BMW increases production of the M3 Touring

A year ago, BMW introduced the M3 Touring as a response to rival models from Audi and Mercedes. The car exceeded all expectations when it came to demand, so BMW decided to increase production.

“If you want one, order it now. Demand is huge, it even surprised us. I think it’s a fantastic car and a great addition to the M family. Due to demand, we’ve increased production,” said Van Meel, head of BMW M division.

BMW M3 Touring is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine with 510 hp (375 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque, in its most powerful version. It comes only in the Competition version with xDrive and 8-speed automatic transmission, and it can reach 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 174 mph (280 km / h), with the M Driver option. Optionally, the driver can also choose the option of rear-wheel drive.

Inside, the car is equipped with a large display with a 12.3-inch instrument panel and a 14.9-inch multimedia system. Also, the volume of the trunk is from 500 to 1,500 liters, which is more than enough for families.

The M3 Touring is an outstanding car that showed its capabilities on one of the most famous racetracks in the world, the Nürburgring Nordschleife, when it set the fastest lap time in the station wagon category, showing the competition that it will be a serious competitor.

BMW M3 Touring with 730 HP

There are many tuners who want to show and prove that they are good at their job, but there are few who can say that they are the best, and one of them is the German company G-Power. The tuner is known for upgrading BMW cars, and this time it’s the BMW M3 Touring.

First of all, G-Power equipped the BMW M3 Touring with three tuning packages, and with the most powerful of them it brings a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 730 hp (537 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of maximum torque. The increase in power also meant an increase in top speed, which is now more than 320 km/h (199 mph). As a reminder, the standard M3 Touring has 510 hp (375 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque, and top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).

In slightly weaker options, G-Power offers 630 hp (463 kW) and 680 hp (500 kW), which could definitely satisfy those with a little less adrenaline.

The car is a little closer to the ground, and is equipped with several carbon body components, as well as 20 and 21-inch reinforced Hurricane RS aluminum rims, behind which are located better brakes and adaptive suspension.

Inside, the car is equipped with a large display with a 12.3-inch instrument panel and a 14.9-inch multimedia system. Also, the volume of the trunk is from 500 to 1,500 liters, which is more than enough for families.
