Enthusiasts have waited for a BMW M3 Touring for literally decades. Now it’s finally arrived, should you buy one?
fell short of its target of becoming a hardcore driver’s car when this car manages to have such breadth of ability, but still feels really special and properly focussed. I also feel slightly nervous to say it, but the best M3s or M4s of this generation are fitted with four-wheel drive. It’s such a great system and seems to come without penalty.
What about all that weight? Well, the Touring disguises it admirably. This is a highly adjustable car and in Comfort mode the body control can seem a little too relaxed at times, betraying the forces at work. However, Sport mode brings positivity to the damping and real depth to the car's composure even as you throw more and more in terms of acceleration, braking and lateral loads at the M3. Honestly, you need to look in your rear-view mirror to remember it’s an estate car at all.
The engine and ‘box are as-you-were, meaning abundant torque but still some fireworks at the top end and fast, positive shifts married to really tightly stacked ratios in the mid-range. The automatic isn’t quite dual-clutch fast and doesn’t have that sense that inertia doesn’t exist, but the short intermediary gears do create a real urgency and help convey the feeling that this is a properly on-it performance car that just happens to have five doors.
Overall the M3 Touring is deeply compelling and, controversial grille put to one side, deeply desirable. It’s a whole heap of money but I can’t think of anything else that marries practicality with scintillating dynamics so completely. It could be quieter and more refined. But that rather misses the point. The M3 Touring is, at its core, a BMW M3. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
