Rendered Speculation: BMW M3 Touring wagon by Jon Sibal
Click above to view more BMW M3 Touring renderings by Jon Sibal
Some of us live in the real world, while other spend time in Fantasyville. Jon Sibal falls into the latter, and we're happy for it. The talented illustrator had given us glimpses of upcoming supercars – including the Ferrari Scuderia Spider, Mercedes SLR Speedster (later revealed as the Stirling Moss edition) and Aston Martin One-77 – before the manufacturers have released official pictures. So what would Sibal drive himself? Well, needless to say, it doesn't exist (yet), but while you might think it'd be some fantastic derivative of an upcoming supercar, what Jon has picked out for himself is a BMW M3 Touring wagon.
The current-generation M3 is currently made in three bodystyles: the E90 sedan, E92 coupe and E93 convertible. If you were

I like these in general but those wheels are just too big. I don't mind so much that they are anthracite but that definitely loses a lot of the classy look of a BMW in my mind, of course, in general I feel that way about a lot of aftermarket parts that just make things look like sh*t. To each his own i suppose?

Listen, those fender vents (side vents) as BMW calls them, have been on M's for a while now. The companies that hopped on the bandwagon to make their vehicles look sporty in and around 2008 are not to be associated with M cars. Get your facts straight buddy. The M car side vents are not the same kind of side vents as found on a damned Escalade.

I would take it one step further and say that "fender-vents are so 1950s Buick"

Not to mention 87 Buick GNX and other vehicles. Frankly, bragging that your fav car company invented cutting a hole in the fender is a stretch anyhow.

An M3 Touring could possibly be the world's most perfect car. However, the nasty roof rails on this rendering need to go.

The guy who did the renders has obviously never driven on the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto. Good luck with zero ground-clearance buddy!

You said it buddy. THIS is how it's done. And in my opinion this is wayyy hotter.

Don't get me wrong, I love wagons, especially sporty. This, I don't like. There is just something about it.

That's one ugly gorilla of a face on a supposed "kid friendly" station wagon... BMW's gotta resort to scaring the little ones now :(

Perhaps they shouldn't have used the ugly sedan taillights, even if they do look better tinted.

I really like this. It looks like it means business and nothing else.
If Mercedes-Benz can make an AMG C-Class wagon, BMW can surely make an M3 wagon.
