The 2025 BMW M5 Touring is Coming to America

BMW confirmed that the BMW M5 Touring will be available to customers in the US for the very first time. The prototypes are carefully disguised, but the camouflage cannot completely conceal their character as elite high-performance vehicles. The 7th generation of the BMW M5 has entered the practical phase of its development process.

The upcoming 7th generation of the BMW M5 sedan will be joined for the first time in the US by a Touring variant.

DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT


Posted on: 2016-07-19
Description
Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain model year 2015 bmw m5 sedans manufactured september 4, 2014, through december 4, 2014, 2015 m6 coupes manufactured september 3, 2014, through december 3, 2014, 2015 m6 convertibles manufactured september 8, 2014, through december 4, 2014, and 2015 m6 gran coupe vehicles manufactured september3, 2014, through december 4, 2014.  The affected vehicles have a driveshaft that may have been inadequately welded during manufacturing.

Consequence
Due to the improper weld, the driveshaft may fracture and fail, causing loss of drive to the rear wheels and a loss of propulsion.  Additionally, if the car is turned off and exited without the parking brake applied, the car may roll.  Either condition increases the risk of a crash.  

Corrective Action
Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the driveshaft, as necessary, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin on september 6, 2016.  Owners may contact bmw customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
