For many BMW enthusiasts, the M3 Touring<\/a> is the ultimate dream car. Not only is it the first of its kind but it\u2019s also probably the best everyday daily driver BMW currently makes. It\u2019s the sort of car every BMW fan would kill to own. So it makes sense that it would win Autocar\u2019s<\/em><\/a> 2023 \u201cBest Dream Car\u201d award.<\/p>\n

As part of Autocar\u2019s<\/em> awards for 2023, Best Dream Car is for the car that most enthusiasts dream of owning. That\u2019s a straightforward enough concept. However, you\u2019d imagine that the best dream car would be something like a proper sports car or supercar, something with two doors, dramatic styling, mind-bending performance, and an exotic noise. Instead, Autocar<\/em> chose a five-door, all-wheel-drive wagon.<\/p>\n

The BMW M3 Touring is much more than just a five-door wagon, though. It actually has some of those aforementioned characteristics. For starters, it\u2019s supercar fast, thanks to its 503 horsepower twin-turbo I6 and all-wheel drive. The M3 Touring rockets to 60 mph in under four seconds, which absurdly fast for a wagon that crests 4,000 lbs. It also handles remarkably well, though, with the capability of a much lighter, more focused ports car. BMW did an excellent job creating the G80 M3\u2019s<\/a> chassis, steering, and suspension and those same traits make their way to the M3 Touring as well, just with its added practicality.<\/p>\n

For decades, BMW fans have been begging the brand for an M3 Touring, believing that such a car would be the best all-around daily driver. Now that it\u2019s here, their suspicious have been mostly confirmed. Out of the box, it\u2019s genuinely hard to find a better daily driver. There are few reasonably practical cars on sale that are faster, better to drive, and as well-equipped and high-tech inside. There\u2019s nothing it does poorly.<\/p>\n

Is it perfect? Of course not, nothing is perfect. Its face is still just not good looking. Some fans claim it\u2019s grown on them and that\u2019s great. But you don\u2019t marry someone because their looks grow on you. It\u2019s also a bit on the firm side for a daily driver and could use a set of better coilovers. Aside from those two things, though, there\u2019s nothing to nit-pick, it\u2019s a sensational car. And what makes it so good is that there\u2019s never a time you can\u2019t use it. It\u2019s great on track, taking the kids to school, and even handling some light snow. There may not be a daily driver with fewer compromises than the M3 Touring and that\u2019s why it\u2019s Autocar\u2019s 2023 Dream Car.<\/p>\n
