E36 Stationwagon only came in 1995
After the Sedan, the Coupé, the Cabriolet and the Compact, the Touring completed the Gamma of the BMW 3-Series E36 in 1995. With that he was a latecomer in the series, just like the model that preceded him. The sedan was already there in 1991, but the first touring based on the previous BMW 3-series E30 was allowed to exist until 1994. Something that would be unthinkable nowadays.
A new 3-series, a new touring. Due to the great success of the station wagon variant of the 3-series E30, it was impossible for a follow-up. Despite its late addition to the range, the E30 Touring had taken care of ten percent of the total sales of that series. A reputable achievement, which we have to see in the light of the then budding interest in cars that gave substance to the ‘lifestyle’ phenomenon. Specifically: With a luxurious, precious, but not necessarily Royale Stationwagon you show that you are in the rich possession of a children’s base, voluminous hobbies and the priceless pleasure of leisure time. It was not uncommon for the station wagon to be seen as the most dynamic and attractive version of the model series in question.
3-series Touring was the reason for Audi 80, A4 Avant and C-Class Combi
The first 3-series Touring had clearly detached something, because also in 1995 Audi introduced the A4 Avant as a direct competitor, after an avant was added in a late life phase of that model with predecessor Audi 80. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Combi followed the following year, just like the Volvo V40. The E36 Touring was the most spacious of three’s, but under the line – read: the roll cover of the luggage space – anything but a spaceship wonder. With 370 liters there was 45 liters less available than in the sedan. Although the rear seatrest folded down a big hole behind the front seats, the loading floor was the opposite of a billiard cloth because of the voluminous rear -wheel suspension and the prominent housings of the shock absorbers. But what would it be; It was mainly about the appearance and it was thick for each other during the Touring. The same applied to its rich qualities, because the lovers of the model series could enjoy the same clear proportions as with the sedan. There was no extended tail piece that could take the dynamics of the car down.
With the Top Model 328i you were assured of the thickest six -cylinder, which gave you a healthy 193 hp of leeway. With regard to its great-grandson, the M340i xDrive, we can look forward to seeing that the six-cylinder 3-series Touring is still available. In fact, there is even an M3 Touring for the first time in the history of the 3-series Touring!
