as such a coplete rehaul of the rear structuring and geometry has been needed to provide a similar experience to the standard M5, itself already being much different from the standard 5
so the ///M5 touring is 3 levels evolution wise above a standard 5 and 2 above a standard touring

Maybe so. But the car should have already been here. Difficulties with suspension and such made the wait last longer.
I agree though, maybe they should just hold the car off until the 5er facelift.

I for one would be extremely pissed if I had just bought an M5 Touring, and I saw a newer looking 520i Touring with LED lights, revamped interior and more. Hhehehe.

I think it'll be very interesting when it comes out. But BMW M wants the product to be right, so they'll have to take their time until they sort out the technical issues.

See in that last pic... the roofrails have been removed. I think it looks much, much better. More shooting brake than station wagon now (aren't semantics just such wonderful things?)

Could be a very classy car...
