I take that wager right now.That M3 estate will sell like hot cakes.
Cotswold Cheltenham told me that they have 5 deposits already, part of me is tempted but then I think with decent options it’s £100k for a 3 series. I’ll wait until there’s well spec’d 1-2 year old ones available depending on what used prices do.That M3 estate will sell like hot cakes.
@J1nxy used to have one I believe.any owners on here of X3 M40i or X3M competition. what are the benefits of the X3M competition over the M40i in addition to the extra cost is it worth it ?
Nice. I enjoyed watching the progress of the M3 Touring on BMW M’s YouTube. It was an interesting marketing approach.
I had an x3m for about 6 months at the end of 2020. I had it from new and it was one of the early my21 cars so had the newer dash, Idrive and HUD system.any owners on here of X3 M40i or X3M competition. what are the benefits of the X3M competition over the M40i in addition to the extra cost is it worth it ?
There's definitely a market there somewhere, the C63 estate and RS4 Avant have existed for ages it's only BMW late to the party. The Audi is only about 70k though...
I also suspect that if it doesn't sell well, and I suspect it won't at that price, they'll never do another.And that’s the issue. The other cars already exist at a lower price, at the moment.
Don’t get me wrong, I know it’ll be a special car, but I think the timing is wrong on this.
An F81 M3 touring at £60k new would have been appealing. This is another 20k on top.
Just not sure. It’s the worst looking M3 they could have done it to as well
Ultimate pack is £12k I think which is where the £100k comes in.The price is in line with everything else really. These cars are just not cheap, like most things.
An M3 Competition Saloon starts at £78,175.An M4 Competition Coupe starts at £79,475.An M4 Competition Convertible starts at £85,870.The M3 Competition Touring starts at £83,470.
So yes, it's quite a bit of a premium, but we're in the £80-90k range regardless of M car model (with a couple of options).
I don't know whether the Touring comes with any extra spec either as standard, that is sometimes the case.

It's still a 3 Series, no matter how much more pointlessly fast you make it.
I see no value in this over an M340i at an extra £30k. What does it do that makes it worth it?
Why is 400bhp not sufficient in a 3 Series estate?
