It’s no secret now that the G81 M3 Touring is being readied in the wings, due to be unveiled imminently. While the Bavarian brand has done M5 wagons before – E34 and E61 – this is the first time that a 3 Series Touring will have been treated to a proper beating with the ‘M’ stick.
As a bit of a sneaky teaser, BMW has posted a teaser image of the upcoming M3 Touring doing some slidey stuff in a snowy location.
While the new M3/M4 models have been met with much controversy for many reasons, it would seem as though the general consensus among motoring scribes around the world is that BMW has traded raw engagement and excitement for a slightly better balanced product, adding a smattering of comfort, as well as all-wheel drive, and ditching the dual-clutch transmission for a traditional torque converter setup.
What is undeniable, though, is that there are few things cooler than a performance station wagon, and the M3 Touring looks set to kick up a storm when it arrives on the scene later in 2022.
