The first ever BMW M3 Touring has made its Australian debut ahead of its official local release in early 2023, when it will become the German car-maker’s first direct rival for mid-size luxury performance wagons like the Audi RS 4 and Mercedes-AMG C 63 Estate.
Available in a single Competition xDrive auto spec and powered by the same ballistic 375kW/650Nm 3.0-litre straight-six turbo engine as the BMW M3 and M4, the M3 Touring won’t offer much change from $175,000.
Join Nadine Armstrong for our first up-close preview of what’s shaping as the least compromised family-friendly M-car in recent years.
