  • I take a New G81 BMW M3 Touring from London to Switzerland. I really enjoyed driving The BMW M3 Competition i had last year and it was only right to do a roadtrip in the 2023 BMW M3 touring. The BMW M3 touring has 510 bhp, will do 62mph in 3.5 seconds and gives you all the practicality you will ever need. Does this make the BMW M3 Touring one of the best cars you can buy?

      Lots of defects if you look closer that just haven’t turned into potholes yet. Go through the towns and you’ll find some. The highways are often kept in tip top

    Been there 3 times with an E92, Audi TT and 330i Touring, you have to go there Mid-September then it's quite empty as the school vacation traffic and cyclists are less and Nufenenpass is also very nice to drive and the scenery is completely different as it's going into Ticino (Tessin) with much warmer climate.

    I took my RS4 here last year just a couple weeks before you, sunny all the way until we arrived at the start of Furka and a massive fog and rain rolled in. Had to drive the whole thing with about 30 meters visibility at a snails pace.
    Was nice to at least enjoy what could've have been! perfect weather!

    Love the roads around the Alps, so many good passes in that area (love the Susten). You do need to be mindful of the police though as speeding fines can be very big (although we've never had an issue on the mountain passes). Also note some of the passes can still be closed as late as the beginning of June.

    I currently have a Macan GTS 2022 and thinking about the m3 touring, is it worth the £20k cost to change I am not sure as I think prices will soften after the initial interest.

    • @rw1592
      @rw1592 Рік тому +1

      Used M3 Sedan /M4 prices have soften a lot and the same will happen with the Touring. A 1-2 year old M3 Touring with low mileage might be the way to go and since Macan GTS prices hold up well, the upgrade cost in one year or so might be quite a bit lower than 20k.

    • @ghowells5433
      @ghowells5433 Рік тому

      Thanks for the comment and think you are bang on noticing the M3 touring at dealers taking longer to sell and prices coming off, so will put off to next year and enjoy the Macan GTS a bit more

    Whatever it is, the car keeps upshifting because of this damn turbo. Brrrrrrrr,, brrrrrrrr, brrrrrrrrrrrr... the sound is really bad... now they just rev within a certain rev range and then shift up a gear... there should be an e92 m3 or e60 m5 on these roads. Then it would have been ceremonial.

    Sorry but your explanation about the M3 (Waaw, I’m impressed, what a car, …) at these speeds don’t impress at all. You could do this in a very cheap BMW, a 320D for example. These passes are not what the M3 is made for.

  • @ICEMANZIDANE
    @ICEMANZIDANE 9 місяців тому +1

    I dont really agree.
    The car is not only a bit too heavy (which you can even sense when seeing the car go through corners) it is also only available as a 4wd car. It needs to br RWD. Watch the video again and look at every scene where he is accelerating, there is no joy no entertainment cause the car is like on rails. Honestly a 150ps old 3series with manual gearbox and rwd would have been much more fun tbh
    And on top of that the gearbox is, lets say not the sharpest…
