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.

As BMW had previously announced, its V12 engines have come to an end. The story begins back in 1986, when they were first presented in a 5.0-liter edition in Series 7 (E32). That is why BMW will, in their honor, produce 12 special models of the BMW 7 Series M760i xDrive in the middle of the year, which will be powered by V12 engines for the last time.

The cars will have a V12 label on the boot lid and a plate with “THE FINAL V12” inscription on the sills and engine. They will be powered by a 6.6-liter V12 biturbo engine with 601 hp (447 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. That’s enough for a luxury BMW to reach 62 mph in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h).

They will be equipped with special 20-inch wheels. It will have the inscription “1 OF 12” on the center console. Customers will be able to choose from 80 special body colors.

The cars will be delivered to customers in the United States in early July, at a price of about $ 200,000.
