M5 business Sedan and Touring.
Despite embracing manual transmissions in models like the M2, M3, M4, and Z4, BMW faces criticism for its unconventional automotive designs. From the bold XM and 7 Series to the controversial X7 and iX flagships, opinions vary widely.
However, models like the M2 receive praise for their raw driving experience, featuring the potent 3.0-liter S58B30T0 twin-turbocharged inline-six engine, available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission, and priced at $63,200.
Attention is currently focused on BMW’s teasing campaign for the formidable G90/91 BMW M5 Sedan and Touring. Notably, the Touring variant will be available in the United States, challenging the Audi RS 6 Avant’s dominance in the segment. The enthusiasm surrounding these high-performance executive models is evident in various digital renderings and speculations.
Among these concepts, a.c.g_design suggests skipping the conventional M2 Competition and CS iterations in favor of an M2 Touring vision. Departing from the traditional five-door layout, this proposal envisions a shooting brake design with enhanced rear proportions and increased trunk space, catering to enthusiasts seeking practicality without compromising performance.
