2024 BMW M3 Touring (inc. 0-100, drift analyser, traction modes) detailed review!

[@sheeshman9713]

I think that purple colour looks awesome. It's something different from the boring black, white and grey people usually go for

[@jackh4787]

Definitely my pick for that segment and even though it’s 200k you get a lot of car for that. The ultimate performance family car.

[@teddym2808]

Yep, this is what I want for my next car, in that colour too. Finally saw something I really love! What a car :)

[@dcs55b30]

Random fact for the rubber grips in the boot. They are motorised (you can see the motors under the floor when you lift it up) and when you drive up the rubber strips raise so they are above the stainless steel section and grip your luggage even more.

[@B4ndItOo]

Perfect. Stroller won't be flying around when playing with drift analyser on the way to playground!

[@SamSam-ky8wp]

It's crazy to have a family performance car while your kid at the back saying daddy go faster faster :) Love M3, always my first choice in this segment.

[@thenorthwatch777]

Hi Paul, firstly great review. Its become tiring to say great review cause you never drop the ball. Secondly, I don't like how much fun you are having. Work is not suppose to be this fun lol. As for the car, well BMW never drops the ball either on M Performance vehicles. Brilliant.

[@nkosicollier4984]

Yesss! If i had the money i would buy it in the same black color u mentioned but unfortunately im poor 😅 but maybe someday ill get it. Im staying positive 🙂

[@wisruteb]

Very cool demo of the M Traction Control! 🎉

[@8weapons]

Just brilliant cars. I’m on my 3rd //M car and they are just amazing to drive

[@arjunsuryakumar6526]

I own an M3 xdrive and 330i, as a owner of both i can say both are awesome cars- 330i everyday use.. M3 unless you take it to the track there is noway you can feel the power of the car.. cant go fast in our roads, have been very cautious driving it due to the power .. the power is insane, but worth all the money.. have the brooklyn grey with blue and yellow seats- attracts a lot of attention.. both cars are completely reliable and i can vouch for that driven 60k in my 330i

[@kylefromnz]

There is a Dravit Grey one at my local dealership and it looks gorgeous. Really cool cars. Took me a while, went from not liking the grille to being at peace with it, to now loving how it looks.

[@zed5166]

Great review paul, good to see those “limeburners” skills put to good use at your job haha 🤙🤙 Keep up the great work

[@anthonyauhl4936]

This is something I could really go for - would definitely buy one for my son & his family if I won Tattslotto! Question - would you sell the Raptor for one of these Paul?

[@markchesterfield6118]

You are such a big kid! Love your unbridled enthusiasm and joy in this car. Absolutely awesome, well done BMW...

[@Rog6765]

Lordy, simply the one car that does it all.

[@tigesimmons6711]

Cracking review, well done team!

[@dhiquobgnaloo]

Love to see a comparison to the new Audi rs6 performance even though the Audi is more expensive.

[@tomasrohovsky3931]

the m3 accelerates better faster 0-100 and faster 1/4 mile however since the rs6 has like 100 ho more and has no limiter like m3 the top speed is better on rs6 overall i would compare it to the diferrence between m3 comp and b5

[@maxregal8889]

Must surely be the only new car you can buy in so many non-boring colours. Hooray. And Paul likes black.

[@_Atomic_impact]

They cant keep up with The orders. Got to love this allrounder!

[@jingwen07]

Looks amazing!

[@CurlyHeadedFark]

after having a golf r wagon I’d absolutely love one of these, shame they’re so pricey 😅

[@lummylum1875]

You should have tried Lane Assist for a boring highway drive. It is awesome and makes the Hume Highwsay drive so much more relaxing.

[@SemiAutoNissan]

Nice review guys, one small comment I had would be that it would be nice to know if the autonomous / safety systems can be deactivated and whether it's painful to do each time you jump in. It's something that can make a big difference to the experience if you're constantly having to turn off invasive driving interventions etc

[@l4ndz3r]

wow i saw u really are very happy and having so much fun with this car

[@wibmag]

This is by far the best review of the M3 Touring i have seen yet! (and i have seen many😂) Good work, thank you! (Btw, just ordered one…)

[@sassall4284]

Rate the colour. Almost like the midnight purple GTRs and Diablo

[@paulkazzer]

I think the Alpina touring version is more discreet, equally fast but with a more comfortable ride. That would make a great comparison test.

[@B4ndItOo]

Those are different cars (both great) for different people.

[@monyx1101]

The trend now to stick larges screen out on scaffold support as a "dash" is horrendous looking. Love the last of the round 'analogue' gauges in my F98 X4M Competition - I needed all of the 200mm clearance to access my driveway so no M3 Touring for me.

[@MrBradBull]

Hallelujah someone made a purple car again! MORE PURPLE CARS PLEASE, CAR MAKERS!

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

this is very good sport wagon from bmw.

[@purevenom9381]

Please please do a review on 2023 Alpina B3 Touring - thanks in advance

[@eyecontrol4900]

you guys should review the m3 with the manual transmission

[@Jeyden28]

Petition to force BMW to bring this car to America?🥲

[@kevincaldwell4707]

G'day I'm Kevin...always good to see a new video from CarExpert! But $180k for a station wagon (as we call them in Canada)? @22:26 Paul's o-face? :D

[@asum307]

Not quite that much in CAD. $159K CAD, or there abouts. Haha

[@Alby911]

Australian luxury car tax is the main reason for the increased price hike in Australia. Shipping and low volume also worth noting

[@froggy0162]

It’s not an suv, so therefore it’s cool.

[@vuyaniman9440]

Great review

[@marklearner3299]

I want that car with a carbon roof, other than that, this is car perfection, I love that grill...it just looks menacing. I could then stop driving my R8 Track Ed as my daily. They don’t make the Touring with a carbon roof! Apparently BMW think buyers of the Touring would prefer a sunroof. Come on BMW, that’s not the case, it’s a performance car, why wouldn’t we want less weight up high? Seriously who cares about the sunroof?

[@vuyaniman9440]

5 stars for the review.

[@carleddison7479]

Not sure where you got that weight figure from; the car actually weighs 1865kg, 85kg more than the saloon version. Still a good review on everything else.

[@lyf6626]

Going sideways really puts a smile on one’s face 😅

[@BrettAlan84]

Paul, When going from Practicality to on the road, Instead of driving the car. Can you do a startup sound test? especially on performance cars.

[@jamesmoros1274]

Miss the wagons we used to have in Oz 🇦🇺 and no not $180k for a wagon 😂

[@fredc9655]

Definitely a perfect daily all-rounder

[@brankokolevski3936]

Amazing car. I'd like to see this compared to a C63s and Audi RS4.....a drag race would br epic.

[@rforracemode5846]

technoviolet is such a classic bmw colour looks great on the m3

[@masteradamscorch4272]

You should show the cars at night with the lights on

[@Rabsallawah]

He has already done a video with BNW laser lights compared to other. And the Skoda LED’s are better.

[@nabillarif]

Amazing gotta say, but whats the point of it being a family wagon where the rear legroom looks frankly pathetic

[@Norry218]

Definitely what I'd be buying if I won lotto, Looks run of the mill station wagon but performs anything but. Could BMW tempt you out of the Supra Paul?

[@paulredfern2252]

Why are the auto safety features not standardised to meet compliance, like why do we have to pay for premium vehicles to get what should be standard and functional. I.e. this one does all 3 lanes of auto steering, whilst other brands are dangerous on flatlands other traffic...?

[@Bmontepeque11]

Ok, we ignore that grille and this is one of the best looking cars I have ever seen, and that spec, WOW. I genuinely don't think you can do any better if you want a 1 car garage than this ❤️😩 (Except maybe a V12 Ferrari Grand Tourer)

[@FLUFFY2U2]

What do you think about 2024 BMW X5 40i M Sport?

[@benking2271]

I have a ZB Commodore wagon (similar rear shape) and the rear window gets filthy! I think it's because of the overhanging body (spoiler?) that creates vortices and drags the dust in

[@daineseboy78]

Yeah car is super impressive and I’d love one as a bmw m3 fan but man I’d lose my licence day one with that. If I lived in Germany maybe better but in Australia it’s a total waste of time and money. Such a shame

[@Alby911]

If we're being pragmatic, any relatively fast car that can go above and beyond 110km/h in Australia is a waste of time and money

[@rickvulcan2126]

🤣 Paul having a blast. 👍

[@SPQRTempus]

Must be a very good car because it scored 14 on the Paul Maric Unrealometer.

[@paulllacey1344]

Cadbury purple

An excellent review.

Awesome car!! Thank you bmw

[@stickers8447]

Hey Paul, will you be testing the m3 cs when it arrives?

[@thepuntersperspective]

i likes the blueberry muffin with white chocolate and a m3 wagon

[@genghiskhan8148]

paul, have you an OCD about cleanliness? the car is just fine

[@CarExpertAus]

Commenters often call it out. Not much we can do about it.

[@alexi21san]

These cars would sell in big numbers if Australia had an autobarn like Germany

[@thyliamm8158]

legit and not like we don’t have the space for it😭

[@dschonsie]

we have speed limits in our autobarns, otherwise the chicken would go crazy 😋

[@kieranoriordan8632]

Aren’t there over 130 Autobarns in Australia? 😂

[@ianm4316]

BMW slipped up in the drivers customization in the m1/m2 buttons you cannot programe either of those with the M head up display. What's the point in having M1/M2 if they are not fully customizable🤔

[@Nae395]

So basically BM DOUBLE U are advocating putting little Johnny in his baby bjorn strapped in the back seat and Daddy does some drifting around Campbellfield.?

[@swedishbob_7315]

Run Flat tyres? What about a BMW M5 CS Paul "Matt" Maric Help me CarWow

[@lowdeposithomes8043]

Hi Paul, Could you do a detail review of the X3 M Competition 2023 Please. Thanking You Kindly Alex

[@TorqueMediaau]

The Purple Pig nose. High powered performance wagons are always a win but still just cannot get past the grill.

[@0M7D]

I'd pay abit more and get RS6

[@erawamai]

love my g21

[@Nae395]

$180k and a plastic water pump. Oh Lord I guess they'll con a few wood ducks.

[@thakillerb]

The question is: what is the asking price for that part?!

I want one..😆

[@chris0628]

These reviews are focused for Australia and so why on earth are you guys always talking about blasting down the Autobahn 😂

[@MKWIISims318]

Ignoring price, would you pick this or an RS6?

[@chuck2547]

Rs6 much prettier

[@ΓιώργοςΣποντιδακης]

Why don't you try the opel corsa???

[@a19x]

Is it purple Silk metallic?

[@videowsatcher]

drove a rental 320 in Melbourne recently; I almost had to come to a standstill when going over speed humps. If M3 is as firm or even more firm, it is way too firm

[@B4ndItOo]

What's your point? 🤔Pointless comment. If you don't like sport cars, then go ahead and buy Lexus/Volvo/Skoda, you will be happy while I won't be commenting that they drive like sofas.

[@videowsatcher]

@@B4ndItOo You should be aware that I previously owned a lifted Jeep Wrangler and yes it was firmer on the road however, it was no way near as sharp over speed bumps nor, cracked roads. I was happy to live with it, the BMW I am not so sure. I don't live in Germany

[@B4ndItOo]

@@videowsatcher I live in a country with pretty bad roads and owned or currently have various sports cars, with M3 being rather on the softer side. Even much harsher car I’m currently daily driving including 3h trips and I’m perfectly fine. Even For my wife M3 in comfort mode is fine. But so what? You have different expectations from cars, that’s fine. I spent years getting accustomed to the compromises my car’s preferences require. Normal 3 series FOR ME is annoying and doesn’t handle good enough, BUT I’m not complaining in the reviews of that kind of cars that they are too soft. They aren’t. They are carefully designed to much given demographic preferences. I mean I’m nitpicking on your phrase “it’s way too firm” like you were stating a fact. M3 is not too firm. It’s a really great compromise for a daily driver too most people that would like to have it.

[@mattpowe]

The perfect car. Will need a racing harness for my doggo and a tow bar for my tinny.

[@hellothere4342]

My opinion. The oversea only G20 340i estate just looks far far better than this.

[@raven40611]

Which purple is this?

[@ronaldov09]

Yeah Id prefer to pick up a slightly used Audi S4 Avant, give it a few mods...get 90% of the performance, arguably better looks and save 100K. Anyway, these are kind of pointless, we have speed camera trailers around ever second corner where I live, having a performance car almost seems silly in this day and age...unless of course you do track days quite often.

[@ronaldov09]

@@Legotechs Yes an S4 is less than 90% of a G80 M3, but if you can actually read I said a modified S4. A Stage 2 B9 S4 runs around 11.2-11.3 quarter which is pretty similar to an X-Drive M3...so yeah 90%...flog.

[@ronaldov09]

For the vast majority of people it is. Of course handling and braking are important, and again, for not much money this can be vasty improved on the S4@@Legotechs

Enough germs man cars where my JDM ZRV? SCROSS? CROSSTREK?

[@andreasschultze6644]

Very weirdly speced m3. Who configurated this thing??? I mean… no privacy glas and also the exterior carbon pack is a must.

[@trogdortheburninator8149]

As somebody who has never had a Mercedes and only has BMWs (including a prior m3) and Porsches I just can’t get over that hideous screen - it’d be a c63 (I can’t believe I said that) or rs6 (bigger but they’re nice) or a taycan cross turismo I just couldn’t look at that sceeen every day 😢

Who has money for this with the cost of living. Much more realiable than a VW i guess.

Why is it that when every KZbin car journo shows Apple Car Play they have dozens of missed calls and text messages?

Gorgeous colour. Who wants black, so dated

[@CMCNestT]

The Kardashians were driving matte black cars in the aughties. It is played out. Get the purple.

[@marklearner3299]

Yeah purple with a carbon roof, I'm assuming that's an option. I love the matt black, but this purple has been completely hooked.

[@zaamuro8408]

If I'm spending this much coin, rather get the Allina b3 wagon for its exclusivity. Will never be able to afford it regardless.

[@saschaOK2309]

OK!

[@afrikengunner]

I think Paul just realise buying a Tesla was the wrong option

[@marley2319]

180k for something that will just be a rust lump in about 12years. Obviously, some people have more money than sense!!! my last BMW rusted from the inside out and I’d never have another because of that and the ridiculous price, and you’ve gotta pay more for safety features that come standard on most Korean cars now!

[@OzInfidel]

Maybe because you live close to the ocean? Not even a little rust can be found in my 17 YO Saab 9-3 (maybe just in the exhaust system) and they are not even on par with BMW in build quality.
