2024 BMW M3 Competition Touring

This 2024 BMW M3 Competition Touring pairs the G80 saloon's twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six with an estate body, which gives you 503 bhp and 649 lb-ft of torque in a car that can still carry a family and their luggage. Power goes through an eight-speed Steptronic automatic to M xDrive all-wheel drive. That setup is what makes the quoted 3.6-second 0-62 mph time possible.

This example has covered 9,998 miles and is finished in Skyscraper Grey over black Full Merino leather. The factory options include the Technology Plus Pack, Comfort Pack and Visibility Pack, which brings the laser headlights. Parking Assistant Plus adds a 360-degree camera system and a drive recorder, and there is a heated steering wheel. The car sits on forged bicolour black M Double Spoke wheels, 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear, in the style 826 design.

The M3 Touring is the first estate in the model's history, and it has become a modern performance benchmark for that reason. A car with this little use and this much factory equipment is a sensible way into the line-up.
