A few days ago BMW showed off a few
of its M3 concepts
in celebration of 30 years of the model. One of the cars we longed for to make production was the E46 M3 Touring and photos revealed everything we dreamed it would be. Now, one PHer is embarking on his own M3 Touring project.
Starting with a Silver Grey 320d estate, E91 M3's plan is to replicate the concept using - of course - the S54 straight six and the six-speed manual instead of the SMG. His car will have CSL replica wheels rather than the 18s of BMW's Touring, but it still sounds like quite the project. Having acquired an M3 bonnet and rear bumper, he is on the lookout for quarter panels and a boot floor before embarking on the bodywork phase of the build.
Being quite the glutton for punishment, our OP is also building an E91 M3 Touring which will definitely make for an interesting two-car garage - we are looking forward to seeing both finished! So congratulations E91 M3, your E46 M3 Touring project is our Reader's Car of the Week.
