BMW M3 Competition Touring

The M3 Competition Touring in xDrive form is BMW's most practical performance car — a full estate that hits 155 mph and dispatches 0-62 in 3.6 seconds. This 2024 example has covered just 11,025 miles, making it essentially unworn for a car that left the factory capable of embarrassing most dedicated sports cars. The S58 straight-six produces 503 bhp in Competition specification, and paired with the eight-speed Steptronic and M xDrive all-wheel drive, the Touring's extra length over the saloon is rendered largely irrelevant in terms of pace.

The options list on this car is thorough and well-chosen. The Ultimate Package adds laser headlights, keyless entry, and a Parking Assistant Plus with 360-degree camera. More tellingly, it was specced with the M Carbon Exterior Package and M Carbon Bucket Seats — the lightweight sports seats with memory function, which signals that the previous owner prioritised the driving experience. The 825 Bicolour Black forged wheels in the staggered 19/20-inch configuration reinforce that impression. Interior trim is Full Merino Bicolour Leather in Black-Silverstone, a combination that wears its performance intent without being austere.

At £73,995 with 11,025 miles, this sits comfortably below new-order pricing for the same build. The Drive Recorder is a practical addition worth noting, and the heated steering wheel rounds out a spec that covers most bases without resorting to options padding.
