It seems that BMW are pondering at the idea of making a BMW M3 estate.
As always, this sort of “news” isn’t exactly full of detail so there’s a lot of room for your imagination to go wild.
So, going past the machine gun rack holding capability of the back, the possible BMW M3 wagon has a few things to say.

First of all, even though this is no more than a rumor, it already gives us a headache. An eventual BMW M3 in estate form would likely be called a “Touring” as is customary for BMW.
Even though we’d like to see this car take a cue from the bigger brother, the BMW M5 Touring, there’s also quite a chance this car would be called the BMW M3 Sportwagon.
There’s a lot of speculation on it and it’s mostly because ever since the E90 lineup of the BMW 3 Series came about, the Germans were considering an estate version of the M3.
Word out there is that BMW even built a test prototype of the M3 estate. So why the rumor of it coming to life?

That’s mostly because the opposition from Cadillac, Mercedes and Audi already have a hot “small” high-performance estate to shout about.
