BMW M3 Touring 24H Joins Nürburgring Endurance Battle as Bold Wagon Debut
BMW is entering a wagon-version of its GT3-based M3 for the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, debuting the M3 Touring 24H in the SPX class with a higher rear wing and GT3-style chassis. Driven by Jens Klingmann, Ugo de Wilde, Connor De Phillippi, and Neil Verhagen, the project grew from an April Fool's joke into an official program, with the highlight the Nürburgring 24H race in May. The entry underscores the endearing evolution of the family station wagon into a high-speed endurance contender, joining a legacy of racing wagons like the Volvo 850 Estate in BTCC.
