One such cabin update will be the latest iDrive 8 system from the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/24\/bmw-i4-m50-sport-boost-function\/\"> BMW i4<\/a>, which can be seen in these new spy photos. (We don\u2019t own the photos but they can be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2022\/01\/take-a-closer-look-at-the-bmw-m3-touring-and-its-i4-inspired-cabin\/\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>A nosey photographer snapped some spy photos of the upcoming BMW M3 Touring doing some camouflaged testing in pubic and was able to get close enough to get some shots of the cabin. Like most test mules, the interior of this M3 Touring was covered in some fabric camouflage, to hide its new dashboard updates. However, the fabric clearly shows off the shape of the M3 Touring\u2019s new iDrive\/instrument panel and it\u2019s the same large curved display that the i4 uses.<\/p>\n<p>This should come as no surprise, though. The i4 and M3 essentially have the same dash layout and, because BMW needs to slowly update all of its cars to the latest iDrive system, it only makes sense for the BMW M3 Touring to get the i4\u2019s new curved screen. Though, it\u2019s nice to get a visual confirmation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_411313\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-411313\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-411313\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2022 bmw m3 touring rendering 00 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2022 bmw m3 touring rendering 00 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-411313\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2022 bmw m3 touring rendering 00 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2022_bmw_m3_touring_rendering_00.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2022 bmw m3 touring rendering 00 830x553\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-411313\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Render by Motor.es<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It will be interesting to see the new screen in the M3, though, as it\u2019s not a particularly sporty looking setup. Its curved, upright display looks techy, premium, and modern but it\u2019s not exactly sporty. BMW might add some snazzy new M Division graphics to the display, to make it feel a bit more special than the all-electric i4, but it\u2019s going to be the same screen for the most part.<\/p>\n<p>Though, to be fair, the BMW M3 Touring will be the first-ever M3 wagon to be sold to the public, after literal decades of fan-begging, so I don\u2019t think customers are going to care about the iDrive screen too much.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2022\/01\/take-a-closer-look-at-the-bmw-m3-touring-and-its-i4-inspired-cabin\/\">Car Scoops<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the BMW M3 Touring launches, it will come as part of the G80 M3\u2019s LCI facelift, which means it will have slightly updated looks, as well as some updates to its cabin, along with the rest of its M3 and M5 buddies.
