The 503-hp BMW M3 Touring is practical and swift:
That means power from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that makes 503 hp and 479 pound-feet of torque, with this delivered to the road through a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. The AWD system has an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch to apportion torque between its front and rear axles, plus an equally clever rear differential that allows full variation of the amount of effort sent to each rear wheel.
The new car is slightly heavier than the M4 coupe and M3 sedan, although BMW hasn’t confirmed by quite how much. But it will still be brutally quick: BMW is claiming a sprint to 62mph in just 3.6 seconds—just a tenth behind the company's claim for the sedan. Top speed will remain limited to 155 mph in standard form, although buyers who opt for the M Driver’s Package will see that increase to 174 mph.
Beyond the obvious bodywork changes, the M3 Touring sticks closely to the look of the sedan, but it also marks the debut in an M car of BMW’s new Operating System 8 system, and also a new 14.9-inch curved touchscreen display. As the pictures confirm, it extends from the edge of the merged digital instrument cluster to overlap the front passenger’s position.
