Promising sports station wagon BMW M3 Touring left for road tests. A camouflaged test prototype was captured on video, so we can appreciate its design. Recall that this will be the first M3 with a cargo-passenger body for all 34 years of production of a sports model.
A video of the M3 Touring leaving BMW M headquarters has been posted on the division's official Instagram page. Despite the camouflage with an intricate wave-like pattern, you can see that the radiator grille on the car is made in the style of this on the new 4-Series coupes and convertibles. Also, the prototype has large sills and large-diameter alloy wheels, but the head optics are no different from the 3-Series. At the rear, a pronounced diffuser catches the eye, as well as twin exhaust pipes. Under the hood of the BMW M3 Touring there will be an in-line 3.0-liter biturbo “six” S58 with a capacity of 473 hp. in the basic version and 503 hp. - in the Competition modification. It will work with an 8-speed "automatic" ZF.
Recall that the M3 has never before been offered in a passenger-and-freight version, now the potential demand for such a car is estimated to be high, which is why BMW announced its release. The BMW M3 Touring will compete with the Audi RS4 Avant.
