The 2022-2025 BMW M3 Touring (G81) is the first-ever M3 wagon offered to the public, blending the performance of the M3 sedan with increased practicality. Journalistically, it is described as a sensational all-rounder and the ultimate "petrolhead's dad one-car-solution." Enthusiasts and reviewers praise its brutal speed, powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine (up to 530 hp in LCI models), and excellent balance of racetrack capability with everyday usability. Infamously, the design has faced controversy, particularly the kidney grille. However, it is celebrated for paving the way for the M5 Touring's return. The M3 Touring is ideally suited for daily driving, family use, and those seeking a versatile, high-performance vehicle without compromising on space.
BMW M3 operating costs are high, with maintenance averaging $14,868 over 10 years, which is more than the luxury sedan segment average. Major repair probability is 41.71%. Insurance averages around $4,733 annually. Common issues include loud engine noise and engine or transmission failure.
