BMW M3 Touring F81 - Selfmade unique of a Britten

BMW has been building the legendary M1986 since 3. With each generation came highlights like that Four-valve technology with petrol injection and individual throttle valves in the E30, Double-VANOS in E36 or for the first and last time V8 with the model generation E90. But there is one thing in which the Munich-based company remains absolutely stubborn, there has never been an official M3 Touring and that will probably not happen in the future either. Although it was unofficially flirted with it, especially with the E46 generation, and even built a prototype ready for series production, it did not make it into production either. And it looks no different with the 6 series F80.

So what if the M GmbH simply refuses? Then you build your own BMW M3 Touring F81 yourself! That was probably the thought of the Englishman Nick P. He has realized the dream of touring M3 and spared neither cost nor effort. His Instagram channel 63np shows the many pictures of the vehicle and soon the detailed conversion. And of course we can't go unmentioned on tuningblog. The result would probably not look any different from the factory and we are convinced across the board. The basis for the conversion was a 3 Series Touring F31 (320d) and this was equipped down to the last detail with all the necessary parts of the sedan of the F80.

You can see this immediately from the striking front apron without fog lights, the typical bonnet with power dome, an adapted M rear apron with 4-pipe sports exhaust system, the M3 exterior mirrors. There were even the clearly displayed wheel arches and they certainly did a lot of work, especially on the rear axle. The wheel arches are of course filled with original M Star Spoke 666 alloy wheels in 20 inches, which also allow a view of the M-Performance brake system with its yellow brake calipers. The look is rounded off with many components from the M-Performance shelf.

There are the air intakes in the bumper, the front splitter, the black kidneys and gills, the diffuser and even the tailpipes of the aforementioned sports exhaust system. The highlight is clearly under the hood. The S55 biturbo in-line six-cylinder was installed here, rendering the original four-cylinder diesel unemployed. And the interior is also overflowing with original M3 parts. Starting with the red leather seats through to carbon applications, everything comes from the M3 and rounds off this unique and certainly very cost-intensive project. If we get more details about the conversion, there is of course an update for this story. You will be informed about the update when you get our Feed subscribe to. Have fun watching the pictures and stay true to us!

These are the changes to the F31 Touring:

  • Base 3er Touring F31 (320d)
  • Parts of the sedan F80 (front bumper, bonnet, rear bumper, outside mirrors, flared wheel arches)
  • 4 pipe sports exhaust system
  • M star spoke 666 alloy wheels in 20 inch
  • M-Performance brake system with yellow brake calipers
  • M-Performance air intakes in the bumper, front splitter, kidneys and gills, diffuser, tailpipes of 4 pipe sports exhaust system
  • Interior with original M3 parts like seats etc.
  • S55 Biturbo inline six-cylinder installed (possibly with performance enhancements such as chip tuning, tuning box, turbo conversion)
