- BMW has finally done it… It’s released a BMW M3 Touring!
If you’re like us, you’ve been longing for BMW to release an estate version of the oh-so-popular M3, and the time has finally come! But does it live up to expectations? Let’s find out.
In terms of the design, it looks pretty much identical to the saloon version, apart from the extended boot. But of course, that’s no bad thing! It means you get the same quad exhausts, aggressive front & rear bumpers, and the huge kidney grille design as we’ve known to expect from all new Bimmers.
It’s a similar story on the inside, with the layout in the front and rear seats matching the saloon M3. Just like the saloon, the Touring is also treated to BMW’s new big infotainment and digital dial screen… And it looks incredible!
Under the bonnet, you’ll also find the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as the saloon. This produces 510hp and 650Nm of torque, and unlike the saloon, the touring is only available with xDrive.
But of course, it’s not cheap, with the price starting from around £85,000. So what do you think - is this the best BMW M of all time?! Or would you stick with a saloon? Let us know in the COMMENTS!

I think the grille looks more balanced cause of the touring chassis, love it
Agreed
this grille really grew on me
@@giftmorzel6318 I wasn't sure at first but yeah it's definitely grown on me. Looks mean as f
It definitely looks better in the touring...
nope its one ugly car
This thing is so good that i decided to forget the front grille entirely. In fact it looks badass on a sports wagon.
Agree 100% I think the big grill suits it
@@andrewgalloway647 this BMW SALOON look fragile imo.
@@purwantiallan5089 looks stronger and better than any audi or merc tho.
@@purwantiallan5089 bmw peak german brand (basically the most experienced being a German company & best of worldwide quality & tested) and 'fragile' could never go together, it just looks bizzare to use that word lol
@@theweeknd2725 German cars are less reliable than French one. Plus big garage bills . enjoy ☺️☺️
I've owned my M340i touring for around 6 months now and I'd have to say it's 90% of what this M3 is but sacrifices a small amount of performance for economy. I was hitting 45Mpg yesterday, in a car that does 0-60 in under 4 seconds, insane!
I have the M440i and it’s huge fun and plenty for what you can do legally on the public road… but as he said I’m always lusting for that M4 and wish I had that extra cash to get it but hey let’s enjoy what we have
Useful for getting to the front of the queue at the Mcdonalds drive-in . You won't be getting 45 mpg driving at 0-60 in 4 seconds Pal !!.
I had the M340i, its just an amazing car, obvs I would like the above, but I dont have 85K LOL.
I’m renting an M340i Touring this week, what a car, crazy fast for public roads, super comfortable, well balanced, could never have an Audi ou Merc. But would maybe consider the M340d for the extra range at a 0,1s sacrifice in the 0-60. And an actual sports car for the weekend, would be the perfect combo.
I dont thi k a 340i is even an “M” no way near 90% of an M car. Its got a B58
That satin matte finish on the paint is so good at showing off all those cuts and curves. So freaking nice!
I haven't even finished watching the video, and I'm sure Mat will go for "just go ahead and buy it".
Edit: Interesting choice of frames Mat!
Wilbeugre, i belive the front of this car is like downgraded Audi A4 DTM.
Step 1 in becoming David Koresh....
We all know Matt is the ultimate BMW fan boy anything BMW makes u know he's picking it 😭😂🤦
Instead of isofix anchor points, he'll soon be reviewing the popdown sunglass holders
Haha, you were right!
I owned a 335d Touring (2014) and that was the best car I've ever had. 4.2 seconds to 60 40+mpg, load carrying, quick, etc. 4WD, you name it. God, I miss that car!! 🙂
Why did it go?
@@kwl189 was on a lease, should've kept it
I used to have one as well and DMS remapped it 820nm/400 hp and it was a weapon! Poor ride on runflats and had a few electrical issues with it but very good car! 👍🙂
Blah blah blah blah blah blah.... Why did you sell it, you cry baby??? Shut up, dude!
My dream car. My 09 335D ruined me for every other car. Since a distracted driver crashed into me and wrote it off I've never had the same passion for cars.
I was waiting for you Mat so review this Car since last year, I'm really glad you sure did, I LOVE the M3 touring more than anything🙌
What you're explaining at about 5:30 minutes into the video, it's the M factor. It is the soul that gives BMW's M cars the little edge! I've actually come to like this new design of the kidney grill, it looks rather cool now :)
I wish the grill was something that appealed to me because a new manual trans m3 is otherwise soooo attractive. I have a 2002 330cic that might be upgraded. But it has to look great (to me).
M-POWER ALL DAY EVERY DAY 👌🏼👍🏽
This is one of the nicest Touring cars I’ve ever seen. Everything is so proportional. Everything fits so well. It looks so toight, almost as if it was born to be this.
@@tobiasbelz8036that grill is the sole reason why I started liking bmw a lot more, recently
@@tobiasbelz8036 go buy a fcking audi then
"So proportional" really?
@Nick Gurr better than audi and merc
@@EhM-xt7pl Very 🔥
nice car etc but i think i've done 110mph in a dodgem down that runway. Happy days
Perhaps time for a dodgem estate project?
flooring it W
When’s a new vid coming Colin?
colin mate make one of your uber-steel chassis dirt racing one seated mini car with some random engine
In a dodgem? Damn.
Honestly just fell in love with the car! I believe this will be a modern classic soon
A friend of mine works for BMW and he took me for a ride 2 weeks before it got unveiled at Goodwood and I think the way this thing handles is absolutely stunning. I thinks it drives way better than a RS4 for example.
Edit after watching the whole video: I totally agree with Matt 😅
except it cost shitload more than rs4
C8 Corvette money... nope.
Haven't wanted a car as much as this one for ages... 😍😍

If I had the money (and I really don't) I'd get the Alpina. More exclusive, more subtle and I could still walk up to the front of it and not feel ashamed!
$199k it may cost.
U don't even have the money for this ,let alone that
@@Cxs1a3 Yes he did literally did say ''If I had the money'' :/
Good call .... I'd join you on that choice.
@@Cxs1a3 bro what's wrong u?
Mat thank you so much for this insane video!
I love it, it actually looks very stealthy for what it is. If you are not into cars, it looks just like a regular albeit modern estate.
It's a great and way overdue move by BMW to finally release M3 Touring!
Though I'd still rather sacrifice track capabilities in favor of that extra bit of additional comfort Alpina B3 Touring offers.
BMW ALPINA still better than this new BMW Saloon obviously.
RIP alpina
The other advantage of the Alpina is that it's not saddled with that gopping snout fitted to the M cars.
@@adrianchell ...yet!
I'd rather have it even sportier. With a manual and more direct and heavy steering. But the M3 needs to be sportier than the Alpina.
I've never seen Matt so happy driving an M. And its still lighter than a C63e saloon, bigups to BMW.
Matt is a BMW FANBOY.M-POWER ALL DAY EVERY DAY 😂😂😂#ME2 👌🏼👍🏽
Not as light as my Trevor and not as fast 😜🤠
It’s his bank account
I miss the simple days of my silver-grey Renault 18 estate - of which strangely I am reminded of (I think we got it for around 1000 pounds at the time - in the early 90s).. that car did everything I needed as a student (apart from acceleration) - with enough room to sleep in the back with the seats folded, many trips between the UK and France, 1000s of miles camping trips across Europe - a truly practical GT of its time.
Wonderful car, so glad estates are making a return - finally, useful cars are back.
I''m sick of the SUV box fad. Got an estate . Bought it because the Reviewer who was Irish said you could get 10 dead bodies in the back !!. (ex IRA perhaps ?) It's a Skoda Superb Exec estate and at a push you can get 11 in the back 😆😆.
The netting thing that Mat took out the boot of the car can be fitted to the back of the rear seat when you have the folded down, so you can put a protective net between the cargo and the back of the carbon seats. Pretty standard feature on the Touring.
I own a BMW x3 330i and I use Blinkers perfectly (right to turn left and left to turn right)
As expected! Great review as usual. My dream car is here!
Addup🎁
Excellent review Mat!😸
I love this car! Having driven the G80 M3 sedan I loved it soo much more over the F80s. This along with a 992 GT3 would be my ultimate two car garage
Wish BMW M3 CSL done this already.
Wait. Do you own an F80? Or just road in one and now have an opinion. A F80 base with a $500 tune destroys the top of the line G80. That is a shame. For me F80 all day over the g80 by looks alone
@@joshuajackson9966 driven a few F80 M3/M4s when I was working at dealerships. I did a photoshoot with a G80 one time and owner gave me the keys and I instantly preferred it, feels smoother and refined. don't care about tunes lol
also I can see all your comments on M3 videos about it being ugly lol
@@joshuajackson9966 you sound mad that you can’t afford a g80
@@joshuajackson9966 Dont know. I owned a F80 Comp for several years but it never grew on me properly. Not even close to the E92 M3 I had before it. Faster on a track than the E92? Yes but not nearly as much fun.
£103k 😳 absolutely bonkers!
bargain for a car that can beat most supercars but still carry your shopping and kids
@@rg6982 hear what your saying about it’s versatility, but saying any car over the £100k mark is a bargain is a bit of a stretch to be fair, especially an estate car. that is unless it’s a true supercar manufacturer. That’s coming from a BMW fanboy as well 😉 still believe this is well overpriced and targeting those that have to have it crowd. It will loose minimum 20% after 12 months.
@@CraigK80 it has 455bhp in fact.
Next generation of M cars will be PHEV or Full EV, if I recall correct, so it might even hold or appreciate in value
@@purwantiallan5089 I am pretty sure 510 bhp not 455 he said it in the video
You can tell Matt is a BMW fan boy, never even tried testing centre console if it moves! 😀 great video 🙂
Can you give more details on brake distance? What does it compare to the RS6 other similar cars? Love the fact, but don’t remember any other ones!
Both are good...it all boils down to ones taste and preference .Just try both of them and conclude by depending on what works for you.
Great video
Looks amazing and as for it not having a dual clutch gearbox that’s because they’re not as reliable and long lasting as the old school/ new school torque vectoring boxes
Yes!!! Been waiting for this review for MONTHS!! Thank you 🙏
its “Perfect” but still has 5 annoying things? Doesn’t make sense lol
Got 3 years left with my m340i this has got to be its replacement want one sooooo bad🤤
Currently driving a 2002 325 xi wagon, think its such a cool carr, hopefully can get one of these M3 wagons one day!
I love how Mat just compares these awesome cars with some of the strangest things ever!
👍👍👍
I would rather stay with my 2 year old 340i. Bought it last month and loving it!
Those flared wheel arches!! Yes please
This is the ideal wagon for the states. 4 wheel drive check, nice breaks check, solid engine power check, roomie interior check. Between this and the RS4 and the RS6, it's nice to see that German Automakers haven't forgotten how to make a sporting yet somewhat family ride more sport. The suv or the crossover seems like it would be more of the wonky everyday driver. BMW and Audi keeping sporting fun alive with their makes.
That’s the shortest braking distance I remember at CarWow 2:32
I'd love to see this comparison video review of this with the Alpina B3 Estate. Make it happen Carwow!!
They look so good from behind! Performance is mental as well. Not sold on the new ipad style display though...
This would look epic with thr Vorsteiner grille. Or even better, the ADRO grille
We need a drag race with this and the RS6 guys
Damn that sounds good. Love the looks and XDrive. Im all for it!
XDrive better tho.
That grill looks so good on a wagon!
Great video as usual! But... is the load cover hides underneath the false floor? 🤔
Sat in one of these at Festival of Speed and can confirm they are some of the comfiest seats I’ve ever sat in
Wish this X7 and this new car also in GFOS.
They are unless you're a larger frame, having spent most of my life playing leg-growing sports, the centre carbon cutout really restricts thigh space, otherwise they're exceptional
Haha I walked right past it at FOS, thought it was meh.. price confirms that. Better cars to look at when at FOS.
Literally the perfect car.. The only gripe I have is that digital dash. I could live with it though. But if only it had a normal dash...
It maybe cost $200k or 107k pounds.
Perfect apart from it looks like any other BMW and has a crap, fake sounding engine. Nothing special about it all.
RS6 Over this every day of the week
@@TeaVR the engine sounds fantastic. On this video it was recorded from the outside so how do get fake of it? 😂😂
@@markcampbell2491 RS6 fun factor is 2, if you have rating of 1 to 10. The heavy front makes it difficult to turn into corners. I haven't driven the last gen but if its anything like the earlier RS4 or RS6, its ultimate boredom. Great for gliding on the Autobahn but on some curvy mountain roads the M-cars are far superior.
That thing looks insanely good.
Wow! This really looks good.
10:12 Below the load cover that is! But let's not forget you can take that out and then you have a much taller space to work with plus you can fold the seats to down for even more space. Man I love station wagons...
8/10.
It does come rear wheel drive it has and option on the computer too change too rear wheel drive and you can change the traction control in the rear for optimum drifts
A 2 door m3 touring would look absolutely mental especially considering how good the back looks
“Once you drop your family off at the tip…”
I’d be interested if they change the front end. Other than that I love it.
i actually like it now
@@oh0stv You...
Mark my words, people hate it now but will love it in few years. Same as the e60, e65.
Completely agree, cannot stand this generations pig nose grille, looks horrendous.
@@davidschober49 its been a few years already and people still dont like it
This thing is beautiful! 🤩
This is literally the perfect car. Sporty, fantastic and practical.
Grill doesn’t look too bad on the M3, it’s a great looking car. 3.3 seconds to 60 is insane for a touring. This will sell easily to those who wanted a M3 touring for years which I bet is many enthusiasts.

wow that sounds great
For me launching the cars is the most exciting part of the video i dont like it that you do them in the beginning, but great video!
Would love to see this one compete with an Alpine B3 touring.
Alpina is a different car totally. Much more refined but fun factor not even close to M-cars.
I will own one of these, my ultimate dream family car! M3 has always been a dream car and now in the estate it brings family practically into my corner for thr war with the wife 😂
I always loved the BMW Touring over sedans and coupes looks just sensational, look at this astonishing, practical beauty MAN! Gonna own a Touring one day. For sure!
13:30 It's Wartburg sound. (2 stroke 3 cylinders) :)
Be nice to see you compare the M340i estate and the M3 Touring? And is the M3 really worth the extra £?
Worth 99k extra pounds.
For most people, any 3 version is good enough
Well people that buy an M car because it’s a family car, probably need a brain implant. 🤷♂️
Yes it is!
Nope.
And there is even some designated space for the dividers in the back if you don't need them 🫣👍So you always have them available if needed or you always know where to put them without them flying around in the back while driving.
Such a legend of a car!
8/10 imo.

Would be nice with an old style grille
yes hate the new grille looks hideous
11:36 , I love this guy! 😂❤
Mat looking baller in the aviators🙇
although it is exciting to see the m3 touring, the alpina b3 touring has been around for a long time. ich wanna argue that the alpina,, with just a bit less power but much more torque and without the controversial m3 nostrils might actually be a better choice. it would defenitely be a very interesting comparison! and it has a lower sticker price with more features coming as standard! to me it seems the only win for the m3 touring is the wider m3 body. as alpina can only use the normal 3 series body. althogh i can't speak for the actual driving characteristics.
It depends what you want. I have driven several Alpinas but they never were especially fun to drive. Great cars for Autobahns, silent with great quality. But nothing for me, I would get bored really quickly.
I still can't get over the grille. Even if I've gotten over the initial shock of it. The previous one is just better.
hey Mat it's Justin here...can you review the Suzuki CIAZ alpha model if its available in the UK......i have been following ur channel and love the way u review the cars....i wanted to know ur view on Suzuki CIAZ alpha model...... hope you will see this....keep making interesting content 👍🏻

An interesting alternative for sure but not all of us have the resources to take advantage, or pay more for our air travel..Great video as usual.
BMW never disappoints.
Agree. Except the front grille.
Still dont like the massive front grille, but it still looks really good, especially the back ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wagons/estate cars generally look super nice imo.
Agree. The front grille appears to be like downgraded Audi A4.
It really is a lovely car and looks even just as great. 👍
That bit about the gynaecologist reminded me of your comments on the m850i that had the red interior.

Yikes, that front grille is an eyesore!!
It's so much cooler than whatever SUV your neighbors drive 😎
Looks incredible, way better than the M3 classic ! Only thing I really hate is the board with only the screen
Magnificent. Nothing more to write.
I much prefer Audi RS6
So sad that here in America there is so limited options in station wagons and those which are available are just a bit jacked up u know like a crossover. I freakin love wagons
German cars use to come with Continental tires, this Bimmer has Michelin (wich is very good, got them on my Alfa)
