The latest BMW M3 Touring is a game-changer, blending track-honed performance with everyday practicality in a package that enthusiasts have long been waiting for. As the first-ever M3 Touring, it builds on the success of the G80 M3 sedan but adds the versatility of a wagon without sacrificing any of its aggressive character. The wide stance, bold body lines, and signature M touches – including the iconic quad exhausts and a menacing front grille – give the Touring a muscular yet refined presence. With its elongated rear and roof rails, it doesn’t just look the part of a high-performance sports car, but it’s ready for real-world utility as well.
Step inside, and the M3 Touring feels every bit as luxurious as it does sporty. Carbon-fiber trim, leather upholstery, and M-specific design cues surround you, with the standout being the M Sport bucket seats that offer superb support for spirited driving. The interior tech matches the high standards set by BMW, featuring the latest iDrive 8 system with a curved digital display and a suite of driver assistance features that keep you connected and in control. Despite its sporty focus, this M3 offers more cargo space than its sedan counterpart, making it as practical for weekend trips as it is for hitting the track.
Under the hood, the M3 Touring delivers blistering performance thanks to its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine. In the Competition variant, this powerplant churns out a formidable 503 horsepower, pushing the wagon from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the Touring is not only quick but offers excellent traction in all conditions. For those seeking a more traditional M driving experience, a rear-wheel-drive mode is available for tail-happy thrills.
Where the M3 Touring really stands out is in its practicality. With around 500 liters of cargo space – more with the rear seats folded – it brings serious utility to the performance segment. This isn’t just a car for enthusiasts; it’s one for anyone who refuses to compromise between track-ready speed and everyday functionality. The M3 Touring redefines what a high-performance car can be, making it one of the most exciting and versatile models in BMW’s lineup.
