Fans of fast cars in Europe have been tricked into the news that German carmaker BMW, despite everything, is making a circle of relatives in the edition of its iconic M3 sports sedan.
BMW’s M department, the last of the top 3 German brands to offer a fashionable car, showed a night photo containing a family 3 (“Touring,” as the Germans call them) with the M3’s 4 iconic exhaust pipes.
He insisted that he was beginning the progression on the road in a while before production began in 2022, this is a formality, given that the Series 3 sedan and the family circle car, on which the M3 is based, have the same wheelbase and suspension equipment.
This for the first time, BMW will have a direct rival to the Audi RS four Avant and the Mercedes-AMG C 63 family, giving BMW what it calls “an unmatched diversity of models” in the M3 range.
Perhaps by chance, former BMW M boss Franciscus van Meel, also former head of Audi’s quattro department (now Audi Sport) and made a lot of money for Audi with its RS Four and RS 6 fast cars.
The BMW M3 was born 34 years ago and eventually expanded to a variety of 3 cars, adding the sedan, coupe and convertible, until BMW placed the M4 badge on two-door cars, the newest change of the entire generation.
BMW’s M-department took shape in fast cars, despite its lack of long-roofed M3, with its larger M5 proposed with a car frame in its generation at the time (1992-1995) and from 2006 to 2010 with the fourth generation.
The next M3 sports sedan (and the M4 coupe) will be presented next month, with the force coming from the 3.0-liter twin-turbo twin-cylinder engine, called the S58, with a light 48-volt hybrid. electrical system.
Sources recommend that the engine will supply 473 hp of force and 443 lbs/ft of torque
Although it has not yet shown the front of the M3 or Touring sedan, they will stick to Series Four on the way to a massive polarizing vertical grille.
The M3 Touring, BMW said in a statement, will realize: “The hopes of all those who wish to take to the extreme the express M interaction of race-oriented functionality and aptitude.”
Although he had never built an M3 Touring production before, he finished a feasible M3 Touring with a third-generation M3 in 2000.

I’ve been testing cars and writing about the auto industry for over 25 years. My career began in the newspapers and evolved in the writing of two automotive magazines. I was founded in Italy as a freelancer for more than a decade, covering the European automotive sector, with a focus on product testing and product progression for readers around the world. I judge the smart and badness of cars in the way they carry out their intended purposes at their costs for their target consumers compared to all their competitors. I do not occupy short or long positions in the automotive industry, basically because this can only compromise the integrity of my work, so my written positions are a condensation of acquired knowledge combined with approximately 4 complete cycles of delight products in value.
