And now BMW announces that it will have a good catalog of specific BMW M Performance accessories . Many are aesthetic, but there are also some technical toppings on the menu.
More salt and pepper for the first family M3 in history
BMW M has prepared excellent seasonings for the BMW M3 Touring . For example, its exterior aesthetics can be more aggressive thanks to several carbon fiber components , more precisely in the recurring CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic).
This is the case for the front lip, the front air intake fins, the exterior mirror housings, the rear diffuser or even the spoiler that crowns your roof.

Although they maintain the series measurements, 19 inches front and 20 inches rear, they offer a differential design with Y-spokes or crossed spokes and can be finished in matt Jet Black or Frozen Gold Bronze.
But in addition, the BMW M3 Touring can be accompanied by more sporty technical elements: this is the case of the M Performance exhaust system , with four outlets which are placed in the center.

Finally, for the interior, BMW M has prepared even sportier bucket seats , reinforced with carbon fiber elements and upholstered in Alcantara and perforated leather.
The icing on the cake is the center armrest in Alcantara with integrated aluminum M Performance badge and stitching in M colours, matt open-pore carbon fiber trim or LED spotlights that show the M Performance logo on the inside. opening doors and the selectable 50 Years BMW M' motif.
All these options offered by BMW M go very well with the references of this brutal member of the family. Under the hood hides a 3.0-liter TwinTurbo developing 510 hp and 650 Nm , which is managed by the eight-speed M Steptronic gearbox.
This automatic transmission transmits power to both axles or only to the rear, since the xDrive traction can be disconnected. Advantages? It does 0-100 in 3.6 seconds and can top out at 280 km/h with the M Driver's Package.
