"at the same time, I could be transporting a fridge back there!". Thomas, this is one of my favourite Autogefühl sentences ever! Also liked the "gentlemanly" description of driving in a high gear with the power in reserve. Lovely to see you both enjoying the car so much.
13:26 "When you love doing something, you will never have to work a day in your life" - awesome to see you guys enjoying this car review, makes it so natural and likeable...just love it!
That was a great review Thomas, i really enjoyed that one! It seems like it’s been awhile since you’ve reviewed a proper sports car like this one. I realize most of us drive more normal cars most of the time, but it’s reviews of sports cars like this that I enjoy the most. It looked like you did as well !
Great review, what a monster of a vehicle, clothed in a "station wagon" wrapping. Wow!, what joy running daily errands would be. Further, Lia adds a whole other element to the test, a warm voice, laughter as part of a mechanical concert. Cheers and carry on.....
Danke Thomas. Ihre Rezension des M3 Competition Kombi war voller Einsicht und Ausdruck. Als ehemaliger Besitzer eines Kombis der 3er-Reihe schätze ich Ihre Einschätzung der Schaltqualität. Mein Kombi 3er Baujahr 2012 hatte ein Schaltgetriebe, das sehr angenehm zu fahren war. Das neue Schaltautomatikgetriebe scheint noch besser zu sein! Machen Sie weiter so mit Ihrer hervorragenden Arbeit
Just curious Thomas. Are you briefed beforehand of the colour of the car you will be reviewing as the clothes you wear always match perfectly? Or do you take a suitcase of clothes to match the car? In any case another masterclass review as usual.
Really love this car. Only what is a little bit sad is that it's not available as a non competition version and also would love to have a manual gearbox of course.
Great review! I loved that you shot the beginning segment in late afternoon (or was it early morning?) sun to show off that beautiful paint job. Having previously owned a 3 series touring model for about 8 years I love this model and wished they would sell it in the US. I like the front end design and overall look of this M3, but I would prefer that the backend bulge around the exhaust/diffuser area be made less bulbous. Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.
Late to the party with your review. Together with Mat Watson the best review ofcourse ;) Zerman facts combined with Zerman humour, top! Keep up the excellent videos. 👌
If BMW would sell this in the USA I might preorder. Currently driving a high spec 330 MSport wagon, nearly bought a Z4 M40i for weekend thrills...with M3 wagon would get the thrills + maintain the practicality....very impressive.

"Zu viele?" So many choices of various settings. I think many drivers would be overwhelmed, and just leave it in default. Sometimes more is not better? Great review Thomas and Leah!
At last BMW has an estate version or station wagon of the M3 ! Great engine sound , cool interior, great performance but I'm not a fan of those bucket seats they look painful as hell to sit in with that thing in the middle ! I'd go with the normal seats here more comfort on long rides. Pitty the Americans won't get this uberwagon there . Anyway , super detailed review of this M3 Touring Thomas , keep up the great work man , bye bye !!!
I wonder what executives themselves think about touch screens and button. It's just abomination, I hope they follow what some Japanese companies are doing right now
Thomas, why BMW doesn’t offer sunroof on the M3? Second question, why overall BMW does not offer a proper panoramic sunroof (that opens) in the cars just like Audi and Mercedes?
Great review but Thomas showing his BMW bias big time The car is butt ugly - inside and out. The inside looks cheaper than a Nissan. The use of carbon fibre, especially in the seats, is so tacky BMW need to sack their car designers and start again
Another "Big Maintenance Worry", yes I've had two and learnt the hard way, looking at the engine bay I bet the engineering time dedicated to considering repair and maintenance and longevity could be less than a week of one graduate engineers time, it's all driven by sales and marketing and 3 year lease plans now, not bombproof quality engineering, it's all cheap, cheap, cheap past the nice feely, touchy buttons and steering wheel. How can a car be a financial write off because it needs a new head gasket!!!!!!, total shite engineering! And I've still not warmed to the hideous front end, and the fact the number plate's just stuck on as an afterthought with a bit of gorilla glue, only someone from sales and marketing could have designed the front end. Just saddens me to see the way BMW has gone, once a company driven by good engineering principals and engineers, small compact, quality cars. The new BMW Vision Neue Klasse Concept looks amazing but once sales and marketing take the design from the engineers, the grill will expand to monstrous proportions and all the good design will be replaced will cheap plastic most likely. Although financially for me BMW making super-ugly, low quality, poorly designed cars is kinda good, because I never see one any more and feel I really want to spend loads of my hard earned money on one.
Well, yes, um, sort of . The past BMW cars of say the 90's late 80's were built with super quality materials to last many many years . The engines were also quality long lasting and virtually never failed if you did the required maintenance on them. Now a lot of plastic is inside that engine bay , plastic plastic everywhere . It cheap , quick to put on but after a couple thousand miles, gets brittle, breaks and fails ,making that engine vulnerable to failing. I think it's not just BMW many car manufacturers are putting more cheap plastic in those engine bays and causing the engines to fail sooner. It's a sign of the times to put out lots of cars into the market for sales and marketing but causes huge repair bills for their owners later!!!
Great job Thomas - I almost felt that I was in the car with you 🫣👍. Here in the UK that specific configuration is over £107k.....that's a lot! Still, nice to hear that beautiful engine.
Cars are ridiculously expensive and now that the cheap finance has gone, I wonder how easily manufacturers will shift stock. By any measure, £100k+ seems crazy to me for what is ultimately a 3-series platform vehicle. I’d love one of these but it cost double what I paid for a used F90 M5…

Thomas and Chris Harris. The only 2 ends of the car review spectrum you need!
That was a great review Thomas, i really enjoyed that one! It seems like it’s been awhile since you’ve reviewed a proper sports car like this one. I realize most of us drive more normal cars most of the time, but it’s reviews of sports cars like this that I enjoy the most. It looked like you did as well !
Thomas is the best when it comes to in-depth reviews.
Agreed.
I think interior ASMR should become regular segment
Autogefühl's Instagram is almost completely this segment!
Great review, what a monster of a vehicle, clothed in a "station wagon" wrapping. Wow!, what joy running daily errands would be. Further, Lia adds a whole other element to the test, a warm voice, laughter as part of a mechanical concert. Cheers and carry on.....
Perhaps the best car currently available.
Too bad the front is just so ugly. The rest is fine
It is 😁
Except for the front grille. It ruins the rest of the design.
M340i is the sweet spot imo
In full black the front looks very good

Love that Lia enjoyed the ride as well! 😃Great review as always guys! And yes, a little ASMR segment would be welcome in every review!
Just curious Thomas. Are you briefed beforehand of the colour of the car you will be reviewing as the clothes you wear always match perfectly? Or do you take a suitcase of clothes to match the car? In any case another masterclass review as usual.
Thomas says, sometimes needs to be bigger 😂.
I love m3 touring or the sedan one!
You never fail to deliver.
Best mainstream car in the world today. Great review, as always.
I must admit the lady is doing a great job with the camera work from ever since you introduced her
most aerodynamic jawline in the automotive industry
I ordered the M3 Touring competition Xdrive a few weeks ago. To me, it is the sexiest of the M3 Sedan, M4, and M3 Touring.
Really love this car. Only what is a little bit sad is that it's not available as a non competition version and also would love to have a manual gearbox of course.
Great review! I loved that you shot the beginning segment in late afternoon (or was it early morning?) sun to show off that beautiful paint job.

Beautiful paint indeed. But not possible to repair with polishing. It should be possible to bring a matte paint on the market that is, no? 😉
BMW + 6 cylinders= me happy. Of course I may or may not be biased 😇
Amazing review thoroughly enjoyable and the car is a magnificent one maybe one of the best cars I’ve seen so far
Great review as always. Really good explanation why you should favor a 6 cilinder over a 4 cilinder!
Are you watching Mercedes! 😃
In my rear-view mirror
At this price point I would argue the Alpina B3 is the alternative not the M340i. Still a great thing tho!
Late to the party with your review. Together with Mat Watson the best review ofcourse ;) Zerman facts combined with Zerman humour, top! Keep up the excellent videos. 👌
Cheers m8!

Literally the best all-round car in the world
"Zu viele?" So many choices of various settings. I think many drivers would be overwhelmed, and just leave it in default. Sometimes more is not better? Great review Thomas and Leah!
i want that car and yes, a kombi always looks best
Cool Bmw M3 Touring
At last BMW has an estate version or station wagon of the M3 !
Great engine sound , cool interior, great performance but I'm not a fan of those
bucket seats they look painful as hell to sit in with that thing in the middle !
I'd go with the normal seats here more comfort on long rides.
Pitty the Americans won't get this uberwagon there .
Anyway , super detailed review of this M3 Touring Thomas ,
keep up the great work man , bye bye !!!
wow beautiful BMW M3
A Guillia estate? Yes please.
Definitely use the big shifting lever!! 😂😂
The real race car way for sequential shift is up for - and down for +, BMW does it properly.
I love this car, maybe one day I will be able to buy one.
Good review!
I also prefer driving in a higher gear for a more relaxed way ('gentlemen') of driving myself. A 3 Touring too by the way 😄
Great color. 😊
Thomas!!!! Great job!!!Thanks…
enjoy m8 =)
Wish my i4 here in the US was available in an estate version.
Wish you could turn up the Hans Zimmer sound in the i4. Will never drive an ICE car again but the sound of this M3 is amazing.
I’ve always wondered what car does Thomas himself drive/own?
15:55 😃
For dad's fun and with the same budget how about used M340i Touring and Z4 M40i in the garage in lieu of a M3 Touring and both tuned to +450hp.
Those are the sweet balance for me...
Awesome video.
Personally as daily I prefer by far the Alpina B3 ! And you what you think ?
What if a review on the nio EL6, and the ET5T. (ET5 touring)
Is it coming to the US
Can you review the manual M3 or M4 pleeease!?
I like this car
Nice! 👏🏼
I wonder what executives themselves think about touch screens and button. It's just abomination, I hope they follow what some Japanese companies are doing right now
Congrats on the video.
Real fell you have grown up on the slissy comments to more smarts comments.
Enjoy.
That front grille looks terrible!
@3:25 there should be no class in an M car LoL 😂
Best looking of the M3 lineup but why is BMW designing these blobby tail lights that appear stuck ON the sheet metal instead of integrated INTO it?
Will the touring models ever come back to North America?
Like the i5 Touring.
Schön Auto!👍👍
Can you get a susunroof with the new m3
This car is hot 🔥 only the grill is ugly but inside 100%nice
Thank you Thomas. Not for me. Alpina B3 Touring: much more discreet, more comfortable, same to 62mph, top speed higher at 188mph....
We don't get the wagons in teh US because we are stupid. Wish you had done one of the M3 competition in sedan form.
My dream car.. my life would be complete. But unfortunately it is impossible to buy or drive these in Turkey.
Dream!
Who buys a €100k M3 with standard DRL?!?
Yeah i agree lasers should be as standard these headlights look so poverty 😭😭
Thomas, why BMW doesn’t offer sunroof on the M3? Second question, why overall BMW does not offer a proper panoramic sunroof (that opens) in the cars just like Audi and Mercedes?
Carbon roof. Weight balance.
I want this bad
The Touring is the correct version of the M3
After all this time, Thomas still goes on about the steering feel on the 3 Series. I do not know of any other reviewer who has the same thoughts.
I know of a lot of customers that do
@@autogefuehl Well I have a 330i M Sport and I don’t have a problem.
Good for you, then it’s fine ! 😎 after all it is a feeling
So sad it won’t come to North America 😢
Perf spec
I think Audi currently is lacking behind in terms of design compared to BMW and Mercedes.
Agree. I find Audi very boring and staid in design terms. They are definitely lagging behind their two German rivals.
1000 km in those seats? doesn't look good.
Great review but Thomas showing his BMW bias big time
The car is butt ugly - inside and out. The inside looks cheaper than a Nissan.
The use of carbon fibre, especially in the seats, is so tacky
BMW need to sack their car designers and start again
👍👍👍
Thomas other cars please, BMW is borrowing no real news!
another great proper German car that we can't buy in the US...... 😭😭😭😭😭
Too bad their EV lineup doesn’t look remotely close to this. Their grills are now flat glass 🤢🤮
First
It's time to stop calling the (very ugly) front intake for kidneys, they look like nostrils.
expensive overkill...
Another "Big Maintenance Worry", yes I've had two and learnt the hard way, looking at the engine bay I bet the engineering time dedicated to considering repair and maintenance and longevity could be less than a week of one graduate engineers time, it's all driven by sales and marketing and 3 year lease plans now, not bombproof quality engineering, it's all cheap, cheap, cheap past the nice feely, touchy buttons and steering wheel.

Say what you really think !!
Only german can buy BMW m3 touring.
interduce us to your girlfriend. why doesn't she talk?
Great job Thomas - I almost felt that I was in the car with you 🫣👍. Here in the UK that specific configuration is over £107k.....that's a lot! Still, nice to hear that beautiful engine.
