Should the Audi RS6 be scared?

Family errands during the week, track time over the weekend.

As car enthusiasts have waited for a long time BMW M has delivered.

Do you love the thrill of driving and want a car that combines high-performance with practicality? Look no further than the BMW M3 Touring, the latest addition to the BMW M3 and M4 model family. For the first time, BMW M GmbH has added a high-performance body variant to the lineup, and it's a game-changer!

The BMW M3 Touring delivers on the traditional M promise of dynamic flair, agility, and precision combined with unrestricted everyday practicality and mile-covering ability. With its powerful M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine, intelligent all-wheel drive M xDrive system, and M specific suspension, this Touring is a genuine BMW M3 with pure racing DNA.

Let's talk about what makes the BMW M3 Touring so special. Its exterior design reflects the motorsport-inspired character of the M3/M4 line-up in its own individual style, and the interior highlights include the new BMW iDrive vehicle experience, including a touch-capable 14.9" BMW Curved Display based on BMW Operating System 8. The M Carbon steering wheel provides a racing feel, and the optional carbon-fibre trim strips in the spokes surround the operating elements and complement the high-quality feel of the steering wheel.

Now, let's talk about performance. The M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine features superior power delivery and the striking characteristic M engine sound. Two mono-scroll turbochargers, direct High-Precision Injection, fully variable valve control, and variable camshaft control ensure outstanding performance. The engine’s signature M performance profile, combined with the enhanced traction offered by M xDrive, translates into stunning acceleration times. The BMW M3 Touring takes just 3.6 seconds to power from 0 to 100 km/h and 12.9 seconds to reach 200 km/h from rest.

But what about driving dynamics? The Adaptive M suspension comes as a standard and makes it possible to adjust the damper characteristics to suit any given driving situation, increasing driving dynamics and comfort. In addition to the standard COMFORT setting for increased driving comfort, the SPORT program offers more direct damper settings, and SPORT+ for use on the racetrack. The 8-speed M Steptronic sport transmission with Drivelogic offers numerous shifting options: extremely dynamic, particularly comfortable and smooth as well as fuel-saving. You can shift manually using the gear lever or the gearshift paddles on the steering wheel, or select one of three automatic programmes using Drivelogic.

And let's not forget about safety! The BMW M3 Touring features an integrated braking system with precise pedal feel and M specific configurability. The new system combines brake activation, brake booster and braking control functions within a compact module. It also presents the driver with two pedal feel settings – COMFORT and SPORT modes alter the amount of pressure on the brake pedal required to slow the car. The M Mode button on the centre console allows drivers to dial up the purity of the performance experience in the BMW M3 Touring as and when desired. When they switch from the default ROAD setting to SPORT mode, interventions from the driver assistance systems are suspended, with the exception of inputs from the Collision Warning with brake function and the Evasion Assistant. The TRACK mode designed purely for driving on race circuits fully deactivates the assistance systems.

Overall, the BMW M3 Touring is a car that delivers on all fronts - performance, practicality, and driving dynamics. It's the perfect car for anyone who loves driving and wants a car that can keep up with their lifestyle. So, what are you waiting for?
