BMW M has confirmed the debut of its 2023 M3 Touring<\/a> at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed running in the U.K. from June 23-26.<\/p>\n

BMW M, which recently turned 50, is this year’s featured marque for the festival, and we knew it had a new model planned. It also has a redesigned M2 coming soon<\/a>, though that model is now expected to debut at another event.<\/p>\n

Prototypes for the M3 Touring have been testing in the wild for more than a year. The high-performance wagon is based on the updated 2023 BMW 3-Series range<\/a>, which means it will have the latest dashboard design with floating screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment hub, and sadly BMW M has already confirmed that it won’t be sold in the U.S. It makes sense as the U.S. already misses out on the regular BMW 3-Series wagon.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, potential buyers can expect the M3 Touring to feature the same specs as the M3 sedan<\/a>, meaning power will come from a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-6. The engine delivers 473 hp in the standard M3 and 503 hp in M3 Competition guise.<\/p>\n

The standard M3 also comes exclusively with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, while the M3 Competition comes exclusively with an 8-speed automatic and the choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. It’s unclear what the plan is for the M3 Touring, although it would be pretty sad if the manual wasn’t offered.<\/p>\n

This is actually the first time that BMW M is bringing out an M3 wagon. BMW’s official tuner and motorsports division came close to launching an M3 Touring two decades ago as part of the third-generation M3 range, but the project never got past the prototype stage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Goodwood festival attendees will get to see the new M3 Touring run up the Goodwood hillclimb. The recently revealed 2023 M4 CSL<\/a> will also take on the challenge. BMW M will also have on display an assortment of race cars including the original 3.0 CSL, M1 Procar, V12 LMR Le Mans winner, and the new Hybrid V8 LMDh<\/a>.<\/p>\n
