BMW M3 Competition Touring Price Announced For South Africa

The BMW M3 Competition Touring is confirmed for South Africa and we’ve uncovered pricing for this halo product.

Confirmed! The BMW M3 Competition Touring is coming to South Africa in 2024. Generally, station wagons aren’t the most popular in South Africa, with just a handful of enthusiasts showing love for things like the Audi RS4/RS6 and Subaru Outback. The meteoric rise of the SUV has all but killed the love for the humble station wagon…

However, BMW has tried to buck the trend and built the M3 Touring and when it was revealed, we were the first to admit we thought it was highly unlikely this model was going to touch down locally. Understandably so, you’d think the Munich-based brand has all the bases covered with M3 sedan, M4 coupe and X3 M / X4 M SUVs. However, good news as the BMW M3 Competition Touring is coming to South Africa!

A source close to BMW SA has shared some important details about the new BMW M3 Competition Touring with us. From our understanding and documents we’ve seen, we’ll be getting the Competition xDrive derivative which has a 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder petrol engine and it makes 390 kW and 650 Nm. The vehicle features all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. BMW claims its Touring can sprint to 100 kph in just 3.6 seconds and it will run to a top speed of 280 kph, thanks to the M Drivers Package being included.

Customers will be able to add the M Carbon Exterior Package and M Race Track Package (carbon bucket seats, carbon ceramic brakes) as optional extras. As far as colours are concerned, there will be 9 standard colours, with 5 BMW Individual colour options to choose from. There are also four wheel designs, all of which are 19-inch (front) and 20-inch (rear) in size.

So, if you want one of these highly desirable cars, what’s your next step? We understand that stocks are limited this year, with customer allocation and orders taking place in May 2024, with production taking place in July 2024. The customer deliveries start from October 2024, which we suspect will likely coincide with the BMW flagship event, M-Fest. Don’t stress if you miss the first batch as we’ve been told more units will land in SA in 2025.
