Love it cant wait. Really torn between this and the Alpina B3. I do need a hitch for bike transport though, so the M3 Touring wont have that option. Need to check if I can get something aftermarket. Due to good conditions the B3 and the M3 will cost me the same, even though M3 has significantly higher price. I just think the B3 is a bit too tame/calm and I probably like the character of the M more…

Do you have any idea when the official presentation is? My dealer hasnt got ANY informations.

No, the UK dealers have no information yet. I have a deposit down to place the order when released.

Like you, I considered the B3 Touring which is an awesome car, but the M3 Touring will be unique.

Nice. Yes it will be unique, an absolute beast and a future collectible. But I like the front of the B3 more. Well I need to wait anyway till next year. Looking forward to the comparison between the B3 LCI with 490 hP and the M3 Touring.

That has a real touch of class about it in the green. Can't imagine these are easy to buy

The colour is stunning and with the shadow line and black wheels very sporty. Its a great mix. And its definitely more classy/beautiful then the M3 front end. Very curious for the B3 LCI which should get a power pump to 490 hp as well. The problem is, you just get 3 years warranty on the B3 in switzerland (you can get 5 on the M3 Touring) and only 5 years of Service pack (you get 10 on the M3 Touring). So with the better discount on the M3 that I get, in the end its actually cheaper than the B3… Even if I readd the cost to retrofit a hitch.

Some more pics of the B3 next to my V60 Polestar:
