BMW readies optional M Performance Parts for M3 wagon

By CARSIFU | 25 July 2022


MUNICH: After announcing the first ever M3 Touring, BMW is now ready to make buyers of this sports wagon spent even more money as it follows the script with M Performance parts for its line-up.

The custom parts will be available for sale at the same time as the wagon in November.

BMW has put together a broad selection of M Performance exterior components.

All of the carbon-fibre components are made from CFRP (carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic) with a clear coat finish.

The M Performance front splitter carbon fibre and the M Performance flics carbon fibre create a front-end appearance inspired by DTM touring car racers.

The M Performance air breathers carbon fibre and M exterior mirror caps, both hand-crafted from CFRP, bring fresh head-turning elements to the side view.

And the M Performance rear winglets carbon fibre, M Performance rear diffuser carbon fibre and M Performance roof spoiler showcase the prominent rear end.

The titanium M Performance exhaust system underscores the extrovert sporting presence of the M3 Touring with a central quartet of exhaust tailpipes.

The rear silencer and sporty tailpipe trim module – both all-titanium – boldly accentuate the soundtrack of the six-cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology. The silencer is around 30 per cent lighter than the standard item.

There's also the height-adjustable M Performance sport suspension for sale. By lowering the coilover system – and therefore the car’s centre of gravity – and reducing rolling movements, it enables higher cornering speeds. The M Performance sport brake pads at the front and rear wheels are said to be effective on the road as well as on the track.

The M Performance forged wheels achieve the highest quality standards for an extremely sporty driving style, blend effortlessly into the car’s overall design and are fitted with sport tyres offering optimal grip.

Each wheel is sculpted from a single piece of aluminium and machined with great precision, and the rim base is rolled out using a flow-forming process.

BMW said the wheels are durable and would ensure top-end stability.

The Y-spoke M Performance forged wheels in Jet Black matt have an intense racing-car character. They are 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear, and all have central locks.

Rounding off the selection are the M Performance forged wheels in cross-spoke design (front: 20-inch, rear: 21-inch). These can be ordered either in Jet Black matt or – for additional uniqueness – Frozen Gold Bronze.

BMW hasn't left out the cabin.

Carbon-fibre and Alcantara elements bring the motor sport DNA of BMW M into the interior. The M Performance interior trim panels in open-pore, matt-coated carbon fibre combine with two large knee pads with Alcantara surfaces, which optimise support for the driver under hard cornering.

The M Performance backrest covers imbue the driver’s and front passenger seats with high-grade racing-car aura. The carbon-fibre head restraint trims have enhanced visual appeal courtesy of a polyurethane lacquer finish and are high-gloss polished, while the rest of the rear panel is trimmed in Alcantara with an integrated aluminium M Performance badge.

The M Performance centre armrest in Alcantara adds an extra flourish with its decorative stitching in BMW M GmbH colours and M Performance badging.

The new M Performance logos for the LED door projectors signal a passion for motor racing and sense of tradition. And customers can now also specify their cars with the “50 Jahre BMW M” motif marking the 50-year anniversary of BMW M.
