BMW's first M3 wagon is finally here.
BMW's M3 has finally spawned the M3 Touring that wagon lovers have been waiting decades for.
It was revealed on Tuesday ahead of a formal debut at this week's 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K., and sadly the speedy longroof isn't headed to the U.S. It makes sense as the U.S. already misses out on the regular BMW 3-Series wagon., meaning power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6. The M3 Touring has been announced exclusively in M3 Competition guise, and with an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.
The M3 Competition spec brings 503 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. This is enough for 0-62 mph acceleration in 3.6 seconds, 0-124 mph in 12.9 seconds, and a governed top speed of 155 mph . The M3 Touring will alsoImpressively, the M3 Touring isn't just a 3-Series wagon with the M3 sedan's mechanicals swapped in. To fit the M3's specific rear axle, the 3-Series wagon's body needed to be made 3.3 inches longer and 3.0 inches wider.
Another impressive feature is the all-wheel-drive system. It has a sport mode that adds even more rear bias, and for track use, there's the ability to switch off the dynamic stability control which results in drive going to the rear wheels only. Forged 19-inch and 20-inch wheels are standard and can be specified with track tires as an option. Carbon-ceramic brake rotors are also on the options list.
