However, combine that high level of practicality with performance and you end up with the perfect solution for a one-car garage. Audi with its RS4 and RS6 Avant models and AMG with the C63 and E63 Estate have been serving this niche for a long time. What has BMW been doing all this time?<\/p>\n<p>Aside from offering M Performance versions of the 3 Series and 5 Series Touring models, it\u2019s been working on the first-ever M3 Touring. It\u2019s finally here <em>(well, not in the United States)<\/em> to fill the void left after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/07\/21\/bmw-m5-touring-e61-manual-conversion\/\">M5 Touring E61\u2019s<\/a> demise more than a decade ago. The problem is we\u2019re living in 2023 when luxury cars are ridiculously expensive. Consequently, you end up with a wagon that costs more than \u20ac172,000.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-442449\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-Touring-2-830x425.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 Touring 2 830x425\" width=\"830\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-Touring-2-830x425.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-Touring-2-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-Touring-2.jpg 1311w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 Touring 2 830x425\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-442449\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20425%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-Touring-2-830x425.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 Touring 2 830x425\" width=\"830\" height=\"425\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-Touring-2-830x425.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-Touring-2-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-Touring-2.jpg 1311w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 Touring 2 830x425\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A new video puts the spotlight on a high-end version of the M3 Touring. The all-wheel-drive super wagon flaunts a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/30\/2023-bmw-m3-touring-frozen-pure-grey-video\/\">Frozen Pure Grey metallic paint<\/a> from the Individual catalog that costs the equivalent of \u20ac4,400 in Switzerland where the video was shot. It also happens to have the M Carbon Exterior Package (\u20ac5,300) and the carbon ceramic brakes available for a steep \u20ac12,000.<\/p>\n<p>Add into the mix the laser headlights, Merino leather, and other trinkets and you end up with a 3 Series Touring that costs roughly as much as the defunct <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2017\/08\/29\/2017-bmw-m760i-xdrive-bmw-m7-name\/\">M760i<\/a> with its mighty V12 engine. That\u2019s not to say the Audi RS4 Avant or Mercedes-AMG C63 Estate are bargains compared to the M3 Touring. Much like its two main rivals, the long-roof M3 comes only with an automatic transmission and AWD.<\/p>\n<p>BMW has recently hinted it might revive the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/10\/20\/bmw-m-boss-admits-m5-touring-under-consideration\/\">M5 Touring for a third generation<\/a> to follow the super-rare E34 and V10-powered E61. It goes without saying it\u2019ll cost even more, and we won\u2019t be too surprised if a fully loaded configuration will hit the \u20ac200,000 mark in some European markets.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gyU4dPyhEs4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crospotter13 \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New BMW M3 TOURING 2023 - FIRST LOOK, walkaround &amp; PRICE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gyU4dPyhEs4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wagons might not appeal to enthusiasts as much as a low-slung coupe or a hot hatchback.
