Better looking than the saloon/M4 IMO. Still not a fan of the front but the rest is spot on (especially in the metallic green)

Nice. For me, the Touring manages the controversial grill better, even the M3 has grown on me, still can’t get on with the M4.

Looks ok apart from the front, and the seats

The bangle 7 series was known as the ugliest thing ever, now they look ok. I think the new bmw fronts will become liked.

The M3 touring is one of the best looking BMs for a while Imo.

Best looking of the M3/4. Still not a fan of the grilles, but they’re somehow less offensive on the touring.

That does look well. It could do with some wheel spacers though!

Yup. My first thought was "where are the rear wheels?" Bit pointless to butch up the bodywork and then have the wheels look lost.

They do look a bit tucked in, don’t they.

Funny enough, I saw one out in the wild today for the first time as well. The grill is still minging and the poor job of trying to make standard does work with the wide rear arches grates even more the the grill, but it was in a lovely blue colour.

I'd have one of these in a heartbeat, I really would, I could even forgive the grille. It DOES irk me though that the M4 has the 4-series grille, fine, understandable - but they missed a trick by NOT putting the 3-series grill (or a suitably M-version of one) on the M3 and now this - why the 'mix and match' between non-M and M on the 3?

Recognised the showroom and they offered me it last week, but I’m looking for a saloon
