YES! Another confirmation of what BMW NA said a few months ago, similar to what is in this article.

Great news. Would be even better if they also brought the M5 version.

Officially, there won't be an F11 M5 at all.

Correct they might wait until the next model to bring back the 5 series Touring. Let's keep fingers crossed regardless!!!

+1 for the diesel! I rented a 730d in Germany ~10 years ago, and that was just a terrific car.
