Days after an actual BMW M3 Touring race car finished fifth overall at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, beating a factory M4 GT3 EVO in the process, a German dealer is selling the street-legal fantasy version. Hakvoort Group has built what it calls the M3 GT3 Touring, a full-dress conversion that wraps a standard M3 Competition xDrive wagon in the visual aggression of a GT3 car without surrendering its license plates.
The price is €159,500 for the complete car. Already own an M3 Touring? The conversion kit runs €45,657, plus roughly €11,000 for installation, Germany’s notoriously strict TÜV inspection, and road registration.
For context, BMW’s own M3 CS Touring started at €152,900 and topped out near €165,710 fully loaded before being discontinued after its typical one-year run. So the Hakvoort build lands squarely in CS territory on price, but goes several steps further in visual intensity.
The parts list reads like a greatest-hits compilation from BMW’s performance catalog crossed with Alpha-N’s aftermarket shelf. The titanium exhaust comes from the M4 CSL. The kidney grille is lifted from the M3 CS.
Alpha-N supplies the vented hood, vented fenders, a massive front splitter, and the centerpiece: a carbon-fiber GT3-style rear wing so large it effectively eliminates rearward visibility. The rear wiper has been deleted, which is either a commitment to aesthetics or an acknowledgment of reality.
KW V4 coilovers handle suspension duties. Inside, Recaro Pole Position seats replace the stock BMW buckets, flanking an Alcantara-wrapped M Performance center armrest with tricolor stitching. Under the hood, the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six gets a 55Parts intake system upgrade, though Hakvoort hasn’t published revised power figures.
The standard M3 Competition xDrive makes 503 horsepower. Expect a modest bump, not a transformation. A full wrap and M3 GT3 badges at both ends complete the look.
This build didn’t materialize in a vacuum. BMW Motorsport planted the seed on April 1, 2025, when it posted a concept rendering of an “M3 Touring GT3 Evo” as an April Fool’s joke. Then BMW actually went and built a race-spec M3 Touring and entered it in the 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours, where it won the SP-X class and embarrassed at least one proper GT3 car in the overall standings.
The joke became a proof of concept. Hakvoort is now selling the street-legal interpretation.
The timing is deliberate and clever. With the M3 CS Touring gone from BMW’s configurator and no direct replacement announced, there’s a narrow window where deep-pocketed wagon enthusiasts have nowhere else to go. Hakvoort is filling a gap that BMW created and then walked away from.
Whether a dealer-built conversion carries the same long-term cachet as a factory CS is a question the secondhand market will answer in five years. But for now, a TÜV-approved, road-legal M3 wagon wearing a GT3 wing and CSL exhaust exists for roughly the same money BMW charged for its most extreme production version. That’s either a bargain or a bold bet, depending on how you value the roundel on the hood versus the parts bolted around it.
