BMW officially announced plans for its M3 station wagon last year, and in recent months, spy photos of the new M3 station wagon have appeared frequently on the Internet, although the current attention is average, but it is a car full of imagination, and, according to the currently released spy photos, it is not just a variant of the current M3.
According to the spy photos taken by foreign media a few days ago, and it is a spy photo taken at close range, the front face design elements of the M3 station wagon will be used are the same as the current M3/M4, this large-size double kidney grille first appeared on the 4 series, although it has been complained about by many people, but in fact it is surprisingly popular, and now in the domestic market, the new 4 series can be described as a car is difficult to find.
The camouflage used by the vehicle in the spy photo is also the same camouflage used by BMW in many "official" camouflage cars, plus large tires and red performance calipers, so it can be judged that the vehicle in the spy photo uses a body close to mass production, and BMW also generously adds the words M3 station wagon on the body.
The biggest difference between the M3 Station wagon and the standard M3 and 3 series is that its interior may use bmw's next-generation family element, that is, the curved double screen theme, which is reflected in the new 2 Series Andy and the new iX. Usually, the M3 station wagon should directly follow the design of the current M3, but perhaps BMW itself feels that it is time to go directly to the latest interior.
In terms of powertrain, BMW will definitely use the 6-cylinder 3.0T engine used in the current M3 and M4, with a maximum power of more than 500 horsepower and a maximum torque of about 650 Nm, and it is certain that at least in this version of the M3 station wagon, there will be no intervention in plug-in technology.
In terms of competing models, it is reasonable to say that the competitor of the BMW M3 station wagon is the Audi RS4 and the AMG version of the Mercedes-Benz station wagon, but since the M3 station wagon has really made the market wait too long, maybe it will give more surprises. If there is no accident, BMW will officially release the M3 station wagon this year, considering bmw's brand, the niche positioning of the crock tank car and the current hot selling status of M3/M4, the probability of this car being popular in China after listing is very large.
