BMW: Power Touring M3 packs 510 hp 🎥
FASTER LASTER For the first time, BMW is offering the 3 Series Touring as an M3. Visual features include more pronounced wheel arches and ventilation gills. The powerplant is the familiar three-liter inline six with 510 hp.
Starting in September, BMW will offer its sixth-generation M3 for the first time as a Touring estate version at a price of around 127,400 Swiss francs.
The model is fitted with 19-inch wheels at the front and 20-inch wheels at the rear as standard. Inside, there are two large displays with M-specific content, and carbon bucket seats can be ordered as an option.
From 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds
The drive is provided by a three-liter in-line six-cylinder engine with 510 hp and 650 Newton meters of torque, which, in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission, accelerates the all-wheel-drive 1.9-ton truck from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and to a maximum speed of 280 km/h.
The all-wheel drive system is rear-heavy. In addition to the 4WD mode as standard, the driver can alternatively choose between 4WD Sport or 2WD. In conjunction with deactivated ESP, the latter setting is intended to maximize the drifting capabilities of the station wagon with its 1510-liter luggage compartment.
Nordschleife record at the Nürburgring
Even before its official debut, the BMW M3 Touring made headlines a few days ago when it set a record on the Nürburgring's Nordschleife. It completed its lap in 7 minutes and 35.060 seconds. This was about 10 seconds faster than the previous record holder, the Mercedes-AMG E63 S. When it was driven, the BMW M3 Touring still had a camouflage cover.
