BMW never produced a touring version of its legendary E39 M5, but fortunately, there is a tantalizing alternative for you to consider. The 540i Got The Same Kind Of Engine As The M5Engine shot of an E39-generation BMW 540i sedan Bring A TrailerThe wagon in question is the E39-generation BMW 540i Touring, which was produced between 1995 and 2003. The 540i Touring got an M62 V8, an engine that came from the same family as the S62 found in its more powerful sibling. It's possible to turn a standard 540i into an E39 M5 Touring, a car that BMW declined to put into production. Unless you need the razor-sharp driving experience provided by a thoroughbred E39 M5, the manual 540i Touring equipped with the sport suspension package will likely suffice.
