Here’s the rear of the production BMW M3 Touring

Is there anyone left on the Internet who doesn’t know that BMW is readying a factory M3 Touring?

We first had official confirmation of the project back in August 2020. Then, over a year later, BMW released pictures of a heavily camouflaged prototype. Now though, we’ve finally had a flash of the production car’s rear end. The important bit, in other words. 

This car has been a long time coming of course, with BMW first proposing a proper M3 estate with the E46 M3 Touring prototype way back in 2000. We’ll forgive the long drawn out launch of this one, then. 

The big-booted M3 was teased on BMW’s YouTube channel, with head of prototype construction Hans Rahn talking through the E46 prototype, before M development boss Dirk Hacker joins to talk through the new G80. Have a watch by clicking these blue words. 

Looks like the Touring will be properly wide, with the M3’s classic quad exhaust layout and a 3D printed roof spoiler also making an appearance. What do we think, folks?
