The M3 Touring, one of the most anticipated new BMWs ever, has finally arrived. We’ve seen a lot of different setups, but this one stands out as one of the best. The fast waggon flaunts a showy coat of Riviera Blue paint from the Individual catalogue and a bevvy of M Performance Parts, from bumper to bumper.
Canards don’t belong on a street-legal vehicle, but they don’t look too horrible on the G81. Not your average M3 Touring, as seen by the quad exhaust tips located centrally at the rear. It rides on the 1000M gold bronze wheels, embellished with 50 years of M anniversary symbols.
This long-roof M3 must have most options checked off, from carbon fibre trim to an M Performance-branded centre armrest. With a starting price of €97,800 in Germany (before options), it’s clear that this project will cost many hundred thousand dollars. To refresh your memory, BMW is only offering it as a Competition model and only in the automatic transmission and xDrive configuration.
Recent sales figures reveal that 70% of all 3 Series sales are waggons, suggesting that the M3 Touring will be especially popular in Germany. No matter how ordinary or extravagant the estate is, it is often handled in Europe. However, industry insiders estimate that production will begin in November 2024, so it’s reasonable to assume that BMW will bring back the M5 Touring and sell it in the United States starting in 2025 or 2026. Meanwhile, the M Touring (or any Touring, for that matter) is a car that most Americans can only dream about owning. It’s been a long time coming, but a more practical M3 is now here, but a new, full-fat M estate won’t be available to everyone for quite some time.
