The M3 wagon is already pretty great - how about with 700hp?
is already a very, very good fast estate as it comes from BMW. Given its broad remit - be an M car, and be an estate car - you couldn’t really ask for more from the factory. But then the aftermarket would look a whole lot less interesting were it not for people demanding more than the OEM standard. Not least when it comes to cars with a BMW turbo six in them; Iain Litchfield says his company currently modifies one or two B58/S55/S58 powered cars a day , because the 3.
Because you're going to want to the wheels - look at it. There aren’t many cars that wouldn't benefit from a suspension drop and some fresh alloys, but swapping out BMW’s fussy standard rims for a set of lighter HREs and reducing the gap between arch and tyre really gives the M3 a moody, broad-shouldered stance that the hardly-shy-and-retiring regular one can’t match.
Rest assured, though, 700hp is definitely there when you go looking for it. Any current variant of M3 is a really fast car; this one is unrelentingly, obscenely, jaw-droppingly rapid, accelerating in fifth gear with the kind of vigour most things can’t muster in third. There’s just no let-up whatsoever, just a torrent of acceleration that only abates when you call time.
It's hardly like more power than an SL Black Series overwhelms the Litchfield M3, either, making the case for a wider spend of the upgrade budget. The standard xDrive can contain the performance, maybe just taxing the chassis a little more than standard out of corners as that almighty wallop reaches the road.
