A Touring version of the M3 is out of the question, but maybe the Bavarians will see fit to expand the M3 range into new bodies besides the sedan, coupe and convertible.
Last week, BMW revealed the M4 Coupe as a concept at the Quail in Pebble Beach, California. Based on that car, Theophilus Chin has rendered an M3 Gran Turismo, which looks interesting, if only a bit awkward.
Flared wheel arches, carbon brakes with gold calipers, bigger alloys and a quad exhaust system have all been added. Of course, the heart of this car would be the 420 hp multi-turbo straight-six engine.
But the question remains: would people actually buy a 420 hp hatchback? Not really, not when you consider the 3 Series Gran Turismo was built with extra legroom in the back and a trunk that's bigger than Turing. It's a company car, not a fire-breathing monster to impress your mates with.
From the start, the 3er GT was set up with a taller suspension and a softer setup, which makes it handle a bit like a mini SUV. It's hard to believe BMW will ever make a hardcore version of the softest car in this range.
