BMW shows new teaser video of its much-anticipated M3 Touring and story behind the icon

Another BMW we can't wait to see is the first-ever production M3 Touring. The German carmaker released footage of the rear of the performance station wagon for the first time, Briefly News reports.

The Touring is the combination of M specific high performance, an increase in available interior space and the intelligent functionality of a Touring model, making the M3 G81 a very special vehicle.

The high-performance station wagon will use the same 3,0-litre twin-turbo engine in the M3 and M4 that produces 375kW. It's likely that the carmaker's xDrive all-wheel-drive setup will be used, along with the eight-speed automatic gearbox.
