This what I have said on main thread, Audi have the RS A4 Avant, Mercedes have the C63 Estate.

It would fit in with their M line up, saloon, coupe, vert, SUV.

As much as I'd like to see this (and believe me, I really would!) to me this seems unlikely.

1) the source is a Slovenian magazine. How would a Slovenian magazine get such a scoop? If it was a respected German magazine or UK would I'd believe it more.

2) if they are getting ready for a September launch at Frankfurt, wouldn't we have seen disguised models out on the roads and test tracks already putting the testing miles/kilometres in?

Please please let it be true. They aren't doing another M5 tourer (this generation) so an M3 touring would be the ultimate do it all car for me.

Why don't they do a M4 GC? They do the M6 GC.

An M4 Touring would attract my attention too. BMW have a huge range in their series now; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, X, M, what harm would it do to squeeze another in? Seems like it'd sell judging by the interest on here.

It wouldn't be an M4 touring, touring is 3 series.

I imagine they feel hairdressers don't really need a hatchback (GC).

Can't see anything compelling that makes me think it's an M3, like flared arches or quad exhaust.

Could have just been the LCI undergoing testing?

Yeah same.

That and seems to be a bit low on exhausts.

They have said the next generation 3 is due around 2018 though.

Soooo initial prototypes now and then say year or so dev work...
