The first BMW M3 Touring xDrive is the charismatic individualist among the high-performance sports cars from BMW M GmbH. It gains a further plus in independence with the model-specific BMW M Performance Parts, which will be available immediately for its market launch from November 2022. The retrofit options from the Original BMW Accessories range offer ideal opportunities to make both the striking design and the impressive driving characteristics of the BMW M3 Touring even more dynamic.
Sharpened appearance with high-quality carbon exterior.
A wide range of high-quality M Performance exterior components, which were specially developed for the BMW M3 Touring, put the motorsport genes that are in it in the spotlight even more visually. All carbon components are made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), which is sealed with a clear coat and sharpens the sporty profile from all sides. The M Performance carbon front attachment and the M Performance Flics carbon ensure a look at the front that is clearly inspired by the DTM racing cars.
The M Performance Air Breather Carbon and the distinctive M exterior mirror caps, which are elaborately handcrafted from CFRP, provide highlights in the side view. The M Performance carbon rear winglets, the M Performance carbon rear diffuser and the M Performance roof edge spoiler perfectly showcase the striking rear of the vehicle.
Titanium exhaust system and model-specific chassis options.
The M Performance titanium exhaust system with four centered tailpipes underlines the extroverted, sporty appearance and inspires with uncompromising motorsport acoustics. The rear silencer and the sporty tailpipe trim module provide a striking emphasis on the characterful sound of the in-line six-cylinder engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology. They are made entirely of titanium. Thanks to the consistent lightweight construction, the silencer system is around 30 percent lighter than the standard component.
The impressive driving dynamics of the BMW M3 Touring can be further increased by the height-adjustable M Performance sports suspension. Lowering the coilover kit and the resulting lower center of gravity as well as the reduced rolling movements make higher cornering speeds possible. The M Performance sports brake pads at the front and rear also pack a powerful punch away from the race track. The M Performance forged wheels meet the highest quality requirements for an extremely sporty driving style. They blend in perfectly with the vehicle design and their sports tires offer optimum grip. Each forged wheel is machined from a single piece of aluminum and precision machined.
The rim base is rolled out using the flow-forming process. In addition to optimum longevity, the wheels impress with their extreme stability, absolute concentricity and a fascinating appearance. The M Performance forged wheels in Y-spoke design and in the color Jet Black matt are characterized by a particularly intensively racing-oriented characteristic. The 19-inch wheels at the front and 20-inches at the rear have a central lock. The range is completed by the M Performance forged wheels in cross-spoke design and in the dimensions 20 inches for the front axle and 21 inches for the rear axle. They are available in matt jet black or – even more individual – in frozen gold bronze.
Motorsport feeling in the interior.
High-quality carbon and Alcantara elements carry BMW M's motorsport DNA into the interior: the M Performance interior trim panels made of open-pore, matt-sealed carbon are combined with two large knee pads with an Alcantara surface, which offers optimized support during particularly dynamic cornering. The M Performance backrest shells give the driver's and co-pilot's seats a high-quality racing flair. The carbon headrest panels are finished with polyurethane paint and polished to a high gloss, while the rest of the rear panel is made of fine Alcantara with an integrated M Performance emblem made of aluminum.
The exclusive racing atmosphere in the cockpit is rounded off by the M Performance center armrest made of Alcantara, which sets striking accents with decorative stitching in the colors of BMW M GmbH and M Performance lettering. The new M Performance logos for the LED door projectors set clear signs of racing enthusiasm and a sense of tradition. To mark the 50th anniversary of BMW M GmbH, the "50 Years BMW M" anniversary motif is now also available.
