I absolutely love a estate. To be there better looking than SUVs and have a classy yet functional design. Really like the styling on this new 3er touring. I hope they with this the M340i powertrain.
I have f31 335d touring, 4 years from new, love it, best car I’ve ever owned, practical, joy to drive, 4 wheel drive and fast 4.8s 0-60. I like the new model but there isn’t enough of a step change for me to upgrade
Another good review Thomas, I look forward to the PHEV review and its luggage capacity. Sadly its range is only 372 miles for the UK variant. Thank you for accommodating your English speaking audience!

I'm glad that you described the colour correctly as Dravit Grey not David Grey as mentioned recently when showing an 8 Series. This is a fabulous car and a great drive.
This model is stunning. What an absolute shame they have decided to end North American sales of the 3 series wagon. I would say that this is the best looking design of any BMW wagon to date. I have owned more than 20 new BMW models, most of which I ordered from the factory. I would have purchased one of this with no hesitation, but unfortunately in the United States, I will not have this option. It is my opinion that they would have sold more wagons here if they offered the high performance M Performance model - previously the 335 and now the 340. I know that people here in the US are in love with their SUV's, I have owned 8 different X5 models myself. I would say that a sporty wagon is a great alternative to the 3 series sedan - offering more dynamic driving. I am afraid I will never have the option to own this car unless I move to Europe or wait 25 years.
I would gladly take one of these in the USA, and know several people in the PNW that would as well. I would have to think long and hard between 330e and M340i, but I think it would have to be an M340i just for something that feels just a little special. I do wish that BMW would offer the Bowers & Wilkins audio upgrade in the 3 series range though, to take on the Bang & Olufsen options in the Volvo V60 and Audi A4 Avant.
I wish the touring was more popular here in the US. Nice car but too bad about the small back seat. First time to this channel. Subscribing based on the quality of this video. Nice review!
I love that you can put the net and cover in the storage compartment now. OCD me wants this car... fingers crossed it is coming to Canada, I love my F31.
As far as I know, the US didn't buy that many, but here in Canada we do buy them! In fact, my friend has a 2017 328d Xdrive, and the touring is much more popular than you'd think. (Although nowhere near as much in Europe). I think that Canada ought to get the 3 series Touring because Mercedes sells the C Class wagon here, while they don't in the US, and we do statistically buy more wagons.
2020 almost and the satnav displays still slow to respond. Bit dissapointing. This feels for me BMW are trying to cut down on costs - so it a premium car then or a budget? Btw not huge fan of big LCD displays anyway. Physical instruments are far closer to my taste. Lucky there’s still an option. Would buy but need to see the more analog option as they at least real time.
Wow. Pleasantly surprised at the design and utility of this estate aka wagon. I really like the glass hatch window. That'd be perfect for quick access or reaching into a tall cooler when camping.
There was a time when digital speedo/dials in cars were considered extremely tacky and toy like,now manufacturers seem obsessed. Are we going forwards or backwards?
We have a G20 Sedan but I'd trade it in for a Wagon in a heartbeat if it were possible. G series is a really nice platform and although it doesn't appear it, I have to say its a nice step up from the F series we had before. Its more solid, drives better and looks better too.
I currently own a 328d Touring in Canada and yes i would be looking to replace it with a G21. But 1st Bmw pull out the diesel and now the Touring so i guess i will keep it instead.
Another excellent video from Thomas and Autogefühl. The G21 is too similar to my year old M-Sport F31. The interior is a more modern and fresh. I’m still unsure about those rear lights. I would be interested to see one in the metal, the new wider rear dimensions sound interesting. The touring makes this 3er look more BMW than the saloon version which looks too Audi-ish.
Hi Thomas, another great review! Please, can you tell me where it will be made? I understand the sedan will be made in Mexico. I do wish BMW would sell it here in the USA.
Why touring version is so popular? I didn’t expect this because for it it looks kinda unusual because it looks like a short suv or sedan with a back shell, tell me everyone! Why?!
Hmm.. I really liked the E91 and F31 rears, not sure why BMW would drop the Hofmeister. Seems BMW is determined to stop being cool and become like other brands..
I heard BMW engines have plastic radiators and plastic water pumps and coolant pumps. Can anyone comment on the durability of 2018 2019 engines being produced?
Great review as always Thomas. Now, please can BMW (or anyone!), make a car of this design and build quality but using the drive train from the Tesla Model 3. That is something I would buy! This 3 series looks really nice, and a few years ago I would have thought "fantastic!" but it's time to say goodbye to ICE and interiors covered in dead animal skin.
I want a touring/station wagon 3 Series in the US! I would pay a lot more for it. Can't they just sell me one individually as I always custom order my 3 Series?
Cheers! If you take a look at our driving parts of the reviews, you see that we of course have clip-on microphones. However there are several good reasons to use the handheld microphone very often, we do that intentionally. See more details here: th-cam.com/video/q8mbwezd_VY/w-d-xo.html
It's a whopping 60cm longer than the BMW 1600 Touring my father had. Those 60 centimeters surely didn't grew the leg room in the rear seat by much 😂. It's actually a few millimeters longer than the top of line BMW 3.0Si (E3) of the 70s!
Great review, except for the music in between that is totally different to the calm and classy tone of the review. Classic music would have been better. What a picky comment huh?! :)
The paint looks surreal, like an advertisement render picture. Or like 10 people cleaned it with microfiber cloths for hours right before this video. In a positive way.
Love this new BMW, I had a 2008 E90 model, for over 3 years, then the economic crises hit and had to sell it, upkeep was becoming a problem. Wanted to return to the brand but I don't like the F30 generation, looks ugly, but the new generation has the looks and hopefully will drive like the E90, had a 3 L diesel engine, the 197 HP model ... :D
We want M 3.40İ xdrive and M 3.20i xdrive & 320d xdrive version of it. Not just in Germany, all over the world. Especially M 3.40İ xdrive with real (M4 bumpers, wheels, side skirts, grill, mirrors etc.) M exterior parts. Looks way better than sedans. I wonder, would that be possible to comfortably t 2 Adult rottweilers in the trunk of the touring?!

It may be odd to say this, but the touring of the 3 series looks better to me than the sedan.
Looks better to me too, theres just also something really cozy about going on long trips on a Touring.
Touring is best😛
Now BMW you've done a good job on the front and rear
As for the new 1 series it's a NO for me
I absolutely love a estate. To be there better looking than SUVs and have a classy yet functional design. Really like the styling on this new 3er touring. I hope they with this the M340i powertrain.
I wouldnt agree that estates look better than SUVs. This BMW is an exception, not a rule. Many estate cars look like a sedan with glued boxy rear end.
The estate wagons are about as rare as a 911 GT3 here in the USA. I think the estates are very nice, thanks, Thomas!!
I have f31 335d touring, 4 years from new, love it, best car I’ve ever owned, practical, joy to drive, 4 wheel drive and fast 4.8s 0-60. I like the new model but there isn’t enough of a step change for me to upgrade
Most refreshing to see Thomas as #1 in your TH-cam feed.
Thank you for reviewing this new 3series touring. Always a pleasure to see Thomas presenting!autogefül, keep up the good work!
Thanks 🙏
Many cars look worse in the estate form but this one only looks better!
What about the Audi A4 (not the revised one)
Many cars look better in estate
Xanthuum Nihyr like Prius 😂🤣😂🤣
SOLO Rent a Car EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS!
@@Alex-bz7re Does the prius even exist in estate xD ?
This one is right here, almost pure perfection.
The estates/touring/wagons always look great from germany. Please bring them back!
Not Mercedes wagons of 2000s. Those had terrible proportioned rear-ends
Love your channel. Best quality ever. Thank you Thomas and team!
Thanks please recommend:)
I like the reviews of this guy. Thanks for the efforts.
Those hatch hinges without visible gas springs... haven't seen it that clean before on any estate.
Another good review Thomas, I look forward to the PHEV review and its luggage capacity. Sadly its range is only 372 miles for the UK variant. Thank you for accommodating your English speaking audience!
Cheers! We will soon test drive the touring and also Phev version, but that of the Sedan first

Your dressing sense is spot on!
It's a beautiful well designed car. Unlike the new ugly 1 series.
Always good reviews, thanks. I'd like to know if you find the touring noisier than the sedan. Will you have both for an A-B comparison?
Cheers! I am pretty sure that won’t make a big difference
Thomas und die Videoqualität = Zucker

Dear BMW, Please bring this to the US!
Nö, Merkel Embargo.
BMW bring the 3 Series xi Touring to the USA 🇺🇸! While you're at it please make an M3 M xDrive Touring version!
I really like it! Think it’s classy and sporty at the same time, much better then the out going vehicle
Another great review Thomas, keep up the good work!
Another Thomas video! It is a great day!!!
Not only would I like to see 3 series touring in the us. I’d 100% buy a 1 series hatch. Californian here
Oh, you mean that front-wheel drive mini MPV?
@@dwergmaster fwd isnt inherently bad. I would prefer xdrive tho

Very cosmetic changes from outside but looks completly refreshed, nice cersion with acceleration 4,4sec.
I love that you can put the net and cover in the storage compartment now. OCD me wants this car... fingers crossed it is coming to Canada, I love my F31.
What a beautiful car. I wish they made M3 touring.
Check out M340i when it comes in touring. Or perhaps an Alpina. =)
How come you guys are always the 1st to show us new BMW’s in person? Do you guys live in Munich?
Hehe no but we are having a great effort to show u that :)
Best car reviewer
Thanks 🙏
Thomas, what car do you own/drive?
I would of guessed an XE

YasumotoUS honestly i see this as the perfect addition when having a dog. It can get plenty of fresh air
Is the intro song “Baby Shark (Autogefühl Edition)”?
Love the 3-series Touring but I'm not feeling the new rear lights BMW introduced throughout their product line.
I have 2018 touring in diesel and love it.
Thank you so much Thomas. Looks like another best in class if going by design as primary subjective opinion here!
cheers m8 !

Looks much better than sedan...
Hi Thomas, another great review! Please, can you tell me where it will be made? I understand the sedan will be made in Mexico. I do wish BMW would sell it here in the USA.
Yes for US market in Mexico. They wont sell the wagon in the US
This studio is gorgeous... Is this something BMW provided you??
Yap
I dont know why but the back and side of this 3 series estate reminds me the Volvo v60
Yea I got the same impression.
Maybe it’s because you’re blind?
@@starwars007oele what?!
I think that the side profile on the rear very much looks like a volvo v60.
How is the standard capacity of the trunk measured? If the touring has a higher roof at the back, how is the capacity similar to the sedan?
Capacity is always measured below trunk cover, therefore deceiving
Nice review. Not a huge BMW fan. Overkill on lightstrips inside i think. Still find the 3.0 CSI the best looking car they've ever made.
I have now seen 3 different reviews of this BMW.
Why don't we see cover in the trunk? - and how it works?
Sport Wagons
The autobahn rulers lmao
Really good review, thank you!
Your reviews are excellent
Feel free to recommend 🤗
Great review! It looks sick!
Why touring version is so popular? I didn’t expect this because for it it looks kinda unusual because it looks like a short suv or sedan with a back shell, tell me everyone! Why?!
I didn't buy the 3 Series b/c there's no Touring here in the USA. I want the G21!!
Love this combo ;) Will it be available in M3 version ? Can't wait for the road test !!!
No m3 for touring
Superb review
Nice review :) What is the exact name of the interior wood?
I need this M3 version
Hmm.. I really liked the E91 and F31 rears, not sure why BMW would drop the Hofmeister. Seems BMW is determined to stop being cool and become like other brands..
good job BMW but why are the rear place so tiny? will they make a new series 3 gt
hopefully not lol
Sad it is not coming to the states
ich freu mich schon auf dein ausführliches video von diesem car.
Kommt bald schon :)
İ like very much, but i did not understand why hood is not insulated. Thank you Thomas.
Thanks 🙏
Intro music is definitely Baby Shark.
Nice review. Unfortunately, we won't be getting it in the USA.
The rear has a Skoda Superb vibe while the profile rear quarter panel has a new Focus wagon vibe. The whole package looks ok though.
Thomas killing it as usual
😎
Is it like a SUV but lower height?
"huge middle tunnel for potentional all wheel drive" uhmm isn't that because the car is rear wheel drive standard?
Yep that was a little unclear
I heard BMW engines have plastic radiators and plastic water pumps and coolant pumps. Can anyone comment on the durability of 2018 2019 engines being produced?

Not possible imho
have always had 5 series tourings and never considered a 3 series. I think now may be the time
That is one good looking estate car / station wagon!
Great video thanks, maybe time for a hands free microphone?

When is Semir Gerkhan getting one of these?
He's probably going to get the salon and not the estate
@@stormdancer1910 Well, of course. It was a general question.
I love to see estates/touring/wagons, but can you not get a manual with the 340 then? Ridiculous :(
BMW bring the 3 Series xi Touring to the USA 🇺🇸! While you're at it please make an M3 M xDrive Touring version!
To a third world country like the US? :-)
Can someone explain to me why these luxury high spec cars still have fat bezels around the screens?
It's a whopping 60cm longer than the BMW 1600 Touring my father had. Those 60 centimeters surely didn't grew the leg room in the rear seat by much 😂. It's actually a few millimeters longer than the top of line BMW 3.0Si (E3) of the 70s!
most of the room went to the crash Protection which is pretty nice when you look at old crash test videos
Just beautiful. Good job BMW.

no problem =)
Thanks for your introduction. It’s good job . It’s good reference M.Benz and BMW for whole world customers ( include Asia) .
