It couldn't be clearer. On the side of the future and camouflaged BMW M3 Touring , we can see the layout of the most famous German track, the Nürburgring, accompanied by the expression “B'Ring it on”, playing with the English expression “bring it on” (something like “bring it”) and the abbreviation “Ring ” to identify the Nürburgring.
This image reminds us that BMW M never announced an official time for its new M3 and M4, but the German publication Sport Auto managed a time of 7min30.79s with the M4 Competition. An excellent time, on par with that achieved by the much more powerful Tesla Model S Plaid, for example.
Will BMW M use the new and unprecedented M3 Touring to make official a time at the Nürburgring of this generation G80/G81/G82 of the M3/M4 saga? It seems so.

M3 Touring
Despite these new images released by the BMW M itself, the van has already been “caught” on several occasions on the road in tests and, as expected, will share its main technical characteristics with the M3 sedan and the M4 Coupé.
In other words, under the hood will reside the S58, the block of six cylinders in a twin-turbo line that has two levels of power: 480 hp and 510 hp (in Competition versions).
It remains to be confirmed whether the M3 Touring will have a number of versions as extensive as the saloon and the coupé, which can even come equipped with a manual gearbox when equipped with the 480hp version, or whether it will be reduced to the Competition versions with automatic gearbox and /or four-wheel drive.
Taking into account the apparent “attack” on the Nürburgring, it is certain that it will have all the 510 hp it will be entitled to. And for the first time, BMW M will have a direct rival to the Audi RS 4 Avant and the future Mercedes-AMG C 63 Station, which, we remember, will abandon the V8 and will be equipped with an in-line four-cylinder and a driving rear axle. electric.
