I go through unhealthy phases of car obsession of the month, but the M3 has lingered for as long as I can remember. Such a thing of beauty and the beast!
Great spec isn't it, I suppose but these are the M Performance, lighter and 20-21 inch so larger also - can be powder coated if any colour change but with the gloss black and carbon accents I feel the black ties in nicely... however, chrome silver would look incredible against this darker paint!
Stunning car. I have the same M Performance interior trim in my M340i Touring. Just think the mix of the matt and gloss carbon is a bit odd in this one but that’s just my opinion.
Isn’t it just! Oh really, it looks very nice so bet you’re happy about having that! Yeah I agree, it threw me off when it went from gloss to that matte, looks neat but not as nice to follow the glossy style on the interior and exterior of the car🤔
Oh thank you for answering haha, saved me asking, wonder if you can feel much difference in comparison to the standard non m performance cars / how it would perform against one! You’ll have to test it with yours 😁
God dam that performance exhaust is all wrong! It looks less aggressive then the standard. Even the diffuser you have to fit is less aggressive. That and the blacked out rims make this car almost the perfect touring spec!
It’s a marmite spec the exhaust option. Do you think?? I feel it looks more menacing, I do like the standard exhaust, the diffuser looks good on the standard looks more pronounced! The M Performance wheels do look good!
Salesman didn’t want to be on camera but was happy to explain behind hence the lack of persons in the main segment, would’ve loved for him to be there speaking about it in front of the camera but wasn’t comfortable unfortunately
@@lukemedia Thanks for the reply, I don’t think it is a good spec in general (Of course this is subjective) All for bright interiors & this interior would work really well with a bold colour like Sao Paulo yellow, but clashes with Dravit Grey IMHO, perhaps the extended Silverstone Grey might have been a more complementary & certainly as impactful choice given the exterior. On the exterior I always think the Carbon pack gets a little lost on Darker shades like Dravit & Tanzanite 2. But still worth having of course if for nothing else for the Buckets which are a must have. The Tourings in the frozen colours look great, ditto Skyscraper grey & Isle of Man green. The optional M-Sport exhaust doesn’t suit the Touring (or indeed other Ms) & I don’t think that’s a controversial opinion, I think most who want a spicer sounds without the questionable looks would augment the standard OEM exhaust with something more tasteful from the aftermarket. Interesting to see the Carbon ceramics spec’d as Id have thought it is fairly unlikely that a Touring is going to be tracked extensively, but the gold callipers go well with the Dravit Grey, that being said if it were me I’d have got them painted black & spec’d silver wheels, as black wheels are not great on estates, especially ones painted in a relatively dark shade. Thanks again for the video, like I said I think the spec is fairly terrible but still super interesting to see so many options on one (early) car.
@@SimonHarrisAdDope Oh I see, it has everything you could want for performance, weight saving (even if it's ever so slightly...). I found that on the Sao Paulo M4 Comp I photographed that has the same interior it was overly bright, i think the clash of dark and bright works quite nicely! But very subjective, I do like the Silverstone and maybe the Kayalami Orange for this grey. Buckets are essential, not the comfiest after a while but very supportive and it's worth it as any other seats make the car look less sporty and special imo. Frozen colours on these tourings and also the saloons are incredible, I love the frozen black thats a great one! Frozen black and orange interior would be *chef kiss*! The exhaust is definitely marmite, I think as I've seen two in person now it's grown on me and suits the touring as it's slightly bigger so fills it, can't really explain... OEM exhaust is top though don't get me wrong, I love the quad, especially on my Golf R, I love that style! Well for track you wouldn't really want carbon ceramic, although yeah they are ideal for track but thinking of cost and what other race cars I've worked with use, ceramics are extremely expensive to repair so any damage incurs huge costs! I think it's just to have a high spec you'd go for ceramic... Yeah callipers look incredible against the paint! Silver wheels would look mega as it will show more details and not hide them as much, but I do like the matte finish! I was surprised to see such a high spec as you say on such an early car, usually the new ones are very restricted with options they can have... thank you also nice to see others not agreeing with the spec just because it's so high and expensive, appreciate the comment!😊
This M3 Touring is INSANE! Do you prefer the Touring or the Saloon version?🤩
Must be the best spec I have ever seen!! Great video as always 🔥🔥
It’s one of the best I’ve seen! That colour works wonders😍
I go through unhealthy phases of car obsession of the month, but the M3 has lingered for as long as I can remember. Such a thing of beauty and the beast!
This must be coldest touring spec on RUclips lol..wow!
It's pretty incredible isn't it!👏🏼
I like this interior 👌🏻 good job man
It really does work having that interior doesn’t it, I was surprised! Thank you!😊
Touring all day long, but I might be a bit biased 🤩🤩🤩
Haha! Touring is a great choice, I think after seeing yours, I'd have to go with Touring now, I'm sold!🤩
What a spec! However, I wouldn't have chosen blacked out rims, I'm not a fan of those. For me, the sort of hide the design of the car.

Lovely cinematics, as always mate
Thanks man, really appreciate that!
Just excellent! Congratulations. So annoyed they are not bringing the touring to the US..
Thank you! I heard that they’re not going into the US, that makes me sad for you guys! Hopefully they change their mind!😢
😢

It’s nothing like the interior of a 340i any any stretch of the imagination. Unless you mean carbon trim 😂
With all these carbon and titanium exhaust any idea what’s actual weight loss compare to a non carbon M3 COMP TOURING????? 😊
I’m not too sure actually, I’ll try ask someone from BMW if they know and get back to you!😁
The titanium exhaust saves 7kg, the carbon brakes save about 14kg. I can't imagine the carbon body pieces save much, maybe 2kg.
Oh thank you for answering haha, saved me asking, wonder if you can feel much difference in comparison to the standard non m performance cars / how it would perform against one! You’ll have to test it with yours 😁
Wow thanks a lot guys for information and clarification - much much appreciated
My favorite color 💯✍️
God dam that performance exhaust is all wrong! It looks less aggressive then the standard. Even the diffuser you have to fit is less aggressive.
That and the blacked out rims make this car almost the perfect touring spec!
It’s a marmite spec the exhaust option. Do you think?? I feel it looks more menacing, I do like the standard exhaust, the diffuser looks good on the standard looks more pronounced! The M Performance wheels do look good!
lovely.
thank you!
Thanks for bringing this video to us. Maybe the salesman should be doing the review??

Ultimate pack with carbon ceramics. Its got 100% all the options.
I think when the dealer asked what options he'd like, he must've just said "yes!" 😆
Literally that car is as loaded as you can have it. Its all the options. Love the M3 touring. Long awaited.
@@cephasmakuzva Ticked every box for extras haha! It's such a great car, seeing more of them really makes me love them even more! Very long awaited!
💯🔥🔥
spend 5k on a quality tune and you've a 700hp Porsche turbo s killer without need for any other upgrades 💪💪👌👌👏👏
That would be crazy to see if anyone builds one like that!😳
and the seats are not ventilated 😑
M3 Taurine
🤣🤣 that’ll be the Yorkshire accent
@@lukemedia 🤣
Not feeling any love for that interior colour choice.
it's very marmite, it does work though, maybe you've gotta see it in person to appreciate it
Great car, terrible spec.
it's a perfect spec
Are the seats not your fav or the whole thing??

"sounds a lot nicer" sounds the fuckin same actually
It sounds different to a stock exhaust, sounds like you’ve got some hurt against the performance exhaust 😂
