Right now, BMW only offers the new F30 sedan and the old coupe and cabrio in the 3-Series range in China. But that could change, as the automaker has filed a Patent to protect the shape of the 3-Series Touring, which could indicate the model is going to arrive there soon.
The new F31 3-Series Touring was unveiled a few months ago. It rides on the same platform as the sedan, uses the same engines and offers the same interior quality.

In Europe, the Touring comes with a split-folding rear seat arrangement and a powered tailgate on range-topping models. It also has a rear window that opens separately from the tailgate.

The 3-Series Touring has never been offered in China before, but we can tell you that compared to the model before it, ti’s wider, longer and offers 10% more cargo room. The engine range should be made up of the same four- and six-cylinder units as the sedan, which is built in China for the local market by Brilliance.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
