 BMW M3 Touring Imaginatively Rendered with Supercharged V8 Engine
BMW M3 Touring Artists Rendering / jonsibal.com

BMW currently has no plans of building an M3 wagon or Touring as the brand calls it. But that didn't stop an artist from creating an impression of one. Some of the features of this M3 Touring rendering include a paint job called Pepper White with Satin, an Argray Titanium exhaust, an AC Schnitzer front lip and roof wing and Black Series BBS RE Magnesium wheels with a Brembo 8-piston caliper brake system. Wrapped around its wheels are Yokohama ADVAN Sport Tyres.

Figuratively speaking, under the hood lies an engine force-fed by a custom Vortech supercharger. The standard M3 has a 4.0-litre V8 engine that produces 309 kW (420hp) and peak torque of 400Nm (295 lb-ft) at 3900rpm. Its maximum engine speed is 8400rpm. Although no power figures were speculated, it's safe to say that this rendered M3 Touring's engine, if real, would improve performance nicely.

The M3's main rivals are the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and the discontinued Audi RS4, both of which have/had wagon/estate versions in real life.

lol as cool as i think this looks, i don't think that BMW should try take on the sports estate market. Audi would conclusively destroy them at that

I don't understand the purpose of these wagons. imho, they dont look as great as the sedans or coupes, so why would one want to buy a wagon version?

it looks good - not as good as the coupe, but still very nice. and i don't think the rs4 avant would destroy this (even w/o the supercharger) - like bavarianMS said, the M5 touring is a superb sports estate

Did the RS6 Avant destroy the M5 touring? The answer is 'NO'. The verdict of several tests conducted between the two cars always found the V10 Turbo charged RS6 avant way short on the N/A M5 Touringexcept on straight line acceleration (negligible difference though). The M5 was way superior in overall performance - M5 is a legend and Bench mark. Remember Jeremy Clarksons words on the M5 bad Sat Nav, Jerky gears in slow traffic but once you press that accelerator and push the car " Oooohhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"
