A catalogue of M Performance parts usually follows any important reveal from BMW’s M division. Here’s how you can make your BMW M3 Touring one of a kind!

The BMW M3 Touring is a very big deal. It’s the first performance station wagon with an M3 badge and there’ll be no doubt customers will want to make it even more special. Welcome to M Performance parts, which enhances the standard offering rather tastefully.

The best part is these goodies are OEM original parts and don’t affect any motorplans. Right, so what’s on offer for the new BMW M3 Touring? Do you like carbon fibre? Good, because you can get generous amounts of the stuff splashed on the front intake, the grille, the mirrors, rear winglet, fuel filler cap and even get small aerodynamic flicks located on the front bumper.

Inside, there’s a lot of potential with carbon fibre door sills, carbon fibre trim, an M Performance Pro steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara and with inserts made from… you guessed it… carbon fibre. There are also M Performance backrest covers for the seats in Alcantara.

The gearshift paddles can be upgraded to larger carbon fibre units and there’s a tasteful Alcantara armrest and kneepad, along with floor mats and there are even M Performance LED door projector logos.

Just like with the exterior, the interior will have a bunch of upgraded carbon fiber add-ons. For instance, there will be carbon fiber door sills, open-pore carbon fiber trim, an M Performance Pro steering wheel with an Alcantara rim and carbon inserts, and seat backrest covers in Alcantara and carbon fiber.

So that’s the visual aspect covered, but M Performance has even more goodness on offer. There’s a louder M Performance exhaust that comes with the semi-stacked centre design as well as a new rear bumper. This new exhaust plumbing is made from titanium and is 7 kg lighter than the standard unit.

There’s no doubting the handling setup of the standard car, but you can enhance its cornering capabilities with an M Performance parts coiler kit, which is mechanically adjustable with height and damper settings being adjustable. There’s a height range of 5-20mm which is said to reduce body roll.

Finally, there are some stylish new alloy wheel designs on offer, and you can get that stanced look with 21-inch units at the rear, and 20-inch units on the front. They’re available in Frozen Gold (pictured here) or Jet Black Matte.

As it stands, the BMW M3 Touring is not confirmed for a South African market introduction, but we have our fingers crossed that a few make their way to SA.
