BMW M3 Touring review: what the car critics say

A sensational all-rounder, the car is ‘eye-wateringly, cheek-puffingly good to drive fast’

After a wait of “decades”, the M3 Touring is finally here – an all-weather, all-powerful family estate car “that just happens to go like a Porsche 911”, said Evo. Available only in xDrive Competition guise, it is all-wheel drive with 503bhp and an automatic gearbox, and a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six petrol engine. Despite being 1,865kg, it’s remarkably agile. It can do 0-62mph in 3.6s and has a top speed of 174mph.
