Really appreciate how hard you drive the performance cars in your reviews Rory. That transparency on performance compared to practicality is both entertaining and helpful.
Rory you are the M3 touring of the vehicle reviews, you are the long awaited journalist of car reviews “to put it mild” as I watch the video with hope that it doesn’t end 😭
Rory is certainly going the extra mile with that tumble dryer. I see a new test category here, forget the banana box test. The window on the boot is probably the greatest feature on any BMW, loved it on my 5-series!
Pure Top Gear vibes (not just because it’s filmed at the track) and I love it. I’m a sucker for an RS4, so that’s always me preferred fast wagon, but BMW lovers can be very very happy with this. Just wished it looked less like a box on wheels side on.
Rory, it's a pleasure to see a black journalist giving quality reviews from a major Auto Magazine. It's been a long time coming, and we're proud to see your success. Keep up the great work!
The ultimate M3 review. Great job Rory, you and Matt Watson are my favorite car presenters! And about the car, yeah, I dream of owning this someday! If you would make me choose between Bugatti Chirron and M3 I would choose Bugatti, I would sell it buy an M3 touring and live happily ever after with the rest of the money...
Before Rory got to “I love this car” at 10:10, I could hear him say it just by looking at his grin when he was drifting… 😂😂😂😂😂 I loved that video!!!! We need more of Rory having fun in cars!!!
I really appreciate how you went into the practical downsides! Too many car reviewers make it out to be all fun and games. Amazing performance but definitely the kind of car only those who can afford double the MSRP should consider.
Most car reviewers know their audience: Most people watch fun, but impractical or to expensive cars online, but buy boring and practical cars instead, as I sure would, if I got the money. That also the success of Top Gear explained, which were certainly more a comedy show than actual serious review of cars, and also today both Carwow and Throttle House.
Such a great host Mr. Reid . Also a hardworking team in general. It would be a honor to spend 2weeks learning under the AutoTrader team on becoming a great car journalist for the viewers. Another wonderful video. Great shots AutoTrader team!
Bmw’s x drive is the all wheel drive system for car enthusiasts. When you want it to be normal AWD it does that but it doesn’t disappoint you for drifts as you switch to RWD and it becomes an animal and then back to normal on your way home
Used to think I love the Saloon more than the coupè, my God, now I have a new Touring I love more than the Saloon. Great job BMW, Great review Rory. Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
When you hit that curb and the suspension bounced something tingled ... 🤔 That corner looks oddly like a corner from the Top Gear Test track circa 2007- 2017 👀
5:30 Thank you for pointing out how stupid the seats are. I went to the local launch event, and everyone agreed - the seats suck. Total deal breaker. Of course, when I've tried to highlight their shortcomings in other YT video comments, I've been lambasted by fan boys who've probably never owned, or even sat in, a moving M car...
Brilliant Rory - fab review as always - love seeing people excel at what they’re good at and you have really excelled as a motoring journalist - well done
I didn't realize I was grinning until my girlfriend asked what it was that had me looking like that for so long 🤣🤣. Well done Rory on such an "electrifying" review.
If BMW brings this to the states I'd definitely buy one. Look at the RS6 Avant and E63 AMG wagon, all of them are incredibly sought after. Make it happen Bimmer.
@@jackn2683 makes sense, yeah. Still, he mentioned one of those is 90kgs later on in the video, not sure if he was referring to the one in the trunk in particular, or just in principle
Rory is interesting, lively, intelligent and humorous: the perfect blend of characteristics for an Automotive Journalist.
@@royed31 ONLY Rory can pull it off. (But yes, it's hideous)
Basically the opposite of that carwow dude
why don't you marry him?
Or just any all-round-nice human being ;)
Yes, but he is an EV lover. Trying to push us into electric

Rory is an unbelievably good automotive journalist! And the video was good as always!
Did Rory just pull a Ken Block at 07:38 of the video. Absolutely best review of the M3 Touring so far
The drift near the tyres was epic!

I always hated car shows. I never saw anything in this genre.
Then I got to this channel. A joy!

RS6 just beaten by M3 on CarWow
@@mtumaszyeah it beat the rs6 in every category
Yeah it's definitely faster than an RS6 so we are very happy
@@mtumasz false horsepower 😂😂
@@mtumaszup M3 has more hp than it’s official claim and it’s lighter too, while RS6 has less hp and heavier than official claim

I've BEEN waiting for THIS review...Thanks Rory + AutoTrader 🇿🇦
Shoutout to all my brothers that’ll be able to sell this as a family car to their wives
Nice to see the Top Gear track
Same car that was use in the TG video.
The do-it-all car we've all been waiting for.
And only £80,000! I'll take 2.
All? I don’t need corrective lenses so I’ll take some from the other Germans please.
And the US doesn’t get it 😢
Not if you´ve owned an audi rs4 for the past 24 years...
*Audi RS Avants have entered the chat*
Love a Rory review. Well put together, fun and informative. What a jumper tho! lol
Epic video guys 🙌
😘 cheers Joe
Fantastic! Can’t beat a super fast estate. Rory bringing the style as well as the substance 😄
Everyone has their own view on the front grill, but i think it looks amazing for this M3. Perfect family hauler sports car.
Great review Rory
M3 and Rory... Perfect!
I hate how the states don’t get awesome cars like this.

This is of of the top 3 reviewer on TH-cam. Great job mate 👍
I’ve just discovered these Auto Trader Rory videos and I’ve been binge watching them all, quality stuff I have to say 🚙 💨
1:41 "What's that other car? Kinda looks like a box. How fast can that thing go compared to the Touring?" lol
Great review Rory. I hope BMW makes the next M3 Touring available for North America. It checks all of the boxes for me.
Rory’s reviews are the only ones that I watch. He’s the best👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I can't wait to watch M5 estate review.
Best review yet of the M3 Touring?
I've definitely enjoyed this one the most! ✌
Its always lovely to see you on Dunsfold!❤
The M3 looks so angry. Love the looks. And the engineering is top notch as expected
Dang, Rory! You drove it like a maniac, which is just like most of BMW drivers are, lol
Absolutely love it!

What a review - thanks Rory. Never disappoint
Good luck parking it in the UK. For us the ideal dimensions were the estates 20 years ago. The roads haven’t gotten any bigger (usually smaller)
I've to say, Rory, your chassis is as strong as the M3 by lifting the washing machine like that. 💪🏼
Living vicariously through Rory !!! What a machine that is
it truly is perfect
Brilliant Rory - fab review as always - love seeing people excel at what they’re good at and you have really excelled as a motoring journalist - well done
Rory is just amazing! kudos to the filmers for capturing another classic car review ! Rory you're the best!
I agree with Rory,the grill look aggressive and really suits the estate 👌
Dear BMW USA. We need this car in the US. Please.
I didn't realize I was grinning until my girlfriend asked what it was that had me looking like that for so long 🤣🤣. Well done Rory on such an "electrifying" review.
Wow, this review is absolutely mind-blowing!
As I’ve said in every single M3 touring video, this is all the car you’d ever need
As long as you can afford the fuel lol
Wrist game is on point Rory, nice one mate
Rory another cracking review
Rory throwing a tumble dryer into M3 touring. That review is already legendary.
Exactly. Everything about this car is INSANELY beautiful. All in under one hood those seats are better with normal seats IMO.
I enjoyed this very much! Solid & informative review Rory keep it up my man
this video made me smile and watch it to the end thank you
Man, you were doing some KEN BLOCK stuff!! love it!!
Excellent video for one more time Rory, many thanks!
But this is a funny looking car with this front grill 😂
6:55 has it got line lock or something? How are you doing a burnout if it’s all wheel drive?
You all are so lucky…BMW please bring this machine to the US and take my money💯😭🤯
If BMW brings this to the states I'd definitely buy one. Look at the RS6 Avant and E63 AMG wagon, all of them are incredibly sought after. Make it happen Bimmer.
That would be the M5 estate then
M5 touring coming 👀
They confirm it’s coming to the states @mtkarusty
Thanks for the amazing review. Amazing car as well. Out of my price range but would love to own.
Excellent driving skills for a car's journalist, Rory! I always wondered if ever attended BMW driving school 🤔, keep up the good work 👍
Best thing Auto Trader did was to bring Rory on board.
Gr8 video....the color and practicality is a major Win
7:22 nice reflexes Rory! like a SpiderMan :D
Rory is the best car reviewer out there!!!
LOL hilarious...dryer in the back with no 3 pin plug, "How's he going to use it?" Great review.
The Honda E has a 1.5kW 3 pin plug so you could run a tumble dryer inside of a Honda E, if you could find some way of getting it through the doors.
Nice video Rory, enjoyed that 😎👍🏼
My choice, funds permitting, would be an Alpina B3 Touring...🖤💛❤️
4:08 honestly I was expecting a sort of a blooper or sth, but boy did Rory lift this washing machine by himself - what a beast of a man!
It’s a tumble dryer so does not have the weight of a washing machine.
@@jackn2683 makes sense, yeah. Still, he mentioned one of those is 90kgs later on in the video, not sure if he was referring to the one in the trunk in particular, or just in principle
Excellent video as always. I wonder how many BMW owners would be better off with Alpina's comfort at speed logic instead of hard core M Sport.
Rory saving auto trader single handedly
@7:38 🤏🤠👍..nice driving my friend!
I've never heard "Bumcrack" in a car review before. 05:40
Respect.
I loved that grill right from the very beginning. Epic indeed
At least the girth of the steering wheel, isn't an issue! The knobs aren't an issue either, just the seats this time. What a car!
Rarely comment on youtube videos. But absolutely amazing review of an amazing car.
Great review Rory - sad that it'll be awhile before I even see one...being in the US. Picked up my i4 M50 two weeks ago. Enjoying it so far.
i cant daily my g82 its too stiff. Sometimes i have to check if im in comfort mode. Thank god i have a real daily
You videographer team kills mate massive applause.
My back went just by watching Rory put that machine in the boot!!
The smile on your face explains everything
@1:42 you know its a good one whn the props come out..
This was better than Top Gear.
Yes a bmw m3 touring that’s my favorite type of car
Absolute beast Job Well done BMW 🔥
This M3 and no date sub go hand in hand. Car looks great.
I've been waiting for Rory's review of this car. I've watched many others but I still wanted to watch Rory's. Now let me grab me some popcorn 🍿
I'd still take an Alpina B3 Touring over the M3 Touring, especially for road rather than track use.
Rory does it again. Amazing review for a car we won't get stateside. So jealous.
love Rory's humor! Great review
