There’s no shortage of teasers for the M3 Touring (G81) as a new video has now been released by BMW M. It explains the interesting story of how the first prototype came to be. Two donor cars were used to build what will become Bavaria’s belated answer to the Audi RS4 Avant and Mercedes-AMG C63 Estate. It all started with a decommissioned M3 Sedan (G80) test vehicle that had to be stripped down to the bare metal.
After that, BMW M got a hold of a 3 Series Touring (G21) and then the puzzle began to take shape. The next step was to pair the axles of the M3 with the regular estate, which also inherited the mighty inline-six engine from the performance sedan. It sounds fairly simple, but that wasn't the case since the M3 Sedan has wider tracks than the regular wagon.
