The BMW M3 Touring masterfully blends strength, speed, and luxury, making it hard to resist its allure. This super wagon offers an impressive combination of spaciousness, functionality, and luxury. If the distinctive kidney grille appeals to you and its premium price is within reach, the G81 stands out as the ultimate all-rounder. So far, every model has been visually stunning, with the M3’s extended roofline being the pinnacle of design excellence.
The Dravit Grey M3 wagon boasts eye-catching black 826 M staggered wheels. They are 19 inches in front and 20 inches in the back. The daytime running lights (DRLs) feature a unique yellow tint, echoing race cars and recent M models such as the M4 CSL and M3 CS. This includes the exclusive 3.0 CSL. Anticipating the 2025 release of the M3 CS Touring, BMW may introduce factory-installed yellow DRLs on the M3 Touring.
The G81 model’s interior radiates elegance with Merino leather in Tartufo finish, elegantly covering the dashboard’s lower half. It exceeds standard specs with an enhanced exhaust system and an aftermarket mid-pipe, increasing the sound by several decibels. This enhancement significantly improves the engine’s sound quality, delivering a deeper soundtrack at startup, even with the flaps closed.
BMW’s M Performance upgrade offers a more robust and aggressive exhaust sound than the standard model. This modification extensively utilizes titanium to shave off approximately 7 kg (15 lbs) from the usual setup. This enhances performance through weight reduction. The design features uniquely arranged quad tips stacked vertically and closely positioned at the centre of the diffuser, creating a distinctive and eye-catching look.
The M3 Touring, a wagon version of the G80, supports many aftermarket parts for its rival, the Audi RS4 Avant. BMW is refining the G81, with a potential Life Cycle Impulse (LCI) arriving this year. Starting in 2025, the hardcore CS version, as mentioned earlier, may be based on the LCI model and could be available for one or two years.
