2022 BMW M3 TOURING TESTING AT THE NÜRBURGRING

During the Industry Pool at the N?rburgring I have filmed the 2022 BMW M3 Touring testing on track and driving on the public roads. This isn't the first time we've seen BMW's fantastic new performance wagon. In fact, it's not even the first time we've seen this exact M3 Touring test vehicle. That's right ? good old 2288 is back for more testing, and the long roof has progressed to the boss stage of the battle. Its mission: attack the N?rburgring with every single nugget of available power. There isn't much new to report with these images, at least from a design standpoint. 2288 appears to be wearing the same camo wrap as when we first saw it back in August 2020. The wheels even look the same, though after seeing this we doubt the tires are the same. It's extremely odd to see the same test vehicle in public, so either BMW is using the same number plate for multiple prototypes, or the test fleet for the first official BMW M3 station wagon is just really small. In any case, the wrap isn't hiding much. The M3 Touring will literally be an M3 with a bit more junk in the trunk. The big grille holds firm for the estate, feeding air to the BMW's familiar twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine. We expect it will be the 503-horsepower (375-kilowatt) version from the M3 Competition, channeling power to all four wheels so it can battle the Audi RS4 Avant. That means an eight-speed M Sport transmission handling cog swaps instead of a manual, but we suspect M3 Touring buyers will prefer that setup. When will we see it revealed? Our sources are saying 2022, and with BMW recently releasing a teaser photo of the M3 Touring (using the same 2288 car no less), we expect to see it sooner rather than later.
