It’s been 34 years, to be exact, since BMW offered an M3<\/a> Touring. The last car to have that specification was in the E30 M3 family, which started in 1986.<\/p>\n

Now, according to EVO Magazine<\/a>, it has been “leaked” that there will, in fact, be a new M3 Touring for the G20 generation.<\/p>\n

There have been touring variants of the M5 in the past, in both the E34<\/a> and E60\/E61<\/a> generations, from 1992 and 2007 respectively. There was also an E46 M3 Touring Concept car made, that sadly never made it into production.<\/p>\n

However, this latest Touring, or Wagon as it is known in the USA, is directly aimed at the incoming Audi RS6 Avant<\/a> and the Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In terms of engines, the M3 Touring will share the same engines as the rest of the G20 family, with two different power outputs available. The S58 twin-turbo inline-six will produce either 473 BHP in “regular” cars, and 503 BHP in Competition spec cars, respectively.<\/p>\n

As well, the “normal” spec cars will have the option of a 6-speed manual<\/a> or 8-speed automatic, while the Competition spec will only come with the 8-speed torque-converter automatic.<\/p>\n

Both engine specs share the same 442 lbs-ft crank torque figure.<\/p>\n

As we mentioned in a past article, it seems that a wagon war is coming<\/a>, and honestly, we couldn’t be more excited! The G20 M3 Touring is expected to land on US shores in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
