What if BMW put the E46 M3 Touring into production?

Finally, they hit the forums to look at the controversial car designs that actually aged surprisingly well. 🏎️ Sell your car on PistonHeads auctions: https://www.pistonheads.com/sell/auctions 🎟️ Get your Annual Service 2026 tickets: https://www.pistonheads.com/events/annual-service Chapters: 0:00 Intro 2:38 Petroyle M3 Touring 10:54 Best concepts that never made production 38:02 Premium seven seaters for £60k 53:11 Designs you once hated but now love TOPICS:  Petroyle BMW M3 E46 Touring: https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/petroyle-bmw-m3-touring-e46--uk-review/51256 [https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/petroyle-bmw-m3-touring-e46--uk-review/51256]  Seven seaters for £60k: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=255&t=2141150 [https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=255&t=2140415] Car designs you once hated but now love: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=2143140&i=0 [https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=2143140&i=0]  CARS: Sam’s Bentley Bentayga: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/20253335 [https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/20139454] Cam’s BMW X7: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/20235464 [https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/auction/20474735] FOLLOW US:  🗣 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pistonheads  📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pistonheads  🐦 X: https://twitter.com/pistonheads

Gumpert Apollo and Apollo IE review! Plus £22k used practical performance cars and the one that got away

We drive two of the wildest hypercars ever built: the original Gumpert Apollo and the outrageous Apollo Intensa Emozione. From GT1-inspired aero and twin-turbo V8 power to a naturally aspirated Ferrari-derived V12, we compare two very different takes on the Apollo name — and ask what other hypercars £3 million could buy. We also discuss life with the new Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake EV, tackle a practical performance car buying challenge, and share stories of the cars that got away.
