Probably the best car they never built! I'd buy one tomorrow if there was such a thing, to replace my SB 330 touring as a daily. What a missed opportunity!:bigcry:Originally posted by mattCSLnut View Post+1 :thumbs: but with a touch of CSL magic :smt055 C.F. Airbox, 19 CSL CUP wheels and a C.F. Touring roof :drool:

I have to disagree; I bet they would have sold enough to justify putting an E46 M3 Touring into production. Audi have certainly had no issues in selling a 'reasonable' amount of RS4 Avants in their differing guises over the years.Originally posted by Straightsix View PostThe E46 M3 Touring let alone E46 M3 CSL Touring they never sold because hardly anyone would BUY one
I for one would be driving an E46 M3 Touring as my daily drive had they ever gone into production :smokin:
I'm pretty sure that an E46 M3 CSL 'Touring' was never on the cards, however lol!

In Your Humble Opinion, obviouslyOriginally posted by Straightsix View PostThe E46 M3 Touring let alone E46 M3 CSL Touring they never sold because hardly anyone would BUY one
As G-dog already said, there would have been enough buyers for E46 M3 Touring. It's not as if AUDI had any dificulty selling the RS range of Avants :-D
At a guess quite few on here would have had an E46 M3 Touring as a Daily smoker & Cecils other brother :supz: me included :smokin:
Alternatively, this would have been nice too :smt055

I am sure they would have sold "some" E46 M3 Tourings but whether they would have sold enough to cover R&D costs etc is another matter.Originally posted by glendog74 View PostI have to disagree; I bet they would have sold enough to justify putting an E46 M3 Touring into production.

BMW have sold E34 M5 Touring and E61 M5 Touring.
Both never sold in great numbers at all
Why there wasn't a E39 M5 Touring ( well there was one for the head of BMW M) is I think something to do with development or handling and again sales projections.
If BMW really believed they could sell enough E46 M3 Tourings brand new they would have done but they didn't presumably because there was no business case.
No point making something even if tech fest if you can't cover costs and make a profit
You also have to ask if they thought not selling the E46 M3 Touring was a mistake why they
didn't sell a E9X M3 Touring
As for Audis a lot of ppl that want estates generally are Audi lovers any way
