The new BMW 5 Series Touring will be presented in April as the company keeps a couple of tricks up its sleeve for the post-2010 Geneva Motor Show scene. The 5 Series Touring will be available from September this year with the same engine line-up as the sedan: that includes the 523i fuel version with 204 hp, and the 3.0-litre turbo 535i with 306 hp.

The diesel versions are the 2.0-litre 520d with 184 hp as the entry level model, and the 3.0-litre 530d with 245 hp as the top-of-the-range model. The entry level petrol model consumes 5.2 litres per 100 km. Other modifications to the BMW 5 Series Touring include a larger boot space of 560 to 1,670 litres, which is 60 litres more than the current version. The rear seats can be moved forward for an extra 30 litres, which is more than enough family touring fun. Anyone for ‘I spy’…?
