M3 goes touring with V10 power

[Shake&Bake]

From Wheels24 and some e-mail I received

BMW’s M3 range. For many, especially in four-door configuration, it’s the quintessential premium compact executive performance car.

Problem is though, when your life has spiralled out of control and there are two offspring and the dutiful family pet to transport, even the M3 sedan’s apparently boundless practicality is found, well, wanting.

Enter Manhart racing, a German tuning concern based in Geilenkirchen and renowned for its curious ability in transposing BMW’s V10 engines into 3 Series engine bays.

What the boys from Manhart racing have done is create possibly the world’s most desirable compact executive performance station wagon.

Monumental performance, as expected

Manhart claims on a quality traction surface 0-100km/h times of around 4.3 seconds are achievable, whilst top speed (derestricted) is 324km/h.

Essentially then, if you live in Nelspruit and would like to take your Labrador for a walk on Maputo’s Marginal each evening after work with the family, well, with the Manhart M3 touring this would be entirely doable…

Mkay, so who is going to get one then?
And I call shotgun on roadtrip
