    BMW M3 Touring Is Officially Happening, Not Confirmed for South Africa Yet

    Earlier this week we shared some news with you about a BMW M3 Touring being given the green light and although a lot of readers dismissed it rather quickly, BMW M confirmed it was indeed happening which nearly broke the internet.

    While BMW has never previously offered an M3 Touring in the 34-year history of the M3, it did produce a feasibility study prototype based on the third-generation model in 2000. Although it was driven by a number of journalists, it didn’t reach production.

    The new M3 Touring will give BMW a direct rival for the long-established Audi RS4 Avant for the first time. In a release, the Munich firm described the hot version of the 3 Series Touring as a “dream come true” that will add to the “unparalleled model diversity” of its expanded M range.

    Power will, of course, come from BMW M’s latest S58 twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six engine, which will produce 473 hp (353 kW) in its base form and 503 hp (375 kW) in the Competition models.

    Unfortunately for those ‘grille-haters’, it was also confirmed that the machine will offer the controversial large front air intakes (see renderings below).

    Starting this week we’ll be seeing prototypes of the G81 M3 Touring roaring around the Nordschleife and on public roads but don’t expect a production model until sometime in 2022.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
