M3 Touring

[Ben]

They really need to start thinking about putting wider rear doors on these M3s. The rear arch meeting the rear door is horrendous.

Thats what I think too, but you should see how the M3 owners cream themselves on some of the groups over what they call the 'aggressiveness' of that sudden slope.

Agreed, but also no point them spending money when they don't need to.

Folk will still queue up to buy them no matter what. Human psychology is fascinating.

I was looking at it this morning, asides from the grill (which - admittedly - is starting to grow on me) I think it looks good. There's not really anything unexpected is there? It's basically the touring body .... which we've already seen with the likes of the 340i, etc - with the additional M3 width and bumpers and so on.

Still can't get past the beaver look of the front grille. Then there's the interior. Anyone for a Deadpool themed interior?

 

[mark19]

Bar the front grills. I love it

 

[Dan.86]

I like it. I’m sorry

 

[Q.S Gav]

Stunning. Including the front grill.

 

[andy9eleven]

It's fast. But I doubt it's got much soul.

 

[svensktoppen]

I like it. I’m sorry

Lol, it would be a very boring place if we all thought the same all the time

 

[KyleR]

Why do manufacturer scrimp on the rear callipers on cars like this? Would it really hurt them to fit a fixed 2 or 4 pot calliper on the rear to match the front?

 

[svensktoppen]

I'm sure they'll fit one for you if you pay them for it.

Vast majority of road cars do nearly all the breaking up front, bar possibly a few trackday specials. Partly for safety, partly because most the weight is up front under braking.

EV even more so with regen doing most of the rear braking. They're almost all just using drum brakes at the back, glorified parking brake basically.

 

[richie_mck]

Tow strap, canards and sunstrip off and a change of wheel colour and I’d happily own that

No doubt many seen this a few days ago, but Bavarian delivering their first G81 M3. I think it looks amazing

 

[NickR]

I really like the new M3, the M4 not so much. Would love a M3 Touring in the future but will most likely remain out of reach

 

[svensktoppen]

Sorry, no... not even a mother can like that

M3 estate - absolutely, oh yes. That one? Erm...

 

[Boydie]

An E92 estate would have been mega

Love that. Mate has a Davit Grey one due any day now, which I think will be mega. Although that silver is really nice.

 

[davyk31]

They look pretty good to me. Looking forward to seeing some in the flesh.

 

[RevT]

I think the touring is lovely, except for the exhausts.

Phantom M3: The Best BMW They Never Built - Speedhunters

You don’t need to look far these days to see the extremes people are willing to go to in their personal pursuit of #JoyOfMachine. We’re rather partial to crazy creations that push the boundaries of power and challenge the laws of physics of course, but in the same breath, show us a build that’s...

I would agree that the exhaust set up does look a little odd

 

[aaflyer79]

Looks like part of the rear diffuser is missing; I’m 99% on board and I think maybe it’s the camera angle, but it makes the quad exhausts look overly long and exposed. Then again, look at the “cow udder” on my M2…

The only way I could live with that front end would be with an autoid front bumper but there's no way in hell I could justify spending 3700 on a front bumper to make a car that cost that amount look half acceptable

 

[DC.]

BMW M should have been making these all along.

In no way a fan of this current model but some of previous cars would have made great estates.

Audi and Mercedes have shown there is a strong market for fast estates.

The standard front looks better to me so it would be a mega waste of cash to buy that after market option.
