What Is The Manhart MH5 900E Touring?
The G91 BMW M5 Touring is already one of the most outrageous things you can buy with rear doors and a boot. German tuning house Manhart got their hands on it, and the result is the Manhart MH5 900E Touring.
It uses the same plug-in hybrid base, same everyday usability, but is now dialed up to a level that might necessitate the creation of a new segment named ‘hyper wagon.’ This is a 900+ hp car that can still do the school run without breaking a sweat.
How Much Power Does The MH5 900E Touring Produce?
The headline number is 910hp and 1,200Nm. You’re looking at roughly 190hp over stock output, which already wasn’t exactly lacking. More importantly, this isn’t some short-burst overboost figure. It’s there, properly ready to rearrange your understanding of what a wagon should feel like under full throttle.
What Are The Upgrades Under The Hood?
It still uses the same 4.4-litre twin-turbo S68 V8 engine. Manhart has slapped on upgraded turbos and its MHtronik powerbox, unlocking serious gains from the combustion side of the hybrid system. The electric motor stays as is, which makes this even more impressive: the V8 is doing the heavy lifting here.
Then there’s the exhaust setup. Stainless steel, valve-controlled, and finished with four 115 mm matte black tips that look mean. Pair that with Manhart Race downpipes, and you get a thunderous soundtrack. In a hybrid.
Manhart hasn’t quoted official acceleration figures yet, but you don’t need a stopwatch to understand what’s going on here. A standard M5 Touring is already deep into supercar territory with a 3.6 second run to 100km/h. Add another 190hp, 200Nm, and sharper response, and you’re looking at something that’ll comfortably embarrass most things short of a hypercar, all while carrying four people and their luggage.

Manhart M5 Touring Chassis & Suspension Upgrades
Adding power is one thing, and precision control is another. Manhart gives buyers two options. H&R lowering springs for a simpler, more aggressive stance, or KW Variant 4 coilovers if you actually care about dialling things in properly. The KW setup brings adjustability across rebound and compression, plus external reservoirs for better consistency under hard driving.
Brakes remain stock here, which tells you how capable the factory setup already is. Still, if you plan on repeated high-speed runs, you’ll probably want to have that conversation with Manhart.
What Does The Manhart M5 Touring Look Like?
No wild body kits. No exaggerated aero. Manhart has kept things relatively clean, sticking to its signature gold decal package and branding. The reasoning is simple: the G91 M5 Touring already looks muscular enough. It doesn’t need fake aggression layered on top. And honestly, that restraint works. It looks like a fast wagon. Not a shouty one.
The real visual upgrade sits at the corners. You get Concave One wheels in a staggered setup: 21-inch front, 22-inch rear. Step up to the forged version, and it’s 22s all around with even wider tyres, up to 315-section at the rear.
Are There Any Changes Inside The Manhart M5 Touring?
Inside, it’s subtle. Manhart adds embroidered floor mats and an Alcantara headliner, but doesn’t mess with the core layout. It still feels like an M5. Just one that’s been given a slightly darker sense of humour.
