    P1P2

     

    Both the B5 Touring and M5 Touring are quite special choices - they combine the performance of a sportscar with the classic family chassis - the Touring. The author is impressed by the fuel consumption of the B5 versus the M5 and provides some clues why this is. Overall, the B5 is declared the winner - however it is concluded that if a choice had to be made then the B5 Touring is the perfect daily driver, whereas the M5 Touring is the fun-machine for Sunday morning enjoyment.
