The M3 we've waited almost 40 years for is finally here - was it worth the wait? Full UK review right here 👇
That subhead looks hyperbolic, only it’s not; the M3 really has been around for that long , and there really hasn’t been in all that time. Which is crazy when you think about it. Instinct suggests that the original was too pure, too focused on homologation and touring car domination, for a wagon to be spun from it - only for BMW to make an M3 Convertible in 1988 and tarnish that belief entirely. Anything was game, clearly.
Any concern that this generation lacks attitude or tension should be answered by the rear, which is easily the Touring’s best angle. The arches are downright rude, like the track of an M5 has been crammed in there and is fit to burst out, with the 20-inch wheels wedged in perfectly. The way the rear lights meet a crease in the bodywork only serves to make the M3 look even broader, and the quartet of exhausts appear bigger than ever.
Any passenger over six feet will be accommodated well enough behind a driver of the same height, with headroom to spare in a comfy pew and seemingly unimpacted by those arches. And while 500 litres isn’t the biggest boot ever, it’s a sensible shape and the seats fold forward at the touch of a button by the bootlid. A roof box could go on too, if needed, and the Isofix is dead easy to use as well.
Only when driving a bit quicker does the wagon perhaps feel that bit heavier, that fraction less willing. That the differences are subtle enough to want back-to-back driving suggests that they might be of little concern to a Touring customer, but there are moments when you suspect the M4 might not have left a body movement unchecked, or have turned in a millisecond more abruptly.
