It is the umpteenth time that there are rumors feedback about a M3 Touring, but we’re going to explain to you why this time it sometimes might be true.

Rumors and dreams about BMW M3 Tourings existed for a long time, longer than the internet. In fact, there is been so long talked about that it’s a wonder that it is not in the original version of the Old Testament is included. But more than ever seems to be a BMW M3 Touring probably.

The news about the M3 Touring this time of Avto Magazin, the Slovenian sister of the Autobild. The Slovenians throw a render of the M3 Touring on the cover of their magazine and can report that the M3 Touring in september to admire will be on the trading floor of Frankfurt. We can then on all sides with this story.

We can wriggle out of them: there has never been an official M3 Touring would have been really in production is gone and we have also, for example, still no spyshots of testmules seen. Particularly the latter gives us on the Autoblog editorial staff an appropriate dose of doubt about the realism of the Slovenians.

But at the same time, there are arguments that an M3 Touring, however, to make plausible. First: the M5 Touring of the battlefield disappeared. An M5 is now only as a sedan available, something that had to do with relatively low sales figures.

At the same time play Audi and Mercedes all years the game to the fast estate title. Audi with the RS4 Avant and Mercedes with the C63 AMG Estate. BMW has never want to join that battle, but the question is whether they are not in the fingers to cut, especially now that the seller also no longer has to provide a customer a M5 Touring to talk to in the showroom.

One of the reasons why no M3 Touring build was always that it was difficult dynamics to get the extra pounds on the relatively small M3. But the M3 is with the advent of the latest generation is no small car anymore. In fact, the current BMW 3 is greater than the BMW 5 of a few generations ago. And so would those dynamics be a bit less difficult to realize.

Or the truth is, we will have a few months to know. Here on the editorial team, we would be in any case nice find, because if there is one brand, is that the established order of super-estates life miserable would be able to create more than the BMW. It would also be nice, if there is again a Freude am Fahren sticker on the family car from BMW is pasted might be.

An M3 Touring? We remain skeptical, but it makes more sense than ever that the dream can become a reality.
