New BMW M3 Touring - it's a record-breaker!

.............................................................

Introducing the world’s first BMW M3 Touring!

That’s right, BMW’s legendary performance saloon is now available as an estate, and Mat’s about to run you through everything you need to know!

For starters, let’s discuss performance. And it’ll come as no surprise that the M3 Touring comes with the same power unit as the saloon! What that means is you’ll find the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, with the same power output of 510hp & 650Nm of torque.

In terms of the design, it’s all pretty similar up front, too, with the Touring looking identical to the saloon. Naturally, though, that big boot means it’s heavier than the saloon, weighing in at 1,865kg - an 85kg increase.

Trust us though, this estate is going to be pretty damn fast… BMW has confirmed that the M3 Touring has set a lap record around the Nurburgring for a production estate car!

It’ll cost from £80,550, which is £13,000 more than an RS4 Avant… But is it worth it? Stick with Mat to see for yourself!

So, is this new M3 Touring worth the £80, 550 price tag!?

[gregoryeke]

Matt didn't get kicked for mentioning the track this time around 😅🙂

[TFSIChristmas]

This looks better than a performance crossover no deny on that!

[needspeed]

Touring is always the way to go, looks so good and even the grill disappears.

The best part is that in Norway a lot of E46 wagons were built to M3's by owners, all legal.

Hey Mat you should do a drag race with Estate cars. Great Videos BTW.

[valanceo]

7:00 Yes! Especially when you're a 340i touring driver, and an M3 touring pulls up next to you at the stop light.

1800+ kg, 510 hp, M3 slowly started to become M5.

[possle]

Well I can see alot of people switching to this instead of the C63
Fast estates FTW

[mrkevin]

Im upset matt didnt get kicked in the back when he said the nurburgring, ogs will know what im talking about 😆

[adheipkarkal]

Why didn’t Matt get kicked for saying Nurburgring 😂

[The_journeyy]

When estates start to look beautiful 😍

[georgeholliday]

If bmw get this right which I hope they do then this has to be one of the cars of the decade! Can’t wait for the review on this 🚗💨

[worldpeace]

YESSS! Finally! Now we only need an M5 Touring and BMW really did an excellent job then

[michaeldalton]

Hey Matt, ever thought of doing a drag race in reverse? would be interesting to see what differences there are in reversing speeds of different types of car e.g. does a 911 reverse faster than a Urus, or even a standard saloon ICE or Electric?

First thing I thought was that if it doesn't come in the competition option then I don't want it. But it's ONLY offered in competition. Not only that but they're using the old emblem on it and I had one of those on my E90! I absolutely love the old emblem! I want one...I just need 90k lol

3:59 the reason for the Audi being down on power is because it came out when the f80 M3 was still around. And that M3 had 450 hp which is the same as the audi. I think the B10 version of the audi rs4 is gonna have at least 500 hp

[sagman]

Think id still go for the 340i for all round good performance vs price vs the family ratio.

[ZetaReticuli_]

Older BMWs had by far much better designs than the newer ones.

I love sport wagons, this is the best BMW in the last decade.
