So we all wanted an #M3Touring ever since they made that E46 concept car. And on the 50th anniversary of #BMWM they fulfilled our desires: but should we actually have asked for it? This appears on paper, a car compromised — with a whopping 85kg extra weight due to because of going touring, no carbon roof, Slower to 60… and a face many still aren’t happy with. But in my expedience, what’s on paper doesn’t mean sh*t in reality. #BMW M have allegedly pulled a rabbit out the hat with this one and we’re gonna find out together on a first drive today - where I’ll compare it to the other M3 and M4 variants, the CSL, And most crucially - the new C63 hybrid. Let’s see if the M3 touring is worth the hype! This car has come in a generation where, not everyone is happy with the M3. Particularly its face - but reviewers like myself, love it for its dynamic and emotional prowess. The M3 Touring comes in Competition XDrive only, meaning AWD and paired to the 8 Speed torque convertor box. And the most powerful normal M3 too (more on CS later) with the S58 engine making 510 BHP and 650NMs. The Xdrive is the clever one from M5, so switchable drift mode. More crucially, means car feels more RWD most of the time. So a heart basis, but the touring body however, adds complications. the body in white NEEDS extra bracing for the rear structure and it also needs a unique rear axle subframe. All of this to make the car as close to the Sedan as possible. The glass and rear structure adds additional weight - thus adding 85KG to the car, and slowing the 0-60 to 3.7 seconds… So it makes the car less dynamic, and not as fast…. Or does it?! We will see. The design is epic: Just the doors shared with a standard 3 series. Your eyes drawn instead to the massive front arches, and all new rear end! Giving this car bulk that the C63 doesn’t have. Speaking of C63S E Performance, what does this drive like compare to that wagon? I’ll try and fill you in! We will also talk about the Future - will they make an M3 CS Touring? They better! And is this the only M Perf wagon? Rumour has it, the M5 hybrid might also gain a touring version! Up next on on RBR is a new World Premiere with Mercedes Benz, and then the BMW XM Drive!
