So nice to see an estate car rather than the vast array of SUV’s that manufactures keep throwing at us. All they need to do now is make a 3 pedal manual version 👍
Imo there are too many estates to choose from
There's the beamer, the merc cls type, merc e type, audi a6 type, the Volkswagen golf estate, the Volvo cross country and the Mercedes off road lifted type
Then there's the fast and expensive taycan and panamera types
Still all of them are better than those drony loser crossover types eugh!
Skoda also has an estate i believe and i guess the Koreans and the Japanese have some models too
And now the best estate makers i.e. the Americans have ceased all estate models, a crying shame at that
@@haberdasherrykr8886 most of which we don't get in the US 🙈
@@jsquared1013 you guys really shot yourselves in the foot chasing suvs that you don't off-road or the pickups you don't utilise to tow or haul with
Your bankers are cunning a holes
Speaking strictly as someone from the U.S., an estate is still a very rare sight. So much more stylish when one turns up on the roads here in the sea of generic shapeless SUVs and Crossovers. They certainly stand out. 😉
I would take the touring version over the saloon. So classy, so fast, unbeatable real world package.
here here 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
and practical
To be honest, I was expecting it to still have the grille, but the rest of the new M3 Touring looks great 😉👌
Honestly I think the XL grill looks not quite as ridiculous on the estate
@@TheFlyingPineapple It actually looks better with a front (euro) plate too.
This grill is better than audis fake exhaust pipes 😂
The grill is still a major problem so far as I'm concerned. I'm sticking with the old style until they come to their senses.
The overall proportions look much better on the tour than either the coupe or saloon. Grilles are still ugly, but it has a great rear end. The junction between the rear door and rear arches looks like an afterthought. I’m not sold on the new screen either especially after BMW we’re the last hold out for HVAC buttons.
I think BMW have finally found a format that the massive grill actually suits - a wagon!
Great video - really like the idea of this car - there seems to be a resurgence of “super-tourers” recently - also Lol at the kid waving at the camera at 2:53 😂
Fantastic as always Henry, I have been way more excited about the M3 Touring than the M4 CSL. I am going to go with a Porsche colour, something bright to complement the Speed Yellow of my 993.
If it were my money and it had to be a BMW 3 series I'd buy the B3 Touring Alpina, 500hp, £80k and no growler face.
Always go purple on the M3! Looks so good.
Alpina B3 Touring though. No silly front grill and perfection everywhere else. Why would you buy an M3 when you have that choice
Because car ownership is about individual choices. Not everyone has the same taste.
I'd tend to agree. Alpina seems to be rather consistently under appreciated. Can they still be ordered straight from some BMW dealerships ?
@@TeslasSecret I think so, BMW just recently bought Alpina
@@Alby911 Thanks. That's cool. They've been on my "lottery bucket-list" for quite a long while now. Great to hear that they're now fully cared for financially, as long as BMW doesn't turn them into some sort of trim level à la Maybach.
Because it's not a M car lmao. They're totally different underneath
purple looks really damn good
Looks amazing if you ask me and that grill has already grown on
me and a lot quicker than I thought it would
The cameraman has cheekily avoided the still hideous looking nose for most of the video 🤣🤣🤣
It *is* the elephant in the room, and he always had to go get batteries 😀
Just sat in one of these at the FoS and the seats were really difficult to get in and out of, rock solid side bolsters and very firm, hardly any padding. If the car rides firm you will feel every bump
That’s right, I intentionally didn’t go for the carbon seats. Guys who are too tall really struggle to get in, more importantly girls with heels will hate you as well.
It's an M3, what did you expect?
@@shogun2215 exactly, it's an M3, not a 918.
at the start of watching the livestream on FOS 2022, i was thinking if Henry would be there, or drive, ofc he can make the M3 touring appealing.... BMW shoud've done the E46 M3 Touring as wel!
Sytner had a great looking Alpina 3 series estate on their stand at Goodwood FoS, would make a great video to compare the M3 Touring with a B3 Touring. That purple does look good though soft spot for an Alpina wagon in green
Great vid thx But where is the new lotus video ? 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
That purple is immaculate
Oxford Green Metallic. I love it.
Front end no no, otherwise looking good...👌🏼
Not in the US… :(
I'd have mine in green but it would be an Alpina B3 Touring.
Good choice. Have mine since a year as a replacement for the F82 and it’s the best car I’ve ever had by far. M3 touring is too aggressive here and there and still everyone looks at you.
Another great Carfection video.
Glad I can't afford it, that way I don't have to be pissed at the (imho) awful dash and grille.
Alpina B3 touring for me please (Hmmm dreaming)
Is that Brooklyn grey?
Urban green, on blue would be my choice. Especially if you can do a fully blue interior with hints of black and carbon.
Considering changing my F Pace SVR for one. would probably go with the Thunderpants.
Just some references if you dont know what does 735 in nurburgring means:
733 Porsche 911 GT3 RS(997.2)
735.9 BMW M5C (F90)
738 Lexus LFA
Are those like lap times ( pardon my ignorance)
Waiting for it since the E36, but it is much to heavy!
Love it!
I love the grill
100% green on that black/brown interior. But I’m in the states so it’s just a dream lol
Love those grills
Manual option?
Looks a very nice prospect, however that screen looks stuck on like an afterthought, surely they could have integrated better like Mercedes etc.
The way oversized front grills are still there but way more acceptable blacked out
I might have accidentally bought a fully spec'd Green one! and it has shiny gold callipers!
Is that a carbon fiber cod piece they've put in the front seats? Quick release ejector seat handle? An air bag for your scrotum? A handily placed fast phone charging port? Don't tell me there's a camera in there as well..
looks sooooooooooooooo good
Without taking into account the disgusting front end (Other than the headlights) this is AMAZING ❤️❤️🔥
As an owner of the current M3 I have to agree with you, that face has a look only a mother could love. The beauty of it though, is sitting inside you never have to see it🤣🤣🤣
Car looks stunning. Wish we got it in my country!
Looking forward to the First Drive Henry, and I'd Spec mine in "Isle of Man Green" over "Tortufo" in a Manual of course
No manual for the wagon.
@@boy638 Says who?...where do you get your news?
@@mithritades The M3 wagon is only available in the Competition AWD variant which is auto-only. You don't have to take my word for it. Just look it up yourself.
@@mithritades It’s true. Even for left hand drive markets. I know because I put a deposit on an M3 wagon last year in Germany. I’d rather sit on the left of the car than drive an automatic M. Cancelled when the news came through that there would be no RWD or manual. Bollocks. BMW did exactly the same to me with the E46 CSL.
How can they possibly get any 3-series to weigh 1800kg, let alone a ‘competition’ version!
That, the £80k starting price and that buck-toothed front grille aside, it’s great to see an M-car in Touring guise again.
Why have it as a "competition" if its the heaviest and only in all wheel drive...why not just an estate in rear drive as an option? Not that it matters to me in the states anyway but just odd...
**Cries in North American**
Nice motor but 1800kgs for an M car?
Purple!
Yeah, I'll take that purple one thanks, red interior, carbon pack. 👍🏻
Dark purple for the win 🏆
Definitely green 🍀
Acid green please!!!
Grey for sure with black optics and carbon additions
Here's my idea for BMW:
- build a 2WD 6 speed manual touring with a manual LSD
- 2 litre 4 cylinder turbo from the Z4 with 300 bhp
- shed 500 kg (1800 kg for an estate is very heavy...)
- fit normal instrumentation (have a look at the back catalogue) and delete the micro-wave, the cup holders etc
- fit narrower tyres to increase the fun.
- call it a "2022Ti".
Manual is must here to get unicorn status. I’ve got two M3s and if they give this manual, I’m a buyer!
All the car you could ever need.
purrrple 💜
IMO, not worth the extra money. The 340i touring is as much power you'd ever need outside of a racetrack. If you're gonna go racing, then knock yourself out, the touring will be able to carry another set of tires in the back.
Love it, and I actually like the grills on these now. Much better in person than photos or videos. I'd spec one in Verde Ermes!
Face like crimewatch, body like baywatch
Is there anyone who likes this widescreen glued on top of the dashboard?
As much as I like a very fast practical estate car, the RS4 for size and an RS6 for sheer brute is still the winner in my book. Just cannot spend £90k with a grill like that.
Purple please…sounds crazy but my current Touring has the red interior…it gets more comments than anything else…so red interior. I wish.
BMW has become the Gucci of the automotive industry more a fashion statement than anything else.
Very fair analogy
For people with too much money and bad taste.
They still drive decently well
Not going to complain about big screens but that dash is hideous
So... last m3 touring and no manual again? I like the purple and green colors but why no manual? Resale value plummets with that trans though - the only relevant metric for people like me. I would rather have an e60 with an auto trans and do a swap for much much less money.
If your thinking of resell value you shouldn't be buying a BMW..
@@EthanEJC Oh you misunderstand. I would never buy new. I was just confused who this is for. I will happily continue on buying their flawed but fun products second hand and modifying them. No reason whatsoever to buy new... they don't offer a manual apparently.
I'll take a purple M3 competition touring xdrive please
Would still have an Alpina B3 touring, it doesn’t have the grill.
Great car by Bmw, its almost perfect (not so sure about those screens)
It's still a shame the wagon doesn't have a manual version :'(
Should have done this ages ago.
but no tow bar option!!! :(
I love a sporty wagon but I just can't take that grill seriously so could never put one in my garage. Oh how I wish they made and E39 M5 touring...
Add to shopping cart.
The grilles are the best bit. When it first came out I wasn't so sure......with the passage of time I now think it looks muscular & suits the stance of the M car.
I hate the look of wagons. The front doesn't bother me, but the rear does.
I'd buy this but i'd have to crash the front bumper into a wall.
There's already some aftermarket bumbers that change that awful beaver teeth front end into something more eye-friendly.
Don't you crash all your cars
@@richardmesser1091 As a professional er, stunt driver?
purple for me please 😊
Hate the new screen instead of a binnacle. Sad that it’s 4wheel drive and auto only and am also sad that it can’t take a tow hook. No carbon roof either. The car I expected from M, but not the one I hoped for. A cool enough novelty but…bit of a fail IMO.
Green with gold wheels
God I wish I had the money to afford one of these.
Dogs in the boot will never be happier! Assuming they keep their dinners down...
I would spend the money on converting an e46 touring to M3 spec instead.
Asesores color on the purple one
Awesome*
Would like to see this against the rs6
Yes because thats a sensible comparison….
I always liked the look of the new front of the m bmws ,didn’t know why there was all this negativity and it seems like it’s just getting better with time too.
1:51 someone got a Snapchat notification👻
One of the big problems with all this screen-mania by the manufacturers is clearly on display here, from multiple camera angles: the GLARE. That, plus having to take your eyes off the road to change things in the HVAC or seat heaters, etc, because there is no tactical feedback with a screen 🤢
Can’t believe the front looks better than the rear…they had “one “ job..
Looks like the grown-up version of The Boot.
How can hate a fast estate even with that questionable grill
Me no hate
I know everybody knows including them by now, but that front grill is a big facepalm.
I hear you can't have a tow bar on it. Seems a bit of an odd choice given I would have thought weekend racers would be a target demographic for it to tow their Radical or whatever
You for real?
Overall I think its a great looking car... However, I still cannot overlook them kidney grills :( .
M3 touring with xdrive, damn. Also, this new S58 engine is so potent, a simple remap with stock components untouched can boost its power to 600bhp! That's pure insanity. I'm sure that remap alone with its rear biased awd grip can probably make up for its 1800kg weight.
All Dad's rejoice
M340i makes more sense as an estate car and would be better to drive in the real world.
I prefer the old interior
Henry it's more than £80,000. No wonder BMW are hardly selling M-cars above the M2 at the moment.
£80,000... before options....
I would have one. If, i could drive everywhere in reverse to hide the pig of a front end.
Normally when sporty cars increase in price it's because they use lighter better components. 1800kgs lol
Nice car but at goodwood it's in the shadows
I like that grill, reminds me of a famous dictator from 30s and 40s
