BMW is preparing to bring back the M3 Touring in the upcoming Neue Klasse generation, according to new reports and renderings.
The high-performance estate is expected to continue as part of BMW’s electrified future lineup, following strong global demand for the current model.
Strong Demand Secures the M3 Touring Future
The current BMW M3 Touring has been a major success in markets like Europe, the US, and China.
Due to this demand, BMW is reportedly planning to continue the Touring body style in the next-generation M3 lineup based on the Neue Klasse platform.
This confirms that performance wagons will remain part of BMW M’s long-term strategy.
Neue Klasse Design Direction
The next M3 Touring will adopt BMW’s new Neue Klasse design language, which focuses on:
- Cleaner and simpler exterior styling
- Slimmer lighting units
- More aerodynamic body surfaces
- Reduced visual complexity
Renderings suggest the wagon will closely follow the upcoming electric M3 sedan design, but with extended rear practicality.
Electrified Performance Expected
The new M3 Touring is expected to share technology with the next-generation iM3 / electric M3, which may include:
- Quad-motor electric drivetrain (one motor per wheel)
- 800V architecture
- Advanced torque vectoring system (“Heart of Joy”)
- High-performance battery pack above 100 kWh
This setup could make it one of the most powerful wagons BMW has ever built.
Petrol and Hybrid Options Still Possible
While full-electric versions are confirmed to lead the lineup, BMW is also expected to continue offering:
- Inline-six petrol M3 variants
- Mild-hybrid assistance systems
This ensures the M3 Touring will still appeal to traditional performance buyers in certain markets.
Launch Timeline
The new BMW M3 Touring is expected to arrive around 2027, alongside the next-generation M3 sedan.
Testing and development are already underway under heavy camouflage.
A New Era for Performance Wagons
With Neue Klasse design, electrified powertrains, and strong global demand, the M3 Touring is set to remain one of BMW M’s most important enthusiast models. The combination of performance, practicality, and new EV technology will define the next generation of BMW estates.
