BMW M3 TOURING

The 2026 BMW M3 Touring is a five-door, five-seat high-performance estate based on the G81 chassis and built in Munich, Germany. For the United Kingdom, it is offered in two orderable configurations: Competition M xDrive and Competition M xDrive Ultimate Pack. Both use the same 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged S58 inline-six petrol engine, eight-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission and M xDrive all-wheel drive, producing 530 hp and 650 Nm. The limited-run M3 CS Touring is a separate sold-out halo model and is not included as an orderable variant here.
