2022 BMW M3 Touring will hit the market soon

It took a long time for BMW to make a decision on the M3 Touring. After more than three decades, BMW’s response to concepts that competitors have been offering for years is in the final stages of testing.

The first BMW M3 Touring with the slogan “Same power in a new form” will be powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine with 480 hp (353 kW), in the standard version. The more powerful model will have more horsepower, more precisely 510 hp (375 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque.The M3 and Coupé M4 use the same engine.

Although there is no confirmation yet, rumors say the new station wagon will only be offered in combination with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic gearbox. If we consider the power of the engine, it is certain that the performance will be higher than expected.

The BMW M3 Touring is not the first caravan to come out of the M department. So far, it has been offered in the Series 5 (E34 and E61), while the attempt based on the Series 3 (E46) in the end remained only a prototype.

The latest information says that the M3 Touring should hit the market at the end of this or the beginning of next year.
