1996 BMW 320i Touring

Until the current model year, BMW’s “what if?” pantheon was generally reduced to a few paths. What if BMW had given us the full M treatment on the 7-Series and 8-Series models? What if Chris Bangle hadn’t taken the styling reins? And what if they made an M3 wagon? Well, the last finally came true, but today’s car somewhat answers the question several generations earlier. That’s because what started here as an unassuming German-market 1996 320i Touring has become something more with the addition of M3 Lightweight-style bodywork and graphics, along with some neat 1995-specification Style 22 wheels. Inside we’ve also got a little M treatment, with M Rain cloth covering the seats. While it hasn’t had the full drivetrain swap, this one looks like a winner:

To be honest, the result is a bit all show and no go, since the M52B20 was only rated at 148 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque; basically, not much more than the US-market 318i motor. That said, it’s got just about everything else except sport seats going for it. It’s a clean presentation, there are a lot of nice upgrades, and it just looks cool. Is it $27,500 cool? Well, I guess that depends on your preferences, as you can buy a real M3 for that amount almost any day of the week – from the E36 right through the E9x generation. Granted, most will probably need more work than this car and will be more expensive to run, but the clincher here is that one thing is shared in common with all the other M3s you could buy for this money – none would be a wagon.
