Pricing details are also awaited, but considering the Label Red’s price of around \u00a3171,000, it could become the manufacturer\u2019s most expensive production automobile yet."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"2024 BMW M5 Tourer","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/bmw-m5-tourer\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
