Re: M3 Touring
So, manky front end and a crap engine. Why have they suddenly decided there's a market for one after all the years of insisting there wasn't (despite the popularity of hot Merc and Audi wagons?)
Re: M3 Touring
Yeah cause you're going to throw a dirty bike into the back of your 70k + M3 Touring..

Re: M3 Touring
Won’t be long before it’s a £7k car with those looks, then you can throw shit in it to take to the tip.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: M3 Touring
Yes, my Merc estate is solely for dirty bikes and absolutely nothing else that would necessitate a boot of that size/shape..

Re: M3 Touring
If you just buy a boot liner which goes up the side you can virtually shovel garden waste directly into the back.
For many it will be a fashion statement but a lot of people like the M3 and just need the practicality.

Re: M3 Touring
What Dave! said..
Had a look around a couple of Alpina B3 Tourings yesterday. I like the new satin wheels but the engine and looks are very understated, it’s not at all muscular. Cabin is nice and it’s an unusual car but I think it’s not for me. I’d love to try the i4 M50 if they did it in a Touring body but they don’t.
Also, having owned lots of black BMWs (6!), I’ve found a new favourite colour Tanzanite II ! It’s available on the M3 so I’m really tempted..
I want a Touring body, elec car ideally…… Is the Taycan CT the only one in the market??

Re: M3 Touring
What is the 3 series estate like for space these days? Every time I looked at them before, I thought I'd need a 5 for it to be of any proper use - i.e. bikes and decent size boxes without being a faff.IanF wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 2:58 pm What Dave! said..

500L vs 570L - Think they measure to the parcel shelf though.Ascender wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 3:11 pmWhat is the 3 series estate like for space these days?

Tbh, it’s for my two dogs rather than ikea runs and I’ve had a 3 series estate before and they fit in that one, so should be fine.
You will always fill the space you have though!

Re: M3 Touring
Crap initial screenshot but it’s actually the Touring going around the ‘Ring

Re: M3 Touring
Yeah, they've done a series on YouTube of how it came about, with the last couple being the building of the first proper prototypes and then their 'Ring attempt with one of them which I think the aim was to get the fastest lap time for production estate car.
Cheers,

Costs and options seem to have been put up by some broker.
I'm off for a lie down and hope Mrs Mike never finds this link.

Re: M3 Touring
That’s a real shame as the back end and rear 3/4 look amazing but the front doesn’t look special at all.

Re: M3 Touring
My M340i Touring was £43k ish new in 2020 and i get that its over £50k now but £85k for this seems
Re: M3 Touring
It seems like they’re raising the price of this by a few grand each day
It was £80,550 when the embargo was first lifted, then it was corrected to £83,740 at the Goodwood launch, and now £85-88k starting price is being thrown about.
